King of bling, with tech to back it up.
Art. Chris King parts in general, and their hubs in particular, are functional art. With a sexy shape and mirror smooth anodized finish, they're certainly ogle-worthy. And they're just as beautiful on the inside. They have a well deserved reputation for being as strong as they are light weight. Chris King hubs are easy to maintain, disassemble, rebuild, convert, and customize -- you can do it all.
Chris King found that designing the ISO disc hub (a.k.a. 6-bolt pattern) caused them to improve their hubs in general. In addition to lightening them in comparison to their older Universal Disc model, they increased the flange diameter, which makes it easier to thread the spokes and wheels can be stiffer due to the slightly shorter spokes.
The Chris King ISO Disc Rear Hub is available with 32 or 36 spoke holes and comes in five colors -- Black, Green, Navy, Red, and Silver. It comes equipped for use with a standard Quick Release skewer, but the QR specific inserts can be backed out of the one-piece axle ends if you want to use Chris King's Fun Bolts (not included) for a more secure connection to your frame. It has a 135mm Over Locknut Dimension (OLD). The flange diameter is 57.6mm, and the center to flange measurements are 20.1mm on the right and 33.9mm on the left.
- 32 or 36 spoke

Would this be compatible with Stans Flow EX ZTR rear wheel? Also what are the differences between this and the thru-axle ones?
Works as advertised!
Worth every cent...love the way they sound! I have serviced twice on my own with no issues to report!
I am replacing a "Custom Shimano M525 SL, alloy QR, 32h" from a '09 Specialized
Stumpjumper. This is the URL to the bike: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/archive/2009/stumpjumperht/stumpjumper#specs
Will this rear hub from Chris King work?
Hey Conrad, you'll need the 32hole, 135mm/10mm QR and you'll be good to go.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The tolerances on the machining of a King hub are unparalleled...period.
I bought this hub at a decent price and decided I wanted to build a wheel for the first time. "They" say you're not supossed to build an expensive first wheel. Well, I did, and I found out two things. I'm only building my own wheels from now on, and I'll only do it with King hubs! The build turned out great, and the hub is outstanding.
I like parts that last from one frame to another. This hub will go of many years of smooth riding.
Oh, the other awesome perk is the killer bee sound.
You get what you pay for!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
The first reaction I always get when people see this hub on my bike is "Damn, that thing is expensive!"
Yes, it is, but it is expensive for a reason. The bearing quality in the Chris King is the absolute best you can get without going ceramic, while at the same time, more durable for a mountain application than pretty much any ceramic bearing hub out there.
The ringdrive is also so precise and provides such tight engagement, that it has legitimately bailed me out of more than one super slow technical section with the instantaneous nature of its engagement.
Yes, it's pricey, but it's a hub that you install, adjust once after the bearings "settle" into their places, and then never have to touch again. Plus, the freehub sounds like you have a billion bees following you which I think is awesome.
Will this hub suit shimano 11 speeds?

Whether we realize it or not, criminal justice touches just about every part of our lives. We see cops on the beat, helping normal people like you and me every day and responding to 911 calls.
When a crime's committed, police detectives kick it into high gear to find the criminals and bring them to justice. Once they're apprehended, our court system decides on the guilt or innocence of the accused. And when people are found guilty of a crime, our prison system steps in to punish and/or rehabilitate wrongdoers. At all levels, criminal justice schools play a role in educating police, paralegals, corrections officers, and more.
Whatever we think about this system, it's doing an important job every day. The United States has more police officers than all but two other countries (China and India). There are more lawyers in the U.S. than in all but one other country (India). And there are more people in American jails and prisons than anywhere else in the world.
And this means there are plenty of career opportunities in policing, forensics, law enforcement, the legal field, and corrections.
Forensic scientists collect and evaluate trace evidence. It's their job to analyze weapons, fingerprints and bodily fluids, and perform tests on other evidence.
Computer forensics and forensic psychology are two related professions that also help solve crime and bring people to justice.
Forensics is a popular field because of TV shows like CSI, and you can do it too if you have the drive…and the training.
Law enforcement personnel includes cops and police detectives, but the FBI is our national, elite crime-fighting team.
And the law enforcement branches of Homeland Security are at work in every state keeping us safe and sound. In fact, Homeland Security covers much more than you'd think. See below for the other roles of Homeland Security.
There are obviously many career opportunities in every branch of law enforcement.
Homeland Security has taken on an ever-larger role in our country since Sept, 11, 2001. Homeland Security includes airport check points, immigration enforcement, the fight against human trafficking, cybersecurity, disaster response, and, of course, fighting terrorism.
There's no more satisfying career than one in which you know that you're contributing to the security of our country. Find out what you need to enter this rewarding career.
Once the accused are apprehended, they have the right to their day in court, and our legal system ensures that everyone gets a fair trial. Even if you don't want to become a lawyer, there are plenty of great job opportunities in law firms, corporations and government, such as legal secretary, paralegal, court reporter, and more.
Paralegals perform many of the same tasks as lawyers. In fact, behind every great lawyer, there are smart, hard-working paralegals.
Read about some of the great careers in the legal community, and get the education you need to help the litigation process go smoothly, negotiate settlements, and bring criminals to justice.
If you go to trial and are found innocent, you go free. If you're found guilty by a jury of your peers, then you'll be put into the custody of the corrections system.
Here, you'll pay your debt to society, and be rehabilitated so that when your prison term is up, you have technical skills and emotional intelligence to make a successful reentry into society.
With over 749,000 workers providing for the needs of almost seven million clients (inmates, parolees and probationers), the correctional system goes well beyond prison walls. Corrections (including jails, prisons, parole, probation and community-based programs) is an important part of any society, and perhaps more so in the United States than in other countries.
Learn what training you'll need to work in the American correctional system.
The U.S. Department of Education distributes about $150 billion a year in grants, work-study programs and low-interest student loans to more than 15 million students. This money helps students afford the college education they need to succeed in all branches of criminal justice studies.
Paying for school is one of the top priorities for anyone going to college. "Just how will I pay for it?" we all wonder. The answer is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. According to the Department of Education, this form takes less than an hour to fill out if you have all the required documents, and it's the first step to qualify for federal financial aid.
So whether you're thinking of a career in law enforcement, forensics, as a paralegal, or in corrections, read more about getting financial aid you need to afford that all-important college education.learn more

Disney Infinity Enrolls in Monsters University
Brand new screenshots from Disney Infinity featuring Monsters University have surfaced from Toy Fair 2013.
Monsters University is Pixar's next big release, and to help promote the film, there will be a set of figures for Disney to tie into its upcoming Disney Infinity video game. As you can see from the images below, there are bound to be some zany antics at Monsters U., with Mike and Sully getting into all kinds of trouble.
In addition to the main Monsters University portion, there are also a few shots of Mike and Sully living it up in the Toy Box (Infinity's open-ended create-your-own adventure mode), with the likes of Buzz Lightyear and Davy Jones. Also, one of the vehicles is clearly an old school Space Paranoids Rectifier, so I'm buying this game immediately.
Check out the images below, and let us know what Disney property you want to see make it into Infinity.

Download these principles in Adobe Acrobat format by clicking here. (HTML version below)
The purpose of reading is comprehension. How do we teach children to comprehend more difficult and varied texts? Until recently, we had few answers. But research from recent decades has provided a general outline of how to effectively teach reading comprehension.
1. Effective comprehension instruction requires purposeful and explicit teaching.
Effective teachers of reading are clear about their purposes. They know what they are trying to help a child achieve and how to accomplish their goal. They provide scaffolded instruction in research-tested strategies (predicting, thinking aloud, attending to text structure, constructing visual representations, generating questions and summarizing). Scaffolded instruction includes explicit explanation and modeling of a strategy, discussion of why and when it is useful, and coaching in how to apply it to novel texts.
2. Effective reading instruction requires classroom interactions that support the understanding of specific texts.
Effective teachers have a repertoire of techniques for enhancing children's comprehension of specific texts, including discussion, writing in response to reading, and multiple encounters with complex texts. They are clear about the purposes of teacher- and student-led discussions of texts, and include a balance of lower and higher-level questions focusing on efferent and aesthetic response. Well-designed writing assignments deepen children's learning from text.
3. Effective reading comprehension instruction starts before children read conventionally.
Children in preschool and kindergarten develop their comprehension skills through experiences that promote oral and written language skills, such as discussions, play activities, retellings, and emergent readings. Early childhood environments can be made literacy-rich through thoughtful inclusion of appropriate materials and practices. Reading and rereading a wide variety of texts contributes to both phonemic awareness and comprehension.
4. Effective reading comprehension teaches children the skills and strategies used by expert readers.
Expert readers are active readers who use text and their own knowledge to build a model of meaning, and then constantly revise that model as new information becomes available. They consider the author's intentions and style when judging a text's validity, and determine the purposes that the text can serve in their liveshow it can further their knowledge, deepen their enjoyment, and expand their ways of examining and communicating with the world. They also vary their reading strategy according to their purpose and the characteristics of the genre, deciding whether to read carefully or impressionistically.
5. Effective reading comprehension instruction requires careful analysis of text to determine its appropriateness for particular students and strategies.
Teachers analyze each text to determine its potential challenges and match it with their goals. They consider conceptual and decoding demands and apply strategies to meet those challenges. Interactions with texts requiring minimal teacher support help hold children accountable as independent readers. Scaffolded experiences ensure that all children are exposed to high-level text and interactions.
6. Effective reading comprehension instruction builds on and results in knowledge, vocabulary, and advanced language development.
Children are better able to comprehend texts when they are taught to make connections between what they know and what they are reading. Good comprehension instruction helps them make these connections more effectively. Vocabulary knowledge is an important part of reading comprehension, and good vocabulary instruction involves children actively in learning word meanings, as well as relating words to contexts and other known words. Teaching about words (including morphology) improves children's comprehension.
7. Effective reading comprehension instruction pervades all genres and school subjects.
Children need to read in a wide variety of genresnot only narrative, but informational, procedural, biographical, persuasive, and poetic. They will only learn to do so through experience and instruction. Each school subject requires the ability to read in specific genres; therefore, comprehension should be taught in all subjects.
8. Effective reading comprehension instruction actively engages children in text and motivates them to use strategies and skills.
Effective teachers create an environment in which children are actively involved in the reading process. In such an environment children read more, which in turn improves their comprehension and knowledge. Children need to be motivated to learn and apply skills and strategies during reading.
9. Good comprehension instruction requires assessments that inform instruction and monitor student progress.
The use of multiple assessments provides specific and timely feedback to inform instruction and monitor student progress toward research-based benchmarks. Good assessment identifies students' comprehension levels as they develop from preschool to advanced grade levels, and helps the teacher to evaluate each child's need for support in areas such as language development, strategy, and the application of knowledge. Effective assessment also enables teachers to reliably interpret data and communicate results to students, parents, and colleagues.
10. Effective reading comprehension instruction requires continuous teacher learning about the processes and techniques detailed in the previous nine principles, and ways to use such knowledge to develop the comprehension skills and strategies of all students. Working closely with their peers in school-based or interest-based learning communities, effective teachers learn to use assessment data, reflections on their own practice, and moment-by-moment feedback from children to vary the support they provide to students with different levels of expertise and confidence.

This really is a treat for action lovers; 'Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol' is filled with relentless action almost all throughout the film. Seeing the film in IMAX made it even more enjoyable because a lot of the shots in the film are so thrilling that you feel like you are hanging on by a thread along with our main character Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). This film is one of the best action films of the year and it really lives up to the hype and fits in nicely with the phenomenon of all the 'Mission Impossible' flicks.
In this sequel Ethan gets some new team members from the IMF: Jane (Paula Patton), Brandt (Jeremy Renner) along with his old pal Benji (Simon Pegg). After a terrible misunderstanding between Russia and the U.S. the team is sent to try to stop a terrorist: Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist), from detonating a missile that will start a nuclear war. The trick is that the team must complete this task on their own without help from the IMF, since because of the misunderstanding the president has shut them down and so they begin what they call "Ghost Protocol". If the team is not able to stop Hendricks intricate plan, which involves using a satellite, then Ethan's team will be blamed for the terrorist act and everything they've worked for will go down the drain along with their entire lives.
Cruise is the exact same Ethan we've seen in the past, he still performs amazing stunts and has the same strong character that seems to be untouched by anything physically and emotionally. We travel to Hungary, Russia, Dubai and India. The Dubai sequence has some of the best scenes, my favorite is Ethan having to climb the tallest building in the world with some "spider-man" like gloves. There are some interesting twists in the movie but one of its biggest flaws is the plot. The whole Russian/American tension just like in the Cold War era has been overplayed.
If you are a fan of the past Mission Impossible movies this one will certainly not disappoint, it connects it to the rest nicely. Director Brad Bird certainly made his own version of the series while still respecting those that already exist; the combination of both of these elements is what made this film maybe the best out of the Mission Impossible series.

Helping With DisastersBy Nick Wreden | Posted 2009-10-28 Print
The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, the Salvation Army and the World Wildlife Fund must deal with many of the same technology challenges facing for-profit enterprises, but they don't have the same resources available to them.
Helping With Disasters
As the BGCA works to prevent security-related problems that can harm children, the Salvation Army's Southern Territory prepares to help people during hurricanes and other natural disasters. During those challenging times, communications are often difficult—and sometimes impossible. Cell phone towers and telephone lines may be out of commission, complicating the urgent need to summon resources and coordinate relief efforts.
To ensure that relief teams can stay in touch, the Salvation Army, founded in 1865 and now operating in 118 countries, depends on mobile communications units that enable the teams to allocate resources and coordinate activities among volunteers and organizations via e-mail, phones and even video conferencing.
"While the Salvation Army is famous for its thrift stores and Christmastime efforts, we are also heavily involved in disaster relief," says Rod Parks, information technology director and CIO at the Salvation Army's USA Southern Territory, which is headquartered in Atlanta. "After Hurricane Katrina, we made a large investment in mobile communications and other technology to improve effectiveness."
The Salvation Army's technology investments include four mobile communications units that enable voice, data and other communications. One unit is a mobile truck featuring a 1.2-meter satellite dish, while the other units have .9-meter dishes. These portable 4-by-7-foot units are usually transported in customized, ruggedized trailers, but they can be carried in if access is blocked.
All the self-supporting units include diesel generators, and have computing and communications capabilities. Laptops contain Lotus Notes databases and other applications, while BlackBerrys, satellite links, video conferencing and ham (amateur) radio capabilities ensure reliable contact even in the hardest-hit areas.
The mobile communications units are prepositioned in Atlanta; Charlotte, N.C.; Tampa, Fla.; and Jackson, Miss. Each one serves as the hub of a 10-person incident response team and a two-person technical support team. All the units are ready to roll when a disaster threatens and can stay in place as long as necessary. For example, some units have remained in place for weeks or even months at a time when hurricanes hit.
The Salvation Army will also leverage LifeSize video conferencing capability to facilitate regional meetings and the training of officers, employees and volunteers. "It not only helps us improve disaster coordination, but it also saves us an enormous amount of money through lower travel costs, while ensuring that we meet our ongoing educational and communications requirements," says Parks. "As a nonprofit, stewardship is a high priority."

There is no popular factual history of the US role in WWII. Since I came to US, I was struck that popular culture about the war are so wrong and based on fallacies and propaganda. Take the notorious appeasement policies of Neville Chamberlain. The disgraceful policies of appeasement (which certainly facilitated the expansion of the rule of Hitler--he even was expecting a stronger French and British reaction to his provocations in 1938) were not entirely Chamberalain's. FDR was also an appeaser and sent a telegram to Chamberlain congratulating him on his peace talks with Hitler, on the eve of Munich.

As with any museum specimen, provenance of our collections begins with tracking wild collected seeds through arboretum planting and maturation. Species determination and vouchering is conducted at the time of flowering and fruiting. Provenance is expressed through vouchers and provides a permanent record of our collections.
Our publicly accessible IrisBG plant inventory has both Latin and common names. Through the plant inventory, users are able to pinpoint locations of individual arboretum trees. The database also provides botanical information including rarity status and country of origin. Our plant database partner is Leach Botanical Garden. Leach focuses on unusual and rare herbaceous species found in Oregon while the Hoyt Arboretum collection is global, making the collections successful compliments of each other.
The Hoyt Arboretum Herbarium is actively curated and open to the public. We are in the process of determining and vouchering all 6,000 trees in our collection as well as the 7,000 species at Leach Botanical Garden. Vouchers are priceless records, expressing provenance of our most valuable species. In addition to curating our arboretum collections, we serve as a specimen repository and provide determination services for a wide variety of community partners including Portland Parks & Recreation, the City of Portland Bureau of Environmental Services, Metro Regional Government, and university researchers and students. Our long-term partnership goals are to voucher rare and invasive species on all 8,000 acres of Portland Parks & Recreation natural areas including natural areas held by partner government entities.
Herbarium determination services, as well as all our teaching vouchers, are available to researchers, conservation biologists, restoration biologists and educators at all levels as well as the general public. For more information please contact our Arboretum Curator or Systematic Botanist.
Both of our living tree collections and herbarium are arranged within an evolutionary construct using Angiosperm Phylogeny III Herbarium Sequence. This phylogeny-based organization of our collections reveals the evolutionary relationships among and between all species in our collections. This type of organization lends itself to multilayered educational opportunities and aids in research among systematic botanists, conservation biologists, and the general population.The Bill deWeese Classroom in the Visitor Center houses our research library. Our library has over 800 books ranging from technical floras to beginner gardening books. The public is welcome to investigate our growing collection of research material. Please come peruse our library during Visitor Center hours.

I feel so productive and contributive.
Nice work!
However, there is already a thread for this so I will merge it...
Arch + dwm • Mercurial repos • Github
Registered Linux User #482438
I see that now.
First additions, so please check if I did something wrong or violated rules. Just some things that were asked in the forums or #archlinux recently and are somehow hard to get answers to:
1. resize gtk widgets to better fit small screens
2. Prevent conky being minimized in compiz using show desktop button or keybinding.
Yeah, my first ever new wiki page: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/E4rat
How to _drastically_ improve your boot time (but only for ext4).

I've been cleaning up whatever I can see, working mostly with uncategorized articles. Unfortunately, I'm not a fountain of knowledge when it comes to new content, so I can only fix what I see as broken as I go through Archlife with my new netbook. However, whenever there's any downtime at work I'll be working to clean up as much as I can. As much as I love this site, I think the Wiki still needs quite a bit of massaging. There's a wealth of information there but it's not always obvious how to get to it.
Edit: My contribs..

Hey all, now that I have a little free time, I will begin contibuting to the wiki where-ever I can. I am a highly experienced wiki editor, having been one of the admins behind the Ubuntu Document Storage Facility, and having been made admin on the regnum wiki, and admin on a planeshift clan wiki. I also contribute to wikipedia (editing stuff), and I did a little bit of work on uncyclopedia. As for what needs doing at present, well, the request list is a litle empty, though I guess I could make a start on the /etc/modprobe.conf corrections (all 160 of them). Is there an IRC channel associated with the wiki?
You can contact the wiki admins pointone and Gen2ly to get more info and to collaborate on your efforts to improve the wiki.
There's no such thing as a stupid question, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots !

It would be nice to have pages on the Wiki like "Top Contributors", "Most Active in the past week", "....month", "...year", "Highest Average contributions per week, all time", etc, that show contribution statistics. There are a few plugins out there for that.
I created my first ArchWiki page on Jekyll, a simple static site generator written in Ruby and developed by GitHub co-founder Tom Preston-Werner.
Great page toad, can't wait to try it out later today.
Cheers, filam. Same goes for your site - well thought out and presented. Takes some doing when one first sits down and ponders about what to do, doesn't it

Another entry is about disabling the clearing of boot messages (it still bugs me that there is no log for that and I don't know where to start creating one!)
systemd supports early boot logging (via /dev/log). as far as arch's bsd boot process is concerned i think all you can do is use minilogd for output for dmesg and of course prevent tty1 from being cleared.

Best regards,
Hello everyone.
The other day I experimented with the dock/launcher cairo-dock in Openbox. I noticed there was nothing written about it on the wiki here, so I went to the cario-dock wiki and it was a mess, so I started cleaning up that wiki. When that became boring (five days ago) I started hacking this cairo-dock article. Following that, I expanded the avant window navigator and cleaned up the xmobar article. Currently deciding whether I'm going to improve the pypanel article or I'm going to take a vacation.
By the way please join this discussion.

I made a small article in the wiki for configuring tilda. It is really nice to have I found, even though I am already using a tiling wm, it is a lot faster to pull up quickly without wasting space instead of the old MOD+SHIFT+ENTER.
Hope you like it.

I solved a two year old merge request by updating and editing three articles; Privoxy, Polipo and Tor. I also added a lot of information to the Irssi section of the Tor article, which relates to a problem in this thread. Additionally, I added some of the information from Mike Stegeman's post, Blocking ads on Arch Linux with Privoxy.
It's my first wiki contribution and it's not finished, by all means. Please take a look and comment!

I thought the need for this arose when there was a bug in the app code due to the fact that all other rpms and debs were fitted for fedora and debian/ubuntu and not our great Arch linux. So my attempt is to assemble the info needed for an easier install on Arch. Hope you like it.
By the way, Android Notifier Desktop is small application that recieves messages from your Android phone about sms, mms battery status and more. It's mostly fun but a bit useful as well.

Find Outside Product Development Help While Still Keeping Your Secrets
You can still keep your secrets while gaining new perspective and expertise by finding outside product development help.
There was a time when a new product idea was kept close to the vest until your team had time to develop it and bring it to market. After all, you didn't want anyone to scoop you. It was your idea, your baby; your company held the intellectual property, and it was risky to divulge information.
Closed innovation is the name given to this model by Harvard Business School professor Henry Chesbrough. His 2003 book, Open Innovation, traces the changing business climate and philosophy regarding product innovation over the past century. In a world where the only constant is change, how that change occurs becomes an issue of great importance to everybody with a business interest, including food processors.
According to Chesbrough, the process of bringing new ideas to market is undergoing what science historian Thomas Kuhn describes as a paradigm shift from the old model of closed innovation to new open innovation. In the old model, successful innovation required complete control. Companies generated new ideas and then developed, built, marketed, distributed, financed and supported the resulting products on their own.
This "self-reliant" model was characterized by a "virtuous circle." Investment in R&D led to many breakthrough discoveries that enabled companies to bring new products to market and realize more sales and higher margins, which permitted reinvestment in more internal R&D, which led to further breakthroughs.
In this model, which had generated innovation for decades, internal R&D was viewed as a strategic asset, a barrier to competition in many industries because rival companies needed the resources to invest in their own labs. But evolution proceeds from a change in climate. For many reasons, the closed innovation model evolved.
In 1980, Congress passed the Bayh-Dole Act, which allowed researchers to patent inventions developed with government funds. The effect was to make research more available as national labs became open for commercial applications. Add to this the influence of the Internet and open innovation was on its way.
Opening the model
The open innovation paradigm, unlike the virtuous circle, expressed the need to work with people both inside and outside the company. It recognized that external R&D can create significant value, while internal R&D is needed to claim some of that value. You don't have to originate the research to profit from it.
Erosion of the closed innovation model and movement towards a more open innovation paradigm meant that sharing expertise was now a wise move. Application of this model to the food industry means firms can and should use external ideas as well as internal ideas to advance their technology.
The risks and pressures in creating a new product or extending a successful product line have increased greatly in the last few years, according to Alan Reid, senior vice president for U.S. manufacturing and ingredient marketing at Dairy Management Inc., Rosemont, Ill. DMI is a not-for-profit organization that leads and manages the American Dairy Assn., the National Dairy Council and the U.S. Dairy Export Council and works to increase demand for U.S. dairy products and ingredients on behalf of America's dairy producers.
"Expectations for sales are increasing for new products and for line extensions, but the success rate is not. This tends to favor fewer creative products and more sequels," says Reid.
"It's expensive to launch entirely new products, and that means opportunity left on the table," he continues. "A third party can help manage risks, introduce new thinking, supply needed data, provide insight and inject the energy necessary to make the new ideas successful.
"The best practice for new product development is a cooperative approach. Research and development, sales, marketing, production, operations, finance and procurement are different functions that may not always coordinate efficiently. The purpose of the third party is to make certain these departments talk to each other effectively. The third party may provide seminars with different presentations ranging from consumer trends to potential health claims to product development to help assure the most efficient cross-functional team," adds Reid.
Dairy does a good job delivering product value. But to make greatest use of its potential, the in-house research and development team must have specialized resources that only state-of-the-art dairy science can provide. At DMI, the specific expertise is readily at hand.
In order to stay ahead of trends and provide expertise that may not be available at the company, DMI funds centers for dairy research like The North Carolina State University Sensory Service Center. One need only look at the booming yogurt category to see evidence of the application of this expertise.
Connecting to the network
At NineSigma, Cleveland, the approach is something clients call "insourcing innovation," rather than outsourcing product development. "Typically companies need enhanced research and development capability. NineSigma's role is to help the client put together a team based on their needs, which from one client to another can vary extensively," says Paul Stiros, CEO of NineSigma.
Note to Plant Ops … and Packaging
Just as the management and/or R&D team must carefully consider outsourcing product development, so must they consider outsourcing manufacturing. Contract manufacturing and packaging can help food processors improve operational efficiency, shorten time to market and improve cost control.

"So many attendees this year have an optimistic outlook for their companies. This is just such great news compared to what we heard last year." –Gary Petty, president and CEO, National Private Truck Council
Attendance here at the National Private Truck Council's (NPTC) annual convention – held this year in Cincinnati, OH – is definitely up over last year, with close to 900 folks prowling the show floor and workshops covering a wide variety of topics, compared to roughly 750 in 2009.
By and large, most of the people I've talked with – representing fleets and suppliers alike – seemed to think we've turned a corner not just in terms of the U.S. and global economy, but in trucking as well.
[That's Gary Petty, NPTC's president and CEO, at right.]
However, that doesn't mean the challenges facing the industry suddenly up and melted away; rather, they are shifting. One logistics manager I talked with fulminated on the growing lack of capacity in trucking and how that may plague the industry for some time to come.
Fleets – both private and for-hire – in many cases made permanent reductions to their operations in the face of the dire economic headwinds of 2008-2009, leaving them constrained now that freight volumes are starting to tick up again.
Still, this is an issue driven in large measure by the relentless long-term pressure on freight rates by shippers; a strategy that is starting to come back to haunt many, and may yet force many to get back into the trucking business themselves if they want to obtain reliable, consistent capacity.
[Below is a music tour of NPTC's 2010 convention being held here in Cincinnati, OH.]
I talked with Carl Anderson with Stoughton Trailers about the strong quoting activity going on for transportation equipment right now. After many fleets over-extended the ownership period for trucks and trailers in order to reduce capital expenditures, many may find themselves with no other option than to buy new units.
"Everyone's looking for late model used equipment, but guess what? Not a lot of that is out there as everyone held on to their units during the downturn," Anderson told me. The trailer manufacturing industry would welcome a host of new orders; according to ACT Research, trailer sales as a whole dropped to 79,432 units last year – a nearly 50% drop from 144,377 in 2008 and over 75% decline from 277,398 units in 2006.
There's also growing concern over rising diesel fuel prices. Since February this year, the average price for diesel in the U.S. increased 25 cents to $3.06 per gallon, and forecasts from the Energy Information Administration indicate demand for crude oil – from which diesel is made – is only going to go up in the months ahead.
More troubling to John Felmy, chief economist for the American Petroleum Institute, is that U.S. energy policy still seems to be focused on reducing opportunities to tap domestic supplies of oil and natural gas – restricting supply even as global demand seems headed for a spike.
People don't realize, Felmy (at left) said, that when President Obama announced his Administration's intention to open parts of the Atlantic Coast to offshore drilling, his plan also called for the removal of large swaths of the Pacific Coast from consideration. "He put 3.8 billion barrels worth of potential supply on the table, while taking 13. Billion barrels off of it," Felmy noted in a presentation here at NPTC.
The issue is that there's roughly 116.4 billion barrels worth of untapped oil supplies in the U.S., both on land and in coastal waters – capable of fueling 65 million cars for 60 years – with a further 650.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas available, which could heat 60 million homes for 160 years. This is all critical as energy demand continues to rise, while alternative sources of power remain scarce.
"We say we're going to double the amount of power we're going to get from the wind over the next decade; great, that brings us from 1% to 2% of that generating capacity," Felmy explained. "What people don't realize is that it takes a long time to transition from one energy source to the next. For example, oil was discovered in 1859, but it wasn't until 1950 when its use surpassed that of coal."
This is but one of many challenges trucking – and freight transportation at large – is going to face as the world's economies continue to recover.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday insisted that he would defend the Jewish settlement enterprise on the ancient Jewish lands of Judea and Samaria, but a day later he was expected to fire any cabinet ministers that backed a bill that would actually protect such communities.
Speaking to Likud activists at a party conference, Netanyahu was adamant that the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria "enjoy the support and appreciation of the Likud government."
The Likud conference was held just days before a party primary in which Netanyahu's leadership is being challenged by party activist Moshe Feiglin, who is gaining broad popularity among so-called "Jewish settlers" for his unwavering stand in defense of their right to settle Israel's biblical heartland.
Feiglin has repeatedly called Netanyahu out as a hypocrite, and will likely do so again ahead of the primary vote, noting that while Netanyahu publicly promised to protect the settlements, he was busy intimidating fellow Likud ministers to vote against a new law that would make it illegal to uproot most Jewish communities.
Authored by minister Zevulun Orlev (Jewish Home Party), the "Outpost Law" would prevent the forced evacuation of any Jewish settlement that had been in existence for at least four years and was inhabited by at least 20 families. Those conditions would retroactively legalize a large number of "illegal outposts" - small Jewish communities, many of which were established with government backing, but which lacked official authorization by the Defense Ministry.
The bill also demands that any Palestinian claims to the lands on which such outposts are built must be backed up by actual evidence in order to receive a favorable ruling in Israeli courts. Israel's Supreme Court is in the habit of ruling in favor of Palestinian claimants based on little more than cursory evidence.
Netanyahu has staunchly opposed the bill, as it would put him in a sticky situation vis-a-vis the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and likely open Israel up to a new wave of harsh international criticism. As such, it was widely rumored that Netanyahu had threated to fire from the cabinet any Likud minister who voted in favor of the bill in the Knesset plenum, where the bill was expected to be officially presented later this week.
Without the backing of the Ministerial Committee on Legislation, which Netanyahu has purposely kept away from the bill, it has a much reduced chance of passing in the Knesset.

Oby featured at McCoy Lectures
PLAINVIEW -- Wayland Baptist University and First Baptist Church in Plainview hosted the 10th annual McCoy Lecture Series on Wednesday with the Reverend Carlton Oby serving as the guest speaker.
Established through First Baptist Church by a donation from the late Dr. Dorothy McCoy, who served as a professor of mathematics at Wayland, the McCoy Lecture series seeks to honor her passion for missions and sharing the Gospel.
Reverend Carlton Oby is the Associate Executive Director of Mercy Street in West Dallas, named the 11th poorest community in the nation. On Wednesday morning he addressed Wayland students about the importance of loving one another and reaching out not only across the world, but in their own neighborhoods to touch the lives of people in need.
In the regularly scheduled chapel meeting, Oby drew from Mathew 22 verses 37-39 in which Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God and the second is to love one another.
"What God asks us to do is love Him and love other people," Oby said.
He said once people truly understand the depth of God's love, it is easy to love him in return. The difficult task, he said, is to love other people.
"As flawed humans, we have a tendency to love those who love us," Oby said. "But God
has called us to so much more. He has called us to love the last, the least and the
Oby quoted numerous scripture to point out the importance of taking care of those who are less fortunate and to look out for the needs of others wherever they may be.
"Love should not only take you across the globe and across the sea, but it should also take you across the room," he said.
He closed his address with a two-fold challenge to the student and to the church as a whole, saying that not every student will make a million dollars, but they all can do something great for the kingdom of God. He then challenged the church as a whole to embrace the whole Gospel in order to change the world.
"Remember the 'faith' and do not forget the last, the lost and the least," he said.

Iowa Masters in Anthropology Schools & Campus Anthropology Masters Program
Graduate students who enjoy research, fieldwork and traveling to new locations in order to observe and collect data about different cultures might find that searching for masters in anthropology schools may be an interesting exercise. If you are someone who has an interest in studying the humanities, social and natural sciences, earning a Masters in Anthropology on Campus may lead to a variety of potential career paths. Some graduates of anthropology programs go onto jump-start their careers as professional anthropologists, while others might pursue careers as archeologists, sociologists, geographers or teachers.
Potential Curriculum in Masters in Anthropology Schools
Curricula at masters in anthropology schools varies by program, and can be influenced by any specialization in anthropology, such as museum anthropology, applied anthropology, archaeology, biological anthropology, linguistic anthropology, and socio-cultural anthropology or ethno botany. As a wide-ranging discipline of study, some of the topics of study might include:
- Biology
- Biomedicine
- Sociology
- Language
- History
- Political Science
- Economics
- Human Behavior
- Cultural resources management
While anthropology as a whole is defined as the study of humanity, it is divided into different branches which students could choose to concentrate in:
- Socio-Cultural anthropology studies the workings of societies.
- Linguistic anthropology studies the influence of languages
- Biological, or physical anthropology, studies the development of the human organism
- Archaeology
Generally, if you are drawn to work in research and academia, earning a master's degree in Anthropology could be the basis for advanced studies, such as a Ph.D. in Anthropology or Archaeology. Entry-level education for jobs in this field is a Master's Degree, so if you are looking

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Sweet Green Fields (SGF), the leading U.S. science based, natural sweetener innovator, today announced it was granted a product patent (regardless of manufacturing process) by the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) for Rebaudioside A (Reb A) products greater than 98.6 percent purity.
"Sweet Green Fields achieved another industry first, as no other patents cover Reb A purity higher than 98.7 percent. The company's Altesse Stevia™ 99 and its newest edition, Puresse Stevia™ 100, as well as pending new steviol glycosides are covered by this patent," said Mike Quin, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Sweet Green Fields.
Puresse Stevia™ 100 is the ultimate in steviol glycoside purity. Under the management of Dr. Mel Jackson, SGF's vice president of science, the SGF team studied numerous methodologies to remove impurities and deliver an exceptional sweet taste.
With the use of SGF's unique Modified Quantitative Descriptive Analysis/Liking Test, sensory research was conducted on Puresse Stevia™ 100 in full diet and reduced sugar carbonated soft drink applications. Included in the formulation study were colas formulated with HFCS, Aspartame, and various steviol glycoside blends including Reb A and Reb D, with and without taste modulators. The research concluded that Puresse Stevia™ 100 with modifiers was the clear winner in full diet applications in all key attributes including sweetness, bitterness, and lingering.
"Sweet Green Fields has truly set a new standard for ultra-high purity stevia extract," commented Alex Woo, SGF's vice president of application and innovation. "When it comes to challenging diet beverage formulation, regardless of blends and taste modulators, starting with the purest product is always better. SGF's passion for innovation has led to uncompromised product purity delivering a consistent sweet taste, clean finish and no product variability."
The Zevia brand, which accounts for 78-percent of the naturally sweetened low/zero calorie U.S. soda market, recently reformulated to sweeten with SGF's Altesse Stevia™ 99.
"Sweet Green Fields, like Zevia, has been on a parallel path to continuously improve product taste," said Paddy Spence, Zevia CEO. "SGF works closely with our product team, providing added formulation and sensory expertise. Zevia conducted extensive consumer testing and the new formulation was overwhelmingly preferred by soda drinkers."
In addition, SGF holds the only product patent for high purity Reb-A extract globally. Puresse Stevia™ 100 is currently covered by patents in Australia, Canada and New Zealand, with patents pending in five additional countries worldwide, including the U.S. and Europe. The Canadian patents provide Sweet Green Fields with the ability to exclusively market and sell its Puresse Stevia™ 100 and Altesse Stevia™ 99 branded sweeteners and along with other high-purity steviol glycoside products in development.

However, the Mets could still honor their Shea history by outlining a replica of the playing field in the parking lot and denote where some of the most memorable plays occurred with statues. Such of Seaver on the mound when he struck out 19 Padres, or Buckner, or the Swododa and Agee catches, of Cleon catching the final out of the 69 Series.
In Atlanta, the Braves have a replica of an outfield wall and mark where Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record, so it's not like this hasn't been done before.

Tim Rutten, the Los Angeles Times Op-Ed columnist laid off last year, has been hired by the Los Angeles Daily News to opine on Southern California current affairs.
The Daily News, part of the Los Angeles News Group, announced the addition of Rutten on Friday.
He will write a regular Sunday opinion column, beginning this weekend. The column also will appear on the websites for the news group's other eight newspapers.
Rutten spent nearly 40 year as a reporter and editor at the Times. He was laid off in August 2011.
Also read: Tim Rutten: Did Errors, Not Ageism, Contribute to His L.A. Times Pink Slip?
"Whatever the merits of your work, to be older and to be collecting a relatively large paycheck was to have a kind of target on your back," Rutten said on KPCC's now-defunct "The Madeleine Brand Show" after his layoff.
That explanation rankled some in the Times newsroom, who say that careless factual errors contributed to his ouster.
An op-ed piece about the political novel "O: A Presidential Novel" in February 2011 was apparently the worst transgression: His citing of two passages that did not appear in the book but appeared in a parody story on the Guardian's website reportedly prompted a disciplinary review and Rutten's removal from writing book reviews even though the piece was not part of the book coverage.
The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg uncovered the error.
At the time, Rutten told TheWrap that the "O" mistake was not among the reasons cited for why he was let go from the paper.
"No mention of that correction or of anything connected to it was made to me when I was laid off," Rutten said. "I was simply told that I was being laid off because they were asked to make serious cuts in the department, and that's the only explanation that I was given."
Over his long career, Rutten collected a series of awards including the Anti-Defamation League's Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize, the American Civil Liberties Union's Defender of the First Amendment Prize, and the Los Angeles County Criminal Courts Bar Association's Journalism Excellence Award.

Definitions of polar
a. - Of or pertaining to one of the poles of the earth, or of a sphere; situated near, or proceeding from, one of the poles; as, polar regions; polar seas; polar winds. 2
a. - Of or pertaining to the magnetic pole, or to the point to which the magnetic needle is directed. 2
a. - Pertaining to, reckoned from, or having a common radiating point; as, polar coordinates. 2
n. - The right line drawn through the two points of contact of the two tangents drawn from a given point to a given conic section. The given point is called the pole of the line. If the given point lies within the curve so that the two tangents become imaginary, there is still a real polar line which does not meet the curve, but which possesses other properties of the polar. Thus the focus and directrix are pole and polar. There are also poles and polar curves to curves of higher degree than the second, and poles and polar planes to surfaces of the second degree. 2

Like many of you, coffee is a drink I enjoy each and every day. It's my go to in the morning to get me going, and my magic elixir in the afternoon to help my creative juices flow. I would love to thank the individual who created this awesome beverage, but I don't know how I would thank goats.
No, that's not a typo- it says GOATS!
While the exact story of when or who discovered coffee is unknown, there is a widely circulated mythical story that credits the discovery of coffee to goats. According to this legend, Kaldi, a goat herder in Ethiopia many centuries ago, was tending to his herd of goats. He noticed his herd eating the fruit of a tree and that upon eating the cherries the goats became animated. They were jumping around and appearing to almost dance on their hind legs. Curious about the source of his herds' strange behavior, Kaldi decided to try the fruit himself. After eating a coffee cherry Kaldi felt energized! The story says Kaldi was so excited about this new fruit that he took the coffee cherries to the local monastery.
However, the monks at the monastery were not as excited about the coffee as Kaldi. The monks thought that the cherries were from the Devil, and as a result they threw the coffee cherries into a burning fire. . Instead of destroying the cherries, the fire actually roasted them - thus creating the first coffee beans!
Whether this legend is true or not, it's a fun story to share and chances are you'll never look at goats the same way again!

Annie Higginson wrote to her sister Agnes and included news (or the lack thereof) of the campaign in Florida of the regiment of African Americans led by their uncle Thomas Wentworth Higginson and of the battle Kelly's Ford where two other relatives were fighting with the 1st Massachusetts Cavalry. This letter points up the sometimes sketchy information received by families and the public of campaigns during the Civil War. Initial news would come through to the newspaper, and then families and friends would wait eagerly to hear the rest of the story. The telegraph was used extensively for relaying news of battles and other engagements, both to civilian newspapers and to higher ups in government, including President Abraham Lincoln. Annie writes that because a telegram had not been received, the family felt better about fate of the two cavalrymen. They were sure that had either of the men been wounded or killed, a telegram would have been sent.

North Loop reopens after crash near I-45
Photo: Houston Transtar
The 610 Loop in north Houston reopened after it was temporarily blocked following a traffic crash involving a big rig, which lost a load of pipes Tuesday morning.
The two-vehicle wreck happened about 9:40 a.m. on the westbound North Loop near Interstate 45, according to Houston TranStar.
No injuries were reported.
Rainy conditions and slick roads may have contributed to the crash, officials said. Rain showers moved through the area during the morning.
The wreck forced officials to temporarily block the freeway near the crash site while the pipes were picked up and the area was cleared. The freeway lanes reopened about 11:30 a.m.

Mr. Jeopardy: "Down on 3rd street there's an MRI place. It's right across from the Jewish church."

Mr. Jeopardy: "Down on 3rd street there's an MRI place. It's right across from the Jewish church."

- Moose said...
30 yrs ago I had two friends, one Jewish, one Catholic, who were sharing a dorm room. One day they bugged me to drive them food shopping, as one had directions to a "nicer" grocery store than the ones within walking distance.
The Catholic one was giving me directions, which included, "Turn at that Temple - you know, 'Our Lady of Shalom'."
I (and the roommate) laughed so hard I had to pull the car over. And to this day I still call the synagogue at the corner of Wilkins & Shady, "Our Lady of Shalom." [It's really called "Tree of Life".]
- February 9, 2012 at 6:55 PM
Heh, does Mr. Jeopardy know you're Jewish?
- February 9, 2012 at 9:21 PM
"Just out of curiosity, do you know what 'Jiffy Lube' means in Hebrew?"
- February 10, 2012 at 2:18 AM
Speaking of 'Jewish churches', I have a story, semi related. I used to work in a group home with severely developmentally disabled adults. One woman in this group home was Jewish and her family insisted she go to Temple once a week, despite the fact that she had no clue what was going on. One particular week I brought her to Temple and we went in and sat down. The Rabi starts talking, everyone else is quiet. Suddenly the woman I am with jumps up and yells 'HAMBURGER!!'. She then sat back down. 5 minutes go by and suddenly she stands up and yells 'HOT DOG! HAMBURGER! HOT DOG!'. Then she sat back down. There was nothing I could do about it because I was pretty much laughing so hard tears were rolling down my face, I just could not control my laughing fit. A few minutes later she jumped up and did the same thing and I composed myself and got her out of there, but I still couldn't drive back to the group home because I started laughing hysterically again as soon as we got to the car.

So are the Ten Commandments the same or what ?
- February 10, 2012 at 12:14 PM
They're not the same even among different Christian denominations. (Similar, but order and wording differ.) There's just no hope for humanity, I guess.
- February 10, 2012 at 3:11 PM
- Anne said...
Moose - I know the temple you're talking about! I'm just going to think of it as Our Lady of Shalom too from now one.
- February 10, 2012 at 3:24 PM
I'm guessing he anticipated that question and looked up all the locations before he came for his appointment?

@ Packer - the lady from Kim's story probably thought they were the Ten Condiments.
