Find Ways to Curb Data Center Power Usage
With Increasingly Critical Data Centers Consuming a Huge Amount of the Worlds Power, There Are New Ideas About Capturing Efficiencies
Most people don't typically consider 2 to be a very high number. Even putting it in the context of a percentage, it's still not high. Now consider that it's the percentage of global power consumed by data centers. Still not high? Then try this: That power used is a carbon equivalent greater than the entire airline industry.
"When you think of it that way, it's a huge number," said Dave Sterlace, market development manager for the data center business at Thomas & Betts, the newest addition to the ABB family. Sterlace spewed a range of interesting numbers Tuesday afternoon at ABB Automation & Power World in Orlando, Fla., bringing into perspective just how massive power use is by the world's data centers — and ideas about how that power can be reined in.
By some estimates, power usage by data centers will double within five years. And data centers already using 15 to 30 times the power per square foot of an office building; some estimates put that at more like 50 to 100 times.
The largest data center in the world is a 100-MW facility near Chicago that belongs to Digital Realty, which hosts websites for other companies. In all of the Chicago metro area, only the O'Hare International Airport has a bigger power load. In the second half of 2012, Digital Realty added new capacity in metro New York City —an additional 30 MW. "They're big power users, they're going in extremely fast and they have an always-on mentality," Sterlace said.
That always-on mentality is essential for data centers. So while 2.5 is almost as small as 2, it's a huge problem when it's the average number of unplanned outages per year at U.S. data centers. "It's always got to be on," Sterlace says. "So 2.5 outages a year is a big problem."
Those outages equate to big numbers in lost revenue. The average cost of downtime is $350,000/hour. If that downtime happened to fall on Cyber Monday for Amazon, there's no telling how high the cost of "irrecoverable revenue" could be. The total loss in downtime in the United States alone is estimated at $426 billion. "And that's probably a low number," Sterlace says. "That's why people care so much about keeping those data centers up."
All this said, there are trends in computing power at data centers that could have power usage — though still overwhelming — heading in the right direction. There has been a tremendous increase in computing efficiency, Sterlace notes. Server virtualization can equate to up to 80% fewer servers; blade servers increase the power density of racks; and the use of ARM and RISC processors can reduce power consumption by 90%.
Other trends also seem promising, Sterlace said. For example, higher voltages can make power distribution more efficient. You can increase power density using existing wiring; getting twice as much power through the same conductor equals savings in copper wiring.
There is much to be gained by the current movement toward the cloud as well. While current designs are based on hardware redundancy, the cloud is based on applications redundancy, leading to a less costly infrastructure. With the cloud, the use of data centers will be more likely able to "follow the moon" to save on standard energy costs — meaning that server usage could be switched to China, for example, while the Western part of the world is at higher usage levels. Scalable deployment is also key.
Sterlace also spoke of DC distribution, a topic that has already received considerable attention during the week's conference. But could it be the wave of the future? It just might be for leading-edge customers. "For the right person, it could be a really good solution," Sterlace says, explaining how DC can require less transformation and the transformation losses that go along with it.
Still, there are some hurdles that will need to be overcome for DC distribution to be viable on a larger scale. The National Electrical Code (NEC) doesn't yet recognize DC-only wiring, so you're not able to take full advantage of the higher power capacity of DC wiring. Grounding and arc flash standards are still in development, and there is still design work to be done.
"Some of the trends are very good ideas, but you have to determine for yourself which are relevant to your facility," Sterlace said. "Sifting through all the information is the hardest part."

Redskins center Will Montgomery was fined $10,000 for kicking Giants defensive tackle Linval Joseph, but he's appealing on grounds of self defense.
Montgomery dove into a pile trying to recover a fumble, and Joseph grabbed him by the leg as if to pull him out. Montgomery mule-kicked back at him, and Joseph kicked him back. Joseph was flagged on the play.
"I think I have to protect myself," Montgomery said, via Rich Campbell of the Washington Times. "If the guy is dragging me across the ground and potentially twisting my ankle or whatever else, I'm not going to let the guy drag me across the ground. And I can't push him, obviously, because I'm on the ground, so I used my leg to get him off me."
Montgomery has a reasonable case, as someone (wearing a striped shirt) should have been there to keep Joseph's hands (and feet) off him.
UPDATE 3:29 p.m. ET: According to USA Today's Mike Garafolo, Joseph was fined $7,875 for his role in the incident.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Santa Clara University baseball team evened up its three-game series with Gonzaga at one game apiece with an 8-1 victory Sunday afternoon at Buck Shaw Stadium. The Broncos improved their record to 28-25 overall and 18-8 in West Coast Conference play while the Bulldogs fell to 23-24-1 overall and 11-15 in league action.
Santa Clara scored once in the second and three more times in the third to take an early 4-0 lead as two Gonzaga errors led to all four of the Broncos' runs. Michael Thompson picked up the game's first RBI with a single to center in the second. Jason Matteucci's sacrifice fly in the third led to the second run while a Will Thompson triple gave SCU a 3-0 lead. Will Thompson came around to score the fourth run when Michael Thompson reached on a Danny Evans error.
Scott Dierks picked up his third hit of the game in the top of the fourth inning with a double to left field and scored his second run of the game one batter later on a RBI single to center by Jack Headley. The final three runs that the Broncos scored came in the bottom of the sixth inning as A.J. LaBarbera connected on his third home run of the season, driving in Will Thompson and Jim Wallace.
Sam Hess broke up the shutout attempt for the Broncos in the top of the seventh inning as he singled home Gordon Corder who reached on a double earlier in the inning.
Kellan McConnell improved to 3-4 on the season for Santa Clara as he went eight full innings in which he allowed only one run on five hits with no walks and five strikeouts. Andrew Slorp threw the ninth inning and struck out two of the four batters he faced.
Eric Dworkis took the loss for the Bulldogs as he allowed eight runs, four of which were earned, on 12 hits with six walks and two strikeouts in six innings of work. Darrin Trautmann and Kris White combined to throw the final two innings as neither pitcher allowed a run.
Will Thompson and Dierks each finished the day with three hits while Headley and Joe Diefenderfer collected two apiece. A.J. LaBarbera's three RBI led the team, followed closely behind by Michael Thompson's two. David Hoffmire came in as a defensive replacement in the seventh inning and picked up a single in the eighth.
Corder and Hess combined for five of the six Gonzaga hits in the game. Jeff Culpepper was the only other Bulldog to register a hit, with his coming in the fourth inning.
Santa Clara and the Zags will conclude their three-game series Monday afternoon in Buck Shaw Stadium at 2:30 p.m. Following that game the Broncos will remain at home for their final regular season series with Saint Mary's, beginning Friday, May 16 at 6 p.m.

Welcome to the Western White House, Pardner!
The Western White House is the private ranch home of President and Mrs. George W. Bush. Located in the remote, charming hamlet of Crawford, Texas, the Western White House is a modest and photogenic reflection of the Bush family's folksy, down-home authenticity. Completed in 1999, the Western White House was designed by President Bush himself, and is notable for its patriotic and evocative melding of architectural highlights from Baptist prayer halls, medium security penitentiaries, and antebellum tobacco plantations.
While photography is prohibited inside the Western White House, these floor plans offer an exciting and informative glimpse inside the private, yet wholesome world of America's most beloved political dynasty.
Western White House Interior Styling by
Marge Davis
: Official Decorator to Mrs. George W. Bush.
The normal population of Crawford is only 631 people. When President Bush comes to town, that number increases ten-fold, as thousands of arrogant Jewish journalists arrive to shamelessly broadcast liberal lies – often straight from the President's own front lawn!
There is no naturally occurring surface water in Crawford. President Bush remedied this small oversight by God in 2001, with the construction of his strictly private 375 million gallon gamefishing and cigarette boat racing lake.
The temperature in Crawford on an average summer day is 112 degrees Fahrenheit. No Siesta-taking lazy Mexican he – President Bush routinely runs multiple sub-seven-minute miles under these punishing conditions.
Ever attentive to the transportation needs of the President, his guests, and servants, Hertz Rent-a-Car of Crawford maintains a gleaming, dedicated fleet of Hummer Limousines, Ford Excursions, and ringworm-infested burros for their respective use.
Crawford's official motto is "1295 miles from Washington DC, 97% White, and ARMED TO THE TEETH!"

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - Jury selection has begun in Los Angeles for the trial of a lawsuit over the beating of San Francisco Giants fan Bryan Stow at Dodger Stadium after the April 2011 opening day game between the rival teams.
Stow watched from a wheelchair Tuesday as prospective jurors were instructed to fill out questionnaires. The paramedic from Santa Cruz, California, suffered disabling brain damage in the beating, for which two men pleaded guilty to criminal charges earlier this year.
The civil liability and negligence suit seeks millions of dollars in damages from the Los Angeles Dodgers and former owner Frank McCourt.
Lawyers have estimated that Stow's lifetime care could cost $50 million.

In which I embarrass myself
A more permanent solution is to discharge patients from the intensive care unit (ICU) to make space for the extra patients. If they are well enough, sometimes patients can go to the ward, but on Friday we really didn't have anyone in that position. Our only option was to transfer one of our patients to another ICU in a different hospital where they did happen to have some space.
Obviously it's unfair and unsafe for paramedics to transport these critically ill and unstable patients by themselves, so one what happens is that one of the intensive care doctors and one of the ICU nurses travel with these patients in the ambulance to look after them during the journey, and also to hand over the details of their care to the doctors and nurses in the receiving hospital.
And so it is that I find myself in the back of an ambulance taking one of our patients to another hospital.
Anyone who's ever taken a ride in the back of an ambulance will tell you that the windows are obscured so you can't see out. Usually I'm not susceptible to travel sickness, but this day was different. We had the heating up to stop our patient getting cold, the ambulance rocked rolled as we went round corners. I hadn't been feeling well most of the day, I was tired from being on call the day before and hadn't eaten very much because I had an upset belly.
It was the speed bumps that really did it for me. Andy, the nurse who was travelling with me said, "You're being unusually quiet today, Michael."
I looked at him, but couldn't seem to focus properly. His features swam before my eyes and I knew then that I was going to spew.
"I feel horrific," I mumbled. "I'm going to be sick"
He raised an eyebrow. "Really?"
I could only nod because my mouth was filling with saliva and I was holding my breath in an attempt to delay the inevitable long enough to grab a sick bowl.
"Here, take this" said Andy as he quickly pulled a cardboard sick bowl from the pile in which it was stacked.
I accepted it gratefully and promptly vomited into it.
"There he blows!" came the amused voice of the paramedic in the front seat as up came the remnant of my cornflakes and the cup of coffee that I'd had just before leaving. But it didn't stop there, I spent the next quarter of an hour retching bile as the ambulance zoomed through the city with its blue lights on and the siren going. I hadn't felt so miserable for ages.
I had never felt so grateful to see another hospital as I did when we pulled up outside the A&E of the receiving hospital and I was able to get out into the fresh air. Our patient was absolutely fine though and on the inter-hospital transfer paper work I wrote "Uneventful transfer" in the comments section and, of course, I made Andy promise not to breathe a word about this to anyone else in the ICU.

I found myself in a similar situation a week ago,
only i was transporting a very sick child who extubated himself right after the ambulance started up.
I felt nauseated at the end of the trip, was thankful to get back.

"and, of course, I made Andy promise not to breathe a word about this to anyone else in the ICU".
Yeah, right! That little story will be told with glee for years to come - sorry!
Never mind though, it is only by good luck and quick transfers that more of us have not done the same thing.

I normally don't get travel sick either, but I began feeling a little ill while I was out with LAS the other week (as an observer).
The para was telling me it's because the air suspension makes the back rock and roll around much, much more, especially when you're being blue lighted around. Sitting behind the driver/towards the front tends to solve the motion sickness problem, at least it worked well for me for the rest of the day.

Hi! love the blog!!
Very well written and interesting.
I see that you frequently bemoan people asking you to put in venflons for them. AS a brand new FY1 with a number of venflon nightmares, do you have any useful tips??

Try sleeping at the back of the ambulance, it was peaceful until the sirens came on (we had no patients and it was a long day)

If it makes you feel better, last week I nearly passed out/vomited in a GBMF patient's room because the window heater was on high. And daily my motion sickness makes me nearly vomit in the hospital elevators. My time, too, will come. Sorry yours had to last so long! <3 Fizzle

You know, this is why we invented Critical Care Paramedics (CCPs). In Canada, and other locations CCPs are quite capable of handling ventilated patients as well as central lines, multiple drug infusions, and even IABPs (we have our own IABP to transfer the patient onto, as well as ventilators, pumps, etc. No equipment need leave the hospital). If you don't have CCPs where you are, it might be an idea to start advocating for that program to be introduced. It will help keep your clinical staff in the hospital, and the CCPs caring for your patients will be specialists in inter-facility critical care paramedicine. For some ideas, check out http://www.ornge.ca/index.html

Indeed a great post. You have mentioned good & useful information. One should always keep these points in mind. By the way I am looking for eye care specialist. So anyone can suggest me about it. One of my relative suggested me Allegany Optical Hagerstown and said they are very good. Anyone have any idea about them. Please let me know.

Best recognized as a writer, Victor Levin has penned episodes for such popular television programs as the marriage-centered sitcom Mad About You and the 1960s set drama Mad Men, as well as scripted such charming movies as Win a Date With Tad Hamilton! and Then She Found Me. However, in 1999 he dabbled in directing, helming an ep of Mad About You along with a little known venture called The Successor. But his latest script, 5 to 7, has spurred his return to the director's chair, and has stirred up a fantastically promising cast.
Mockingbird Pictures in conjunction with Demarest Films has unveiled a press release revealing six-time Oscar nominee Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs), Oscar nominee Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon), Bérénice Marlohe (Skyfall), Lambert Wilson (Of Gods and Men) and Olivia Thirlby (Being Flynn) have joined Anton Yelchin for this New York-set romantic comedy.
5 to 7 stars Yelchin as a young, aspiring novelist named Brian, who is engaged in a 5 to 7 affair with Arielle the gorgeous wife of a French diplomat. Notably, Yelchin was attached to the project last fall along with Diane Kruger, who was slated to play Arielle. However, the latest press release makes no mention of her, and has Bond Girl Marlohe in this role. Filling out the cast, Wilson will play Arielle's cuckolded husband, Valery. Thirlby is set for the part of Brian's friend and editor, Jane, while Langella and Close will take on the roles of his parents, Sam and Arlene.
5 to 7 will be seeking distribution sales at the Cannes Film Market. It's projected to hit theaters in 2014.

Changes are on the way for Lovett Memorial Library's park, the grassy area adjacent to the library at 6945 Germantown Ave.
Mt. Airy USA, in collaboration with Community Design Collaborative, which places volunteer design professionals to work on projects for community development corporations (CDCs) and other non-profits, unveiled the preliminary conceptual design plans for Lovett Park on Friday evening, July 13, in the park.
The conceptual design includes reconfiguring the approach to the library, a nature play area for children, a plaza with tables and chairs and an amphitheater.
Elizabeth Moselle, director of commercial corridor revitalization for both Mt. Airy USA and the Mt. Airy Business Association, said the goal of the project is to "transform the park into a vibrant community asset" that will enhance the Avenue by connecting the commercial corridor with a pedestrian-friendly park.
"In 2011, Mt. Airy USA began working with the Community Design Collaborative to help develop a vision for what this site could become," Moselle said. "After a series of community meetings that included members of the East and West Mt. Airy Neighbors civic groups, business owners, and area residents, the design team generated a conceptual design plan for the site."
In an earlier interview, Moselle said the design "changes the approach" to the library. The plan calls for removing the wall near the bus stop and adding chess tables and chairs.
"The goal is to enliven that space," Moselle said.
Moselle said the new design would encourage people walking on the Avenue to interact with people in the park.
"Right now, you could miss it, and it's pretty big," she said.
Moselle said the reading garden would encourage people to grab a book and read or just sit outside and enjoy their lunch. Alongside the library there will be a story ring where staff or volunteers can use the space for story time or other programs.
"One of the things that was really important to people was to keep it green, open and natural," Moselle said.
Moselle said the natural play area is a combination of "culture and play."
"It is not designed to be a playground because there is a playground right across the street," she said. "It's designed to be a place for imaginative play. One of the most exciting elements is the amphitheater. I think the design team did a really great job of integrating people's ideas and making it work."
In order to minimize disruptions caused by the amphitheater, Mt. Airy USA is placing the amphitheater in the back. Moselle said Mt. Airy USA plans to show movies there and eventually have concerts in the park.
"It opens us to a whole new realm of programming," she said. "And that's one of the things I think people are unanimously pretty psyched about."
Moselle said Mt. Airy USA has raised all the money for the next phase, which is design and development, and will be hiring a team of landscape architects.
Moselle said the estimated cost of the project is $400,000, but the organization expects costs to be higher.
"So, far we have raised $30,000 in commitments," she said.
Ashton Jones, a certified city planner with Community Design Collaborative, discussed the process and concepts behind the design plan.
Jones said part of his job was to walk the site and figure out "why is it like this?"
"It's sort of in this dead zone," Jones said. "In the planning world, we talk about something called the five-minute walk, which is sort of the realm that people will walk naturally – unless it's a major destination like the train station."
Jones said CDC's goal was to find a way to bring people into the space and interact, pointing out that initially there were two designs – one very structured and other more open and having "free flowing pathways." Residents discussed what they wanted, and eventually those concepts "became molded into one," he said.
The predominant message was that the residents wanted the area to remain a natural and open green space. Jones said among the "gambit of suggestions" was bringing food trucks in the back and installing gazebos or rows of trees.
"People weren't into the idea of permanent structures taking over," he said, noting that the design tries to incorporate the community's vision for the space.
"Unfortunately, there will always be people who are disappointed with any project" Jones said. "It's hard you can't appease everyone."
He said the conceptual design allows Mt. Airy USA to have "a design in hand" so it can say, "Here's our vision, here's our plan – help us to raise the money for it."
He added that the next phase would determine the type of materials, texture, style, lighting and placement of the items.
"The plans are still being tweaked," he said.
And that is exactly what Irv Miller, treasurer for the Friends of Lovett Memorial Library, hopes will happen.
"I came here tonight to see if there were any changes in the plan," Miller said. "We sent a couple of letters to the Free Library because we're not happy with some of the things they want to do – getting rid of the roses and the flower garden."
Miller said the Friends of Lovett Memorial Library have, unfortunately, not had a say in the plans "until we raised a fuss." He said Mt. Airy USA and the designers "argue that the roses are a barrier to people walking on the sidewalk."
Anuj Gupta, executive director of Mt. Airy USA, said his organization wants to revitalize Germantown Avenue by turning the public space into "an asset the community wants to use." Gupta thanked the Free Library of Philadelphia for being "critical partners" in this venture.
"This space is a critical jointure between two segments of a corridor that has a lot of activity," Gupta said.
He said Mt. Airy USA started last year working on ways "to get people into the park."
"It started with the outdoor movie series Moonlight Movies in Mt. Airy, which turned out to be a tremendous success," Gupta said. "Our goal was to come up with a master plan that turns this into a destination park."
Beth Vaccaro, who came with her family to see the plans, said she liked the idea of a destination park.
"I think for a long time I thought you would get in trouble if you came over here," Vaccaro said. "It's kind of isolated. I think it's great. I like all the natural play stuff. I really like the idea of being able to read while the kids are playing. There isn't anything I object to."
Vivian Schatz, a longtime Mt. Airy resident disagreed.
"It's a lovely space," Schatz said. "I don't know why they think they have to change it. If they planted a couple more trees they would be all set. There is a playground right across the street. They don't need this as a playground."
Lynn Ruthrauff, branch manager of Lovett Memorial Library, said in many ways Lovett Memorial Library serves as a community center. She said residents "meet and interact" with one another at the library and that the project will only add to "the multitude of programs" available to patrons.
"Lovett serves a very diverse community, racially, economically and socially – but it works," Ruthrauff said. "It's very collaborative. People co-exist very peacefully. We serve a very intellectually curious community who want their children to succeed. They are greatly invested in enriching their children's education."
Marilyn Cohen, executive director of Mt. Airy Neighbors, praised what she called a "joint venture between the public library, the business community, and the neighborhood organizations."
"West Mt. Airy Neighbors is thrilled to see this kind of collaborative work in the neighborhood," Cohen said. " Everybody I have talked to loves the idea that it's going to be kept as a green space as opposed to becoming a ten-story building. And that it's going to be something that reinforces two goals that are really important to us. One is the education of our children in making another fun way for kids to enjoy reading and further their education. Secondly, it addresses healthcare concerns by allowing kids to enjoy outdoor imaginative play."
Enriching the lives of the community is exactly why Dan Gordon, Ken Weinstein and Elise Rivers are committed to the project. Rivers, who owns Community Acupuncture of Mt. Airy (CAMA) is offering a challenge grant to support the Lovett Park development.
Rivers said she chose to run a business in Mt. Airy because "it's a place where you can really appreciate and enjoy community." She said she was passionate about making the park a reality and that is why she is "going to match dollar-for-dollar any donations that come into the park for a total of $5,000."
"Whatever you give will be doubled and help Mt. Airy USA make this wonderful program happen," Rivers said. "This will continue to be a collaborative process with the Free Library, with the business community, with East and West Mt. Airy Neighbors, with the Friends of the Free Library and everyone else who wants to be involved."
Anyone interested in making a donation as part of the challenge grant can go to www.CAMAcenter.com, or leave a check at Community Acupuncture, 6782 Germantown Ave. (payable to "Mt. Airy USA" and memo "CAMA Challenge"). All donations are tax deductible.

Watch UTEP Hang With Kansas in Battle 4 Atlantis Third-Place Game
Courtesy: UTEP Athletics
PARADISE ISLAND, BAHAMAS – Perry Ellis scored 15 of his 19 points in the second half, as second-ranked Kansas survived another scare and held on for a 67-63 win over UTEP on Saturday in the Battle 4 Atlantis third-place game.
A three-pointer by McKenzie Moore pulled UTEP within nine points (59-50) with 1:22 to play. Following a turnover by Ellis, Justin Crosgile drove for a layup to close the gap to seven (59-52). A jumper by Vince Hunter made the score 59-54 with 38 seconds left. Ellis made two free throws to push the lead to seven (61-54) with a half-minute left, but the Miners wouldn't go away. Crosgile buried a three at the 28-second mark, and it was suddenly a four-point game (61-57).
Again, Ellis answered with two foul shots. Crosgile split two free throws of his own with 23 seconds left, and the Miners trailed 63-58. Following two free throws by the Jayhawks' Frank Mason, Moore's dunk sliced the lead to five (65-60) with 12 ticks on the clock.
Kansas' Naadir Tharpe was fouled and made the second of two free throws. Moore was fouled on a three-point attempt at the other end of the floor, and made all three freebies to make it a one possession game (66-63) with seven seconds to go.
The Miners couldn't force a turnover on the inbound pass, Ellis made a free throw to complete the scoring and Moore missed a running three pointer as time ran out.
"We got beat by a fine team tonight," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "They're going to do a lot of things in the NCAA Tournament this year. We didn't have a lot of time to prepare for them in terms of guarding their great man stuff. They are a very good man-to-man offensive team. We chose to play our triangle because of our lack of preparation time. I thought the biggest reason we were able to hang around in the game was we were able to get back on defense tonight."
The Miners limited the Jayhawks to 39.3 percent shooting, 24 hours after Iowa blitzed them for 89 points in the semifinals.
"We probably gave up a school record in layups last night," Floyd said. "Our guys fought. On the third day of the tournament, you find out a little about your makeup and your guys, and I was real pleased with our effort throughout the night."
Moore scored 11 of his team-leading 15 points in the second half. Crosgile added 14 points and Vince Hunter, in limited duty (10 minutes) due to foul trouble, contributed 10 points and five rebounds.
Wayne Selden Jr. scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half for the Jayhawks. Tharpe scored 11 points and 7-0 freshman Joel Embiid was a major factor inside with nine points, six rebounds and seven blocks. Kansas had 11 rejections as a team.
"Kansas' length got us," Floyd said. "Our inability to make free throws [14-of-24] impacted the game as well. I think we had the same amount of field goals, we hung around there on the boards [41-35] but we shot a poor percentage. We were able to get to the line enough to give ourselves a chance."
The Miners were also victimized by poor starts to both halves. UTEP missed its first six shots of the game and fell behind 15-2 in the opening nine minutes. The Miners started the second half 0-for-9 from the field.
Overall, however, it was an encouraging performance in the Bahamas with a win over a strong SEC squad (Tennessee) and a nail-biting loss to no. 2 Kansas sandwiched around a disappointing effort against the 23rd-ranked Hawkeyes.
"I think [our guys are] going to leave here feeling like they can compete. I really do," Floyd said. "And that's important. That's why we're always going to try to play in these kinds of venues. I think tonight is when we really learned about ourselves, because we really stunk it up last night, as bad as any one of my teams has ever played. I didn't like anything about us. I didn't like our body language, I didn't like us late in the game, and I didn't like our competitive level. And we had a chance to do that again tonight.
"I feel like I gained some trust in who they are. If we had a three or a two go down late and some free throws, it could've been a little different."
The Miners will take a week-long break between games before returning to action with a home game versus Sacramento State on Saturday, Dec. 7 at 7:05 p.m. The UTEP women will tip off the doubleheader against SMU at 4:30 p.m.

WEST POINT, N.Y. -- The top command position at West Point was to be assumed by Lt. Gen. Robert Caslen Jr. during a ceremony on the campus overlooking the Hudson River.
Caslen was set to officially become the 59th superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy on Wednesday morning. He replaces Lt. Gen. David Huntoon Jr., who is retiring from the U.S. Army after 40 years.
Caslen is a 1975 West Point graduate who has commanded at every level from company through division. Most recently, he was the Chief of the Office of Security Cooperation for Iraq. Caslen had previously served as West Point's commandant, a top academy position in charge of day-to-day operations of the cadets.
Huntoon has been superintendent since 2010. The 1973 West Point graduate was involved in Operation Desert Storm and was commandant of the U.S. Army War College.
Huntoon was admonished last year after a Department of Defense inspector general report concluded he misused his position, government resources and personnel. The report said he improperly allowed subordinates to give driving lessons, didn't properly compensate those who worked at a charity dinner and misused his position to obtain cat care.
The report said Huntoon took full responsibility and repaid the affected parties $1,815 based on prevailing labor rates.
Army officials have said Huntoon's retirement is not related to the investigation.
The change in command also comes after a series of negative stories about the 211-year-old military academy whose graduates include Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Douglas MacArthur and George Patton.
An Army sergeant assigned to West Point was charged in May with secretly photographing and videotaping at least a dozen women at the academy, including in a bathroom. And West Point's men's rugby team was temporarily disbanded after cadets forwarded emails that were derogatory to women.

Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Pavlova
This delightful gluten-free chocolate chip Pavlova dessert recipe produces a meringue cake with chocolate chips that is topped with a cocoa-flavored whipped cream and raspberries.
Preparation time: 35 minutes
Cooking time: 2 hours
Yield: 8 servings
7 egg whites
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
Pinch salt
1-1/2 cups organic cane sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon raspberry vinegar
1 teaspoon plus 1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup miniature chocolate chips
1-1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup raspberries
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
On parchment paper, place a 9-inch round cake pan; draw a circle around the pan with a pencil. Turn the paper over and place it on a large cookie sheet.
Place the egg whites in a large bowl and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Then add the cream of tartar and salt.
Beat until foamy, about 3 minutes, and then gradually add the cane sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cornstarch, raspberry vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla, and then fold in the miniature chocolate chips.
Place the meringue inside the circle on the parchment paper; spread to form an even layer.
Run a spatula around the sides of the meringue to make them straight.
Bake for 60 to 65 minutes.
Then turn the oven off, crack open the door, and let the meringue sit for another hour.
Remove the meringue from the oven and slide it, with the parchment paper, onto a cooling rack; cool completely.
Then gently peel the paper off the meringue and place the meringue on a serving plate; cover and store at room temperature.
When ready to serve, in a medium bowl, combine the whipping cream, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat until stiff peaks form. Pile the cream on top of the meringue and top with raspberries.

PORTLAND, Ore. Robots at Cornell University are making copies of themselves without human intervention. In principle, the machines will thus be able to repair and reproduce themselves in space and other remote environments.
"Our self-replicating robots perform very simple tasks compared with intricacies in biological reproduction," said engineer Hod Lipson, a Cornell assistant professor. "But we think they demonstrate that mechanical self-reproduction is possible and not unique to biology." Self-replication is sometimes seen as the holy grail of robotics.
Lipson performed the work with EE Viktor Zykov, doctoral candidate Bryant Adams and graduate student Efstathios Mytilinaios at Cornell.
The goal of the engineers' work is to draw upon biological principles to enable robots to repair themselves as well as assemble "helpers." Such a capability would be especially useful in space, on the ocean floor or inside a "hot" nuclear reactor after a spill.
"Right now it's just a proof of concept, since the only useful function performed is to self-replicate," said Lipson. "But we intend to extend the basic principles so that robots can at least repair themselves in space or other hazardous environments."
To test their ideas, Lipson's team created a modular building block called a "molecube" a mechanized cube filled with gears, magnets and electronics. Each molecube has an identical set of instructions in its microcontroller, which controls electromagnets on the cube's surface. The molecubes use the electromagnets to link themselves together. The robots are built entirely from the molecube subsystems, which are powered by electric rails embedded in their tabletop "environment."
Next, the researchers want to combine their real-world robot with previous simulation results where robots adapted to changing environmental conditions and came up with their own strategies for self-replication. They are also aiming to downsize the robots, which today are about 3 inches cubed. The next generation will likely be less than half that size. Also, Lipson's team hopes to enable future robots to use various means of locomotion, such as inchworming up and down stairs.

GOP Senator Collins says she supports gay marriage
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Republican Sen. Susan Collins on Wednesday announced her support for gay marriage for the first time after getting an endorsement from the nation's largest LGBT advocacy organization in her bid for re-election.
"A number of states, including my home state of Maine, have now legalized same-sex marriage, and I agree with that decision," the Maine Republican said in a statement issued after several news organizations made inquiries.
Collins joins three other GOP senators who have said they support gay marriage: Illinois' Mark Kirk, Alaska's Lisa Murkowski and Ohio's Rob Portman.
She had been criticized for keeping her view to herself until Wednesday. Campaign spokesman Lance Dutson says she's consistently said the decision rests at the state or local level. She has twice voted against proposed constitutional amendments to define marriage as between a man and a woman.
It's the third time Collins won the endorsement of the Human Rights Campaign, which supports lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.
"Senator Susan Collins has played a pivotal role in advancing support for LGBT equality — from her dogged support for the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' to her critical vote for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act last year," said Chad Griffin, the group's president. "HRC is proud to stand with Senator Collins, and with allies on both sides of the aisle like her, because she firmly believes that every American should be evaluated based on their abilities, and not who they love."
Collins, who's seeking a fourth term, is being challenged by Democrat Shenna Bellows, who attacked Collins for being reticent to address the issue, even after state voters approved a referendum in 2012 that legalized same-sex marriage.
Bellows, former executive director of the Maine Civil Liberties Union, campaigned publicly in support of the referendum.
"Remaining silent on some of the biggest civil rights issues of our generation, even after the voters have spoken, isn't leadership, and it isn't how Maine became one of the most inclusive states in the country for LGBT rights," she said.

Filling a notable gap in scholarship on 2 Peter and Jude, Peter Davids artfully unpacks these two neglected but fascinating epistles that deal with the confrontation between the Greco-Roman world and the burgeoning first-century Jesus communities. Davids firmly grasps the overall structure of these oft-maligned epistles and presents a strong case for 2 Peter and Jude as coherent, consistent documents. Marked by exceptional exegesis and sharp, independent judgments, Davids' work both connects with the latest scholarship and transforms scholarly insights into helpful conclusions benefiting Christian believers.
In this well-written and informative commentary on 2 Peter and Jude, Peter Davids helps us read these two fascinating letters in light of their Jewish background. He uses his exegetical skill and knowledge of Judaism to provide satisfying explanations of 'slandering celestial beings' and the many other difficult-to-understand passages. This outstanding commentary is clearly a 'top pick' on these two letters.
—Clinton E. Arnold, Talbot School of Theology, Biola University
A reliable and literate work—knowledgeable without being cluttered, informed without being pedantic. As a traditional commentary, it argues introductory matters well, relies on epistolary and rhetorical insights for structural guides, and is very well informed on Israelite and Greco-Roman background.... Balances the big canvas with smaller cameo scenes.... Should be considered the best of a new wave of commentaries on Jude and 2 Peter.
—Jerome Neyrey, University of Notre Dame
This is an exemplary commentary, marked by the author's mature scholarship, keen theological insights, and deep pastoral concerns. His thorough exegesis, conducted with a singular combination of rhetorical and narrative analysis as well as other usual critical methods, has produced a most reliable exposition of these neglected epistles.
—Seyoon Kim, Fuller Theological Seminary
A careful and painstaking treatment of the least well known of the General Epistles… The reader's curiosity is both stimulated and satisfied by this commentary. It will fill a niche in today's market and be a welcome addition to the libraries of both scholars and pastors. I commend it with enthusiasm.
—Ralph P. Martin, Fuller Theological Seminary
Peter H. Davids is professor of biblical theology at St. Stephen's University, St. Stephen, New Brunswick. He is also the coeditor of Dictionary of the Later New Testament and Its Developments.

rboender necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 56 diseños de 29 diseñadores freelance.
http://www.landfilldeodorizer.com, Fresh Planet Deodorizer
I am a sales manager for Great Lakes Chemical Services, Inc (http://www.glchemical.com). Our company produces chemicals used primarily for automobiles but we are starting to move in other directions such as landfills and asphalt. We have developed a new product called Fresh Planet deodorizer. This product is used to mask the awful smells that come from landfills. The product is 100% environmentally safe and comes in two smells, pine and bubble gum. We are looking for a logo to brand our product. Our product is 50% cheaper then all of our competitors and works even better then theirs. This logo will be used on the labels that are placed on the containers of the product and also used on our website.
Our target audiences are owners of landfills across the world. We would like to focus on owners who are using a competitors product to show how our product is better and cheaper. We are also looking for the landfill owners who think they don't have a smell problem.
We would like a logo that is "fresh" and "economically green". Since the product is called "Fresh Planet" we would like to incorporate something that shows the earth in there. The designers can be creative, I am up for any suggestions. We like the color "green" that we are using on our website (http://www.landfilldeodorizer.com). Also, put some "fresh" blue colors in there. As you can see its very plain. We would like to spruce it up a little bit and add a shade of blue to it that will match our logo. Pretty much you pick the colors and we will edit our site to match it.

Scrapbook More Photos Using a Grid Design
Preserve a vacation's worth of photos using this simple trick: use your photos to frame your scrapbook page. Save room for more photos, as Joey Manwarren did on her layout here, by keeping journaling minimal and letting your photos tell the story. Simply arrange matted or framed photos (to keep them distinct) in chronological order starting at the top left of the page.
Memories by Joey Manwarren.
Using Joey's layout as your guide, you can quickly scrap 25 photos on one two-page layout. This makes it incredibly easy to scrapbook an entire vacation in one evening! While Joey's layout is digital, you can easily translate this idea to a traditional paper scrapbook layout by following our sketch:
Check out the July/August 2011 issue of Creating Keepsakes magazine for even more ways to speed up your scrapbooking using grid-based designs.

Seattle Seahawks
Boling: NFL Regional Combine gives long shots their shot
As 350 or so athletes spent Saturday at the Seahawks' training facility – chasing their dreams in sprints and leaps – it was probably more about aspiration than perspiration.
But, as they all would tell you, long shots sometimes win the race.
Those taking part in the NFL Regional Combine tend to be those whose plans somehow went slightly off track.
They were not invited to the NFL Scouting Combine. Some haven't played in a while. Some got injured in college, some were just late-bloomers.
It makes for an interesting collection, with players from colleges not always known for production of NFL talents. One prospect was a 5-foot-8 linebacker giving it a shot at age 38.
Another was a cornerback who attended The Art Institute of Seattle. What are they, the Fighting Impressionists?
The NFL makes it clear this is not some kind of fantasy camp; it is intended for those with serious intent. And it also cost $250 for the opportunity.
Recognizable names made the list, such as former Seahawks receiver Alex Bannister, now 34. As did a number of former Washington Huskies and players from Eastern Washington and Central Washington.
An eye-catching effort Saturday might earn hopefuls an invitation to the Super Regional Combine on April 12-13 at Ford Field in Detroit.
And surprisingly it often works.
As of Feb. 8, 76 players active on NFL rosters had experience in regional combines. The Seahawks have three such players: defensive end Benson Mayowa, quarterback B.J. Daniels and offensive lineman Caylin Hauptmann.
The Hawks, at the last combine, also noticed and signed Idaho receiver Justin Veltung, from Puyallup High School, but he ended up on the Rams' roster.
So, although it's a bit of a cattle-call audition, guys get seen. And Mayowa is the perfect example.
He came out of Idaho with some modest career numbers. But from the regional combine last spring, he earned an invitation to the rookie minicamp, which got him a shot at training camp. With injuries to Chris Clemons and Cliff Avril opening the way, Mayowa got an opportunity during the exhibition season and led the team with 3.5 sacks.
He landed a spot on the 53-man roster.
That's what the players are shooting for. And for the teams?
Tag Ribary, Seahawks director of team operations, explained how NFL personnel staff can benefit from these endeavors.
"It's an extra look," he said Saturday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. "There's people that maybe have been out of the game a little bit, but they're still keeping in shape and they're still eligible to compete at a certain level whether it's the NFL, CFL, Arena League. And there's all kinds of body types and skill levels at these things."
Inside the cold practice facility, the players went through the same tests and measurements conducted at the featured combine in Indianapolis. They then were taped running through specific "position skills."
The results from the 10 regional combines get registered with the league, where scouts can access numbers that are uniform and reliable.
The Seahawks had already scouted Mayowa and graded his performance while he was at Idaho. But he got noticed at the combine.
"We got that extra look at him," Ribary said. "He ran well, he jumped well. His numbers were really good, and he took it from there."
In the case of Air Force linebacker Alex Means, he has had some more pressing obligations – serving the United States of America. He won't be able to play until 2015 even if the NFL wanted him now.
At 6-foot-5, 240 with impressive agility, Means looked like one of those likely to earn an invitation to the next combine.
A logistics officer, Means has been "deployed" to the Air Force football team, serving as a graduate assistant. He last played in the 2012 season.
"I didn't go to college expecting to go to the NFL," Means said. "I wanted to get a great education and serve my country. The opportunity (to try the NFL) presented itself at the end of my career. The military commitment kind of hinders that a little, but that's what we were in school for anyway."
So it's worth it for the players if they get to keep the T-shirt and shorts with the NFL logo on them. And there's always that chance.
"You never know," Ribary said. "We're always looking for that next guy."

Video purportedly showing shadowy militant leader released
BAGHDAD - A video posted online Saturday appears to show the leader of the Islamic State extremist group that has overrun much of Syria and Iraq delivering a sermon at a mosque in Iraq, in what would be a rare - if not the first - public appearance by the shadowy militant.
The video was released on at least two websites known to be used by the group, but it will take more careful analysis to prove the person shown was indeed the group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. It bore the logo of al-Furqan, the group's media arm. And the face did seem to fit one of the only known photographs of the man, reports CBS News correspondent Charlie D'Agata.
Through brute force and guile, the Islamic State group has seized control of a vast swath of land straddling Syria and Iraq, and has declared the establishment of an Islamic state, or caliphate, in those territories. It proclaimed al-Baghdadi the leader of its state and demanded that all Muslims pledge allegiance to him.
"The mujahedeen have been rewarded victory by God after years of jihad, and they were able to achieve their aim and hurried to announce the caliphate and choose the Imam," he says in the video, referring to the leader.
"It is a burden to accept this responsibility to be in charge of you," he adds. "I am not better than you or more virtuous than you. If you see me on the right path, help me. If you see me on the wrong path, advise me and halt me. And obey me as far as I obey God."
He is dressed in black robes and a black turban, has dark eyes, thick eyebrows and a full black beard. He speaks eloquent classical Arabic, but with little emotion.
The mosque has several dozen men and boys standing for prayer, and a flag of the black Islamic State group is hoisted in the mosque. One man stands guard, with a gun holster under his arm.
At the beginning of the video, the man purported to be al-Baghdadi slowly climbs the pulpit in the great mosque in Iraq's second-largest city of Mosul, which al-Baghdadi's group captured last month. Then the call to prayer is made as he cleans his teeth with a miswak, a special type of stick that devout Muslims use to clean their teeth and freshen their breath.
A senior Iraqi intelligence official said that after an initial analysis the man in the video is believed to indeed be al-Baghdadi. The official said the arrival of a large convoy in Mosul around midday Friday coincided with the blocking of cellular networks in the area. He says the cellular signal returned after the convoy departed.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.
A Mosul resident confirmed that mobile networks were down around the time of Friday prayers, and then returned a few hours later. He spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears for his safety.
Al-Baghdadi was born in Iraq in 1971. In 2005, during the U.S. occupation of Iraq, U.S. soldiers arrested him. But when the American military closed its Camp Bucca prison, al-Baghdadi was handed over to Iraqi security forces, who let him go, reported CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer.
In the five following years, he built a fighting force that joined Syria's civil war and took over hundreds of square miles.
In Syria, al-Baghdadi honed his skills as a commander with violence so extreme that even al Qaeda's leader Ayman al-Zawahiri cut all ties to ISIS.
That was fine with al-Baghdadi, whose organization says he's the new global leader of extremist jihad and even cataloged its accomplishments in, believe it or not, an annual report.
That listed, among other things, 1,083 assassinations and 537 bombs in parked cars
Continuing that advanced media strategy, which has included aggressive use of social media, ISIS on Saturday released a new English-language magazine, Dabiq. The 26-page first edition is somewhat reminiscent of al Qaeda's own English-language publication, Inspire.
Another aspect of the rule al-Baghdadi envisions was made clear in a series of images that emerged online late Saturday showing the destruction of at least 10 ancient shrines and Shiite mosques in territory his group controls.
The 21 photographs posted on a website that frequently carries official statements from the Islamic State extremist group document the destruction in Mosul and the town of Tal Afar. Some of the photos show bulldozers plowing through walls, while others show explosives demolishing the buildings in a cloud of smoke and rubble.
Showing such ruthless destruction is part of the media campaign designed to show the group is unstoppable, reports D'Agata.
Residents from both Mosul and Tal Afar confirmed the destruction of the sites.
Sunni extremists consider Shiites Muslims heretics, and the veneration of saints apostasy.
The Islamic State group seized Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city, in June in the opening act of its lightning offensive that sent much of the Iraqi army scattering. Shiite militiamen and volunteers have had to fill the void as the regular army struggles to regroup.
On Saturday, Iraqi Prime Minister Nour al-Maliki removed the chief of the army's ground forces and the head of the federal police from their posts as part of his promised shakeup in the security forces following their near collapse.
Military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi says Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki signed the papers to retire Lt. Gen. Ali Ghaidan, commander of the army's ground forces, and Lt. Gen. Mohsen al-Kaabi, the chief of the federal police. Al-Moussawi says both men leave their jobs with their pensions. No replacements have been named.
Last month, al-Maliki retired three generals who had been deployed in Mosul and ordered legal proceedings against them. He also dismissed a brigadier general and ordered his court martial in absentia. He said he planned to retire off or court martial more senior officers, but gave no details.
Al-Maliki has also vowed to bring the full weight of military law, including the execution of deserters, on anyone who is found out to have fled the battle.

A quick trip to google maps shows how little we've actually fenced
Whats sad about it? You think we should live s**tty primitive lives instead? By all means go live in a cave or swing from a tree with some monkeys. The rest of us will keep on trucking.
Sadly this is true….
Bad history of mankind!
Agree that mankind sometimes goes too far, but no where near that extreme.
Conor, we'll live by your mentality. But once hell is really in a hand-basket, you better have some f****** answers.
I think you didn't get the point Connor.

Easylunchboxes: total creepfest
In the big section:
- cereal bar
- monster finger (garlic breadstick!)
- jello in a spider shaped silicone cup (with icing eyes and apple fangs)
Smaller sections:
- squishy dragon eyes (raspberries!)
- eye of Cyclops (icky gummy candy!)
- deli rolls on spider picks
- spider web shaped cheese
The "monster finger" breadstick was made by just shaping and cutting notches in the dough prior to baking. The gnarly finger nail is a small piece of fruit leather. :)
Grape jello was set in the silicone cup and garnished with the eyes and fangs. The icing eyes sort of melted a little over time as they absorbed the moisture from the jello... which made them look REALLY creepy by the time Ethan ate his lunch. LOL
This spooktacular lunch is packed in an EasyLunchboxes container. Time is ticking on the free cooler bag deal! ;-)

February 5, 2011 at 1442 GMT the GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) received a 911/SOS alert from a SPOT device. The unit was activated by two individuals that had witnessed an accident while out on snowmobiles. IERCC personnel contacted local emergency services and informed them of the activation. Local emergency services stated that they had just received a report regarding the incident and had emergency personnel in route to the general area. The IERCC provided the latitude and longitude aiding emergency services in pinpointing the exact location of the incident.
June 30, 2009 – The SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger™ successfully notified emergency rescue authorities of an elderly man with chest pains on the remote Alaska Highway of British Columbia. With no phone service, Gary Sleeper used his SPOT Messenger to alert the Emergency Response Center that he was in an emergency situation and needed assistance.
In May, Mr. Sleeper was driving with his parents from Texas to Anchorage, Alaska, up the Alaska Highway. Knowing he would be out of cell phone coverage for long periods of time, he brought his along his SPOT Messenger.
About 100 miles outside Fort Nelson, Canada, his father told him that he was having chest pains and needed medical assistance. The individual used his SPOT Messenger to send out a 911 message. With an urgent need to get his father medical assistance at the nearest hospital, he started driving back to Fort Nelson.
On June 30, 2008 during a summer backpacking trip in California's Kings Canyon National Park, 52 year old George from Palo Alto, found himself suffering from acute abdominal pains on day ten of the two hundred and twenty three mile hike along the John Muir Wilderness Trail while setting up camp at 7:30 pm. Hours later, at approximately after 11:00 pm, George's pain worsened which led him to end his trek early, and initiate an emergency alert with his SPOT Satellite Messenger.
On September 11, 2009, expert outdoorsman Rick Stephens was airlifted from the Coast Mountain Range of Northern British Columbia after sending his GPS location coordinates using his SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker following a serious accident.
On September 11, 2009, Stephens and his hunting partner Trent Bossence were 7 days into a 12 day hunting trip, 55 miles from the closest town of Dease Lake and four miles from their base camp, when his hunting knife slipped and badly cut his leg just below the knee, severing a tendon.
