Paratransit is an alternative mode of flexible passenger transportation that does not follow fixed routes or schedules. Typically vans or mini-buses are used to provide paratransit service, but also share taxis and jitneys are important providers. Paratransit services may vary considerably on the degree of flexibility they provide their customers. At their simplest they may consist of a taxi or small bus that will run along a more or less defined route and then stop to pick up or discharge passengers on request. At the other end of the spectrum -- fully demand responsive transport -- the most flexible paratransit systems offer on-demand call-up door-to-door service from any origin to any destination in a service area. Paratransit services are operated by public transit agencies, community groups or not-for-profit corporations, and for-profit private companies or operators.
Over the last three decades the word 'paratransit' has migrated and taken on two somewhat separate broad sets of meaning and application.
The first is the more general meaning as set out above, and which was extensively documented and demonstrated in projects starting in the early seventies with the publication by the Urban Institute of the 1974 book [Para-transit: Neglected options for urban mobility], ISBN 0-87766-121-9, followed one year later by the first international overview, [Paratransit: Survey of International Experience and Prospects], Eric Britton et al. EcoPlan International. U.S. Dept. of Transportation, Urban Mass Transportation Administration, 1975. These are still extremely important in many parts of the world.
By the early eighties and in particular in North America, the term began to be used increasingly to describe the second meaning, special transport services for people with disabilities, and in this respect has become a sub-sector and business in its own right.
Before passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), paratransit was provided by not-for-profit human service agencies and public transit agencies in response to the requirements of the US Rehabilitation Act of 1972. Under the requirements of this Act, public transit entities in the United States were required to either make their fixed route public buses accessible to passengers with disabilities or to provide paratransit services for passengers with disabilities to destinations in their public transit service areas. Most transit agencies did not see fixed route accessibility as desirable and opted for the formation of parallel paratransit systems operating alongside bus systems. The expectation was that these services would be less expensive than fixed route accessibility and that they would not be highly used. Of the 10 largest transit providers in the US, only New Jersey Transit opted not to provide paratransit and instead made its public bus system accessible through the use of wheelchair lifts installed on buses. With the passage of the ADA, all US trasit providers are now required to provide "complimantary" paratransit to to destinations within 3/4 mile of all fixed routes and are also required to make all fixed route services accessible to passengers with disabilities through the purchase of accessible buses. The ADA requires that all new transit buses be accessible to people using wheelchairs (by lift or ramp) and have at least two spaces to secure wheelchairs in each bus. The ADA, as a US Civil Rights law, established these requirements which were applicable to all providers of public transportation services, regardless of how those services are funded or managed. Under the ADA, complementary paratransit service is required for passengers who are 1) Unable to navigate the public bus system, 2) are unable to get to a point from which they could access the public bus system, or 3) have a temporary need for these services because of injury or some type of limited duration cause of disability. The ADA spells out these eligibility rules in extraordinary detail, along with other requirements governing how the service is to be provided and managed. In the United States, ADA paratransit is now highly regulated and very closely monitored. Since the passage of the ADA, paratransit has been the fastest growing mode of public transit in the US.
After the implementation of the ADA in 1992, transit systems in the US were required to plan and implement ADA compliant services which had to be fully implemented by 1997. During this period, paratransit demand and services rapidly expanded and continue to expand to this day. This growth has led to a myriad of new approaches to manage and provide these services. Computerized reservation, scheduling and dispatching for paratransit have also evolved substantially and are now arguably among the most sophisticated management systems available in the world of rubber tire transit (non-rail public transit).
Following the implementation of ADA paratransit service, there is growing interest in service strategies that offer effective and efficient flexible services that can take the place of paratransit. Transit operators increasingly need to serve markets for which conventional fixed route bus and rail modes are too expensive, inefficient, or inflexible. Many operators are finding that flexible services have an important role to play in serving low-density areas, dispersed trip patterns, and travel by seniors and people with disabilities. However, the expense of serving geographically dispersed areas means that paratransit is often unable to meet the travel demand of persons unable to drive, leading many paratransit providers to require pickup appointments weeks in advance.
Most vehicles used in this form of paratransit today are specially equipped with wheelchair lifts or ramps to facilitate access. This service allows many people with disabilities to have jobs by providing transportation to and from their workplaces.
As the problems of transport and the environment in and around cities mount, and the old systems such as private cars and traditional public transport are starting to show their limits, the potential for more flexible small vehicle systems of many types is just starting to emerge.
Since (non-medical) paratransit systems in much of the world are often operated by individuals and small business who turn out to be much harder to control that traditional public transport operators, there is often a fair amount of tension between the operators and the public sector authorities. In the past, and in many of the developing countries today, there has been a trend to try to ban paratransit operators (on the grounds of combinations of poor vehicle maintenance, various forms of illegality, unsafe driving, practices that undercut the public carriers). More often than not however the paratransit operators win out since they offer a source not only of much needed services but also jobs and other forms of support for the local economy. But this battle continues to this day.
A movement to provide a more future oriented view of this class of services under the name xTransit has recently gotten underway which describes itself as follows. "xTransit: Getting people in and around cities in road vehicles, smaller than full sized buses, driven by real human beings, dynamically shared with others, and aided by state of the art communications technologies -- and all of that as no less than the only way to offer "car like" mobility in most of our 21st century cities without killing the cities themselves (the old mobility way)."
Flexible services are represented by a wide variety of innovative services now in use increasingly in North America and Europe. Intelligent transportation systems technologies, primarily GPS, mobile data terminals, digital mobile radios and cell phones, and scheduling, dispatching and call reservation software (such as Ecolane DRT, Trapeze PASS, CTS Software and NaviTrans), are used to help implement flexible services and to improve the operations of paratransit services of all kinds. It would seem clear that the key interface between these small vehicle services and their customers in the future is likely to be the mobile phone.

How often do you text a girl?
Guys when you are getting to know a girl you like and you've already told each other that you care a lot about each other but aren't dating... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Hmmm....I only call if I have to, and text if I have to. Sometimes that's once or more a day, sometimes a couple of days go without text. About telling that you care for each other..well, my mentality on that is that actions speak louder than words. If I have to go to a girl and tell her that I care for her, then seriously, I need to find another girl....
About calls---well, I'm a very busy, and independent person. I don' t have the time to be on the phone talking nonsense. If we are not dating yet, maybe once every other day..but it really depends on the chemistry. However, I can tell you that I don't like it when girls call me twice a day, specially when they call and say, 'oh, I was just calling to see what you were up to...' Then again, I'm not the clingy type of guy, so yea, I'm one of the few ones out there that don't like phone calls too much...plus cell phones are bad for your brain! :DDD
Good 'ole brain tumors..
What Guys Said 5
I found that women are the ones who actually like 'hard to get', not men. In all reality the only guys who play cat and mouse are the ones who've figured out that women do this to us because they like it to be done to them. Admit the fact that you get excited and anticipate talking to a guy only if he comes across as mildly disinterested. Granted, the best guys usually ARE really busy, and are unable to talk every other day, but this is usually because they have found that it works better than laying your heart on the line. And I've also found that women who call every now and then 'just because I was thinking about you' are really just doing what they would like done to them, they seem to be the type to like the attention. So to answer, you should be talking to each other at most once a day, and at least once a week. Good luck with this one and good question, Kyle
Good answer.

evidence to the policy maker, and thus the evidence-based approach places a premium on improving policy-relevant research, often through the use of RCFTs.
In the settings in which they are carried out, RCFTs provide a strong, if not the strongest, form of scientific evidence of cause and effect. Circumstances may permit such experiments in a desired setting, such as when scarce resources are allocated by lottery, for example with admission to magnet schools or charter schools or the allocation of health care resources. An example of the latter is the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment in which names were drawn by lottery for the state's Medicaid program for low-income, uninsured adults (Finkelstein et al., 2012).
Even when RCFTs are conducted in one setting, inference from them may be applied to other settings or contexts with concurrent collection of information on other variables or factors that differ in different settings and that may influence the results. So-called substitutes for randomized trials, however, such as "natural" experiments and "quasi-experiments," as Sims (2010) argues, are not actually experiments. They are often invoked as a way to avoid confronting "the complexities and ambiguities that inevitably arise in nonexperimental inference." For these situations and even in conjunction with randomized experiments, there are nonexperimental methods of drawing causal inferences and model-based methods for adjusting experimental results for inherent biases. Appendix A provides a review of some of these research methods and sets them in the context of the varied statistical methods for research and evaluation.
The active debate regarding the appropriate methodology for a given research question promotes attention in the policy community to the desirability of producing the best possible evidence under a given set of circumstances, especially the strongest evidence that bears on policy implementation and policy consequences. Bringing attention to the importance of strong evidence in policy making advances the goal of using science even though the specific formulation of an evidence-based policy approach offers little insight into the conditions that bring about its use.
Despite their considerable value in other respects, studies of knowledge utilization have not advanced understanding of the use of evidence in the policy process much beyond the decades-old National Research Council (1978) report. The family of suggestive concepts, typologies, and frame-

SABnzbd Review
Sabnzbd is an excellent Usenet newsreader specifically designed for downloading binary content and is integrated or rather can be integrated with Newzbin
Sabnzbd is free and also they are constantly upgrading their software.
Usenet Search
Sabnzbd does not offer their own search however you can use a wide range of public search engines such as NewsLeech, Beta.binaries, Yabse, etc and connect RSS feeds to Sabnzbd to automate download on Usenet
NZB Support
Sabnzbd supports NZB file downloads
Platform Information
Sabnzbd works on Window, Mac and Linux as it is web based(it runs on your local computer)
Sabnzbd is an excellent Usenet Newsreader. Especially if you are Mac user.
More Details
Sabnzbd is a newsreader program that has a web-based user interface and downloads binaries. It has been written in Python and takes a little bit of getting used to, but do not let that discourage you. This is a newsreader program only. It is not a Usenet access provider or a nzb search function, so you will need to have alternatives for those. Before we go into the functions of Sabnzbd, we will do a brief summary for those who are a little unfamiliar with the Usenet.
Usenet is much underused and many people get a little nervous around it and through lack of information they miss out on an amazing information tool. The Usenet has been around for years, and actually appeared about ten years before the internet! Usenet allows people to share information and files through a network of serves forming the net. The information, or news, is passed through all the servers and not stored in one singular location. You can access the Usenet through a premium provider. They are really the best option as your ISP will only have limited access, if any at all. You will still need an ISP in order to access the Usenet. Once you have access to the Usenet, you can use a special search engine to find the topics groups that you like.
A newsreader is a software program that will read all the articles on the Usenet and present them to the user. So the question is what does Sabnzbd offers to its users? Well, one huge plus point is that this program is completely free! You can download and install the program at no cost what so ever. Once you have the program installed, it will pick up the nzb files that you want and put them into a special folder. It has a par2 repair and unpack facility. You will receive an email when your allocated job is completed. It is compatible with most sites and software, and can pick up and process rss feeds.
Another HUGE advantage of this program is its compatibility with Mac and Linux. It works with both of these operating systems. It can be difficult for Mac and Linux users to find software that works with their chosen platform, but Sabnzbd works without a problem. The one downside to this program is that it can be a bit tricky to install and set up. This is no doubt due to it being free, so that they have never had the time or inclination to develop a novice level installation version. If you can get some help with the installation, you will find this an extremely valuable addition to your software collection, as it's free you cannot really go wrong!

Seattle Seahawks Blue Pride Season Ticket Waiting List
Every Seattle Seahawks game since 2003 at Qwest Field has been played before a sellout crowd, a streak of 60 consecutive games. The Seattle Seahawks Blue Pride Season Ticket Waiting List was created in June 2006, when the franchise cut off Seahawks season ticket sales at 61,000. According to a recent article in the Seattle Times, the Blue Pride Season Ticket Waiting List contains 10,000 fans. I anticipate a wait time of at least five years to go through the Seahawks Season Ticket Waiting List with the current renewal rate, that is if you join Blue Pride today. The Season Ticket Waiting List Directory reported the Blue Pride waiting list numbered 13,000 fans in 2008, an understandable decline of 3,000 considering our current economic state. But, with the hiring of Pete Carroll and an energized fan base, the Seahawks Season Ticket Waiting List should resume growing again in the near future.
View our Inventory of Seattle Seahawks Season Tickets.
The Blue Pride Season Ticket Waiting List does have some decent benefits in 2010:Join Blue Pride to secure the opportunity to buy Seahawks season tickets when they become available. A $100 per seat deposit is required at the time of sign up. All money collected will be credited towards your first year Seahawks season ticket purchase.
-Priority date established to purchase Seattle Seahawks Season Tickets

-An entry into a random drawing to purchase two Seahawks season tickets
-Entry into drawing to purchase two single home game tickets

Great flavours at a ridiculously low price! Excellent.

Went for dinner last night and had a wonderful meal. Had the fried cheese (delicious) and the romaine salad with yogurt dressing to start. Followed by roasted bass with risotto. The other members of my party had steak which they enjoyed. The waiter was very nice and the atmosphere was great.

The restaurant was pretty empty unlike others in the area. OK the atmosphere looked. We had some seafood dishes. They were total disaster. One smelled like refrigerator like it sat in the refrigerator for days and another tasted literally yuck. The seafood was gone bad. I have never had that in any Greek restaurant. They were not only unfresh but inedible. And I could understand why the restaurant was empty. They need to take their business seriously.

I was not in any way blown away by the food and it was expensive enough that I felt a bit ripped off afterwards. We had fish which was a bit dry and a few other equally unmemorable items including their dips with pita. I doubt we'll ever go back.

Went there last night and had a great surprise. Food was really good, the Fava and eggplant Spreads were amazing. We tried the whole Branzino fish that was superb. The place itself has great atmosphere and service, so what more can one ask for? Will come back for sure.

We went here last night and the food was really excellent. We had the yogurt spread, romaine salad, and the dorado with hand cut fries and orzo sides. Everything was delicious and fish was really fresh. Service was great, food came in a timely fashion and the staff was very nice. Plus, they gave us a complementary dessert-- baklava and yogurt w/ honey. I would absolutely return again. Wonderful experience.

Checked it out before a movie at BAM which is a few short blocks away. Got there at 7:00 -- it was empty -- a little concerned -- packed by the time we left at 8:30. Two of us (vegetarians) made meals of appetizers and side dishes as there aren't any vegetarian entrees on the menu (there should be -- how about some vegetarian mousaka or a spinach pie?) -- but they were delicious -- I'm told the fish dishes that other members of our party had were quite good. Prix fixe meal at $25 looks like an excellent value. They comped us with some baklava and yogurt (delicious) at the end of the meal.

Nancy Katherine Lindley was born August 18, 1924 in Louisville, Kentucky; the youngest of five children and the only daughter of Richard Bass and Erma Lou Hopper Penick.  The family moved to Macon, Mississippi while Nancy was still in grade school, where her father found work as a carpenter.
While still in high school, she met Charles E. Lindley, a native of the Noxubee County community of Shuqualak, near Macon.  At 18, Nancy was crowned Miss Macon; obviously, the prettiest girl in the county, as Charles was well aware, and romance blossomed.  Charles was attending Mississippi State A & M (now Mississippi State University) until the outbreak of WWII.  Instead of remaining in school to complete his degree in Animal Husbandry, he joined the United States Army Air Corp where he flew P-47 Thunderbolt fighters in combat over Europe.  When the war concluded, he returned to Mississippi State to complete his degree and the two were married in 1946.
They soon moved to Pullman, Washington and Washington State University where Charles completed his Master's degree and Nancy received her Bachelor's degree in Horticulture.  They subsequently returned to Mississippi State, where Charles became the interim Head of the Animal Husbandry department.  In 1954, they moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma where Charles began work on his Doctorate degree at Oklahoma State University.  Their first child, Charles E., Jr. was born there in 1956.  Later that year, they returned to Mississippi where Charles resumed his duties as Head of the Animal  Husbandry department.  In 1970, Charles became the Dean of the College of Agriculture and Home Economics at MSU where he remained until his retirement in 1990.  When her children became older, Nancy became employed at the Mathematics department at Mississippi State.  In 1962, their second son, William Penick Lindley, was born, and in 1965, they built a home in Starkville where Nancy lived until 2011 when she moved to Carrollton, Georgia to be near her two adult sons.
Nancy is survived  by her two sons, and four grand children. William (Bill) lives in the Johns Creek community, just north of Atlanta with his wife, Dede.  They have two children, Wes, 26, and Hailey, who is 21.  Wes works in Atlanta as an account manager with American Express, and Hailey is a junior at the University of Georgia.  Charles, Jr. (Charlie) lives in Carrollton Ga. with his wife, Donna.  They also have two children, Katie, 22, works in New York City in the publishing business, and Madison, 19, is a freshman at UGA.
Visiatation for Nancy will be held Friday, May 9, 2014 from 12-2 p.m. at First United Methodist Church in Starkville, MS with the funeral service immediately following at 2 conducted by Rev. Prentiss Gordon and Rev. David Shumaker.  Burial will follow in Memorial Garden Park.
In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Lindley Lecture Series, Mississippi State College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, PO Box 6149 Mississippi State MS, 39762.

Olivia Munn on 'Star Wars 7' and J.J. Abrams: 'It's best to know your place'Add to Favorites | The Newsroom
"The Newsroom's" Olivia Munn has had "Star Wars" fans hot and bothered since appearing as Slave Leia for a sketch on G4's "Attack of the Show," which she co-hosted from 2006 to 2010. Now she has the Twitterverse buzzing after expressing more than a casual interest in working on "Star Wars: Episode VII."
"I'd do anything on Star Wars, even craft service," Olivia writes during a tweet-based interview with Vanity Fair. So when Zap2it chatted with Munn at Paleyfest 2013, we just had to know -- amidst all the buzz, has Olivia heard from the next "Star Wars" director, J.J. Abrams?
"Oh, no," Munn says. "I don't think that's even in my realm of possibility, in my head." So, will she reach out to J.J. then? "No, no, no, no, no," says Olivia. "That's a whole different level. I think it's best to just kind of know your place, and know maybe one day, if I was in a place to be able to just call up J.J. Abrams ... but, no, I'm not there."
With regard to her role as hot economics nerd Sloan on "The Newsroom," Munn says the Season 1 episode where she breaks into fluent Japanese may be the last time we see any of her secret skills. "I don't have very many hidden talents," Olivia explains. "I've got Japanese and beat boxing, and maybe that's it."
Well, one can always hope Aaron Sorkin makes room for a 90s rap flashback scene in "The Newsroom" Season 2. In the meantime, for a glimpse into Olivia as a "Star Wars" character, check out her Slave Leia video below.

Incredible 3D Fish Paintings
Posted on January 12, 2012 by saya
Can you figure out whether these fish are true or fake, if without a closer observation (in fact I don't think observation can work to tell us the truth this time…)? Really good work, these fish are actually three-dimensional paintings created by Japanese artist Riusuke Fukahori. Each piece consists of multiple transparent layers, with realistic fish painted on them after each layer of liquid resin becomes solid. Rightly by repeating that process, the artist could finally bring us so incredible 3D paintings.
Designer: Riusuke Fukahori

My great-Grandfather William Lafayette Yates and his brother Thomas Eli Yates served in the 40th Regiment-Company G,Mississippi Infantry of The Confederate Army.
My Great-Grandfather William F. Yates told my Grandfather Robert Darling Yates, stories about the perils of the Civil War.How they had to lay in the narrow trenches,pits and holes with not enough room to extend their arms.It would be very hot during the day and cold at night. being under constant fire and being necessarily on the alert. Fed on reduced rations of the poorest kind of food.My Great-Grandfather said at times they had to eat rats and horse meat to keep from starving to death.
On the 4th of July 1863,Lt. Gen.John C. Pemberton surrendered after prolonged siege operations.
In a offical report by Maj. Gen.John H. Forney he wrote,The siege of Vicksburg was a contest which tried more endurance and resolution of the men and their company and regimental commanders than the skill of their generals.
My men during their seige did their duty and their whole duty to the entire satisfaction of their general.
The patience with which my troops submitted to the privations and hardships to which they were subjected,and the unabated courage and cheefulness which they sustained throughout, are worthy of all praise,and merited a better fortune.

I have a satay stir-fry recipe that I would like to try dehydrating. Being a satay, the sauce consists mainly of peanut butter, coconut milk and a little more oil. Is this suitable for dehydrating or will it spoil to quickly.Thanks,Graham
You probably want your recipe, but if you were open to store bought you can get satay packets in most Asian grocers. This could eliminate the spoilage issue. Some packets are dry, but most are a paste in a foil pack. The often come in paper envelopes, but have the foil pack inside.For your own recipe you could consider packing the ingredients separate then mix at cook time. Oils and some foods can spoil fast. I would be a little concerned if you wanted it to keep a while and room or warm temps even with a high salt content.Others might disagree. I like the packets from the Asian store. Nothing like some Tom Ka soup on the trail. Spicy!
Dry Satay mix, coconut cream powder and PB if you like that for the touch.I have a number of satay mixes out there - look for Thai or Indonesia ones for being a powder. Either way, they have a great shelf life even if a paste.The issue with drying the prepared meal is the high fat content of coconut milk - very fatty.
I have made a pretty good satay sauce on the trail - I add in red pepper flakes, garlic and lower sodium soy sauce (I don't buy the dry mix in this version) and add that to peanut butter. Toss that with pasta and good!
I was a bit worried about organic, no-preservative PB + coconut milk... You're probably right that I'm better off with a mix. I just quite like the one I make at home ;)Thanks.
Graham, If you can post the recipe here or email it to me (you can link to my site through my profile and email me from the site) then I can do some testing and modify it into a trail worthy recipe for you if you like. Cooking is my specialty and I make an African Chicken and Groundnut Stew that requires PB and it works great on the trail.
Edited by Laurie_Ann on 07/28/2008 19:37:02 MDT.
It rates as a quick and easy meal... not a whole lot of protein in it.3 T crunchy (just peanuts/organic) peanut butter3 T sweet chili sauce100 mL/3.5 oz thick coconut milk100 mL/3.5 oz vegetable stock2 T soy saucesmall package of egg noodles (I prefer thicker noodles)2 T sesame oil5 cm/2 in piece fresh ginger150 g/5.5 oz broccoli florets1 small red pepper, seeded and cut into strips75 g/2.75 oz baby corn (canned) or frozen corn kernels50 g/2 oz suger-snap peas/mangetout, trimmed3 cloves garlicsmall handful of basil leaves25 g/1 oz roasted cashews, roughly choppedNoodles:Boil water and cook to package instructions.Sauce:Mix peanut butter, chili sauce, coconut milk, stock and soy sauceVeggies:Heat the sesame oil in a wok or large pan and stir-fry ginger, broccoli, red pepper and cook for 3 min on high. Add the baby corn, mangetout and garlic and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Pour the satay sauce into the wok, add cooked noodles and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Add basil leaves and nuts.
Graham,The sweet chili sauce, sesame oil and soy sauce can be carried for a long time with no issues. None of that needs to be refrigrated. Get a packet or tub of PB to carry and coconut cream powder. Use low sodium bouillon powder for the stock.You could do it on the trail - yes, it would require a real pan and fuel but it would be fun. A GSI wok would work well :-)
Graham... I'd be apt to pre-cook some of the dish and then rehydrate and add the oils. Let me play with it for a week. I need to make the regular recipe first and then replicate it for the trail. When I am done you shouldn't have to do more than rehydrate and reheat... with the option of cooking the noodles at camp if you don't want to precook them (I prefer to cook them at camp anyway as they have better texture).

CHARLESTON, S.C. – Former Head Baseball Coach and Citadel Hall of Fame Honorary Inductee Chal Port passed away early Saturday morning after a prolonged illness.
Port compiled an overall record of 641-386-2 (.624) in 27 seasons (1965-91) and remains the winningest coach in the school's history in any sport. An honorary inductee in The Citadel Hall of Fame in 1996, Port led The Citadel to five postseason NCAA Regional Tournaments while posting a winning record in 24 of his 27 seasons. His 1990 team advanced to the College World Series in Omaha with a school-record 46 victories. That squad was the first and still only military school ever to reach the College World Series.

A Power Efficient Exaflop Computer Design for Global Cloud System Resolving Climate Models.
Exascale computers would allow routine ensemble modeling of the global climate system at the cloud system resolving scale. Power and cost requirements of traditional architecture systems are likely to delay such capability for many years. We present an alternative route to the exascale using embedded processor technology to design a system optimized for ultra high resolution climate modeling. These power efficient processors, used in consumer electronic devices such as mobile phones, portable music players, cameras, etc., can be tailored to the specific needs of scientific computing. We project that a system capable of integrating a kilometer scale climate model a thousand times faster than real time could be designed and built in a five year time scale for US$75M with a power consumption of 3MW. This is cheaper, more power efficient and sooner than any other existing technology.
GPU Particle Tracking and MHD Simulations with Greatly Enhanced Computational Speed
GPUs are intrinsically highly parallelized systems that provide more than an order of magnitude computing speed over a CPU based systems, for less cost than a high end-workstation. Recent advancements in GPU technologies allow for full IEEE float specifications with performance up to several hundred GFLOPs per GPU, and new software architectures have recently become available to ease the transition from graphics based to scientific applications. This allows for a cheap alternative to standard supercomputing methods and should increase the time to discovery. 3-D particle tracking and MHD codes have been developed using NVIDIA's CUDA and have demonstrated speed up of nearly a factor of 20 over equivalent CPU versions of the codes. Such a speed up enables new applications to develop, including real time running of radiation belt simulations and real time running of global magnetospheric simulations, both of which could provide important space weather prediction tools.
Performance Evaluation of Emerging High Performance Computing Technologies using WRF
The Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) has evaluated multicore
processors and other emerging processor technologies for a variety of
high performance computing applications in the earth and space
sciences, especially climate and weather applications. A flagship
effort has been to assess dual core processor nodes on ARSC's Midnight
supercomputer, in which two-socket systems were compared to
eight-socket systems. Midnight is utilized for ARSC's twice-daily
weather research and forecasting (WRF) model runs, available at
Among other findings on Midnight, it was found that the Hypertransport
system for interconnecting Opteron processors, memory, and other
subsystems does not scale as well on eight-socket (sixteen processor)
systems as well as two-socket (four processor) systems. A fundamental
limitation is the cache snooping operation performed whenever a
computational thread accesses main memory. This increases memory
latency as the number of processor sockets increases. This is
particularly noticeable on applications such as WRF that are primarily
CPU-bound, versus applications that are bound by input/output or
The new Cray XT5 supercomputer at ARSC features quad core processors,
and will host a variety of scaling experiments for WRF, CCSM4, and
other models. Early results will be presented, including a series of
WRF runs for Alaska with grid resolutions under 2km. ARSC will
discuss a set of standardized test cases for the Alaska domain,
similar to existing test cases for CONUS. These test cases will
provide different configuration sizes and resolutions, suitable for
single processors up to thousands.
Beyond multi-core Opteron-based supercomputers, ARSC has examined WRF
and other applications on additional emerging technologies. One such
technology is the graphics processing unit, or GPU. The 9800-series
nVidia GPU was evaluated with the cuBLAS software library. While
in-socket GPUs might be forthcoming in the future, current generations
of GPUs lack a sufficient balance of computational resources to
replace the general-purpose microprocessor found in most traditional
supercomputer architectures.
ARSC has also worked with the Cell Broadband Engine in a small
Playstation3 cluster, as well as a 24-processor system based on IBM's
QS22 blades. The QS22 system, called Quasar, features the PowerXCell
8i processor found in the RoadRunner system, along with an InfiniBand
network and high performance storage. Quasar overcomes the
limitations of the small memory and relatively slow network of the PS3
systems. The presentation will include system-level benchmarks on
Quasar, as well as evaluation of the WRF test cases.
Another technology evaluation focused on Sun's UltraSPARC T2+
processor, which ARSC evaluated in a two-way system. Each T2+
provides eight processor cores, each of which provides eight threads,
for a total of 128 threads in a single system. WRF scalability was
good up to the number of cores, but multiple threads per core did not
scale as well.
Throughout the discussion, practical findings from ARSC will be
summarized. While multicore general-purpose microprocessors are
anticipated to remain important for large computers running earth and
space science applications, the role of other potentially disruptive
technologies is less certain. Limitations of current and future
technologies will be discussed.
Computing the Delta-Eddington Approximation for Solar Radiation With Hardware Accelerators: Performance and Programmability on GPUs, FPGAs, and Microprocessors.
The raddedmx routine is a computationally expensive portion of the short-wave radiation calculations in the NCAR Community Climate System Model (CCSM). The routine calculates the Delta-Eddington Approximation on columns of independent data, and executes a high number of floating point operations per byte of data accessed, making it a good candidate for hardware acceleration. We compare several implementation strategies for the raddedmx computation on two hardware acceleration platforms, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and analyze the computational speedups that can be realized in addition to programmability and the software engineering effort required on the different platforms. Implementations are found that are able to realize computational speedups in excess of 400x, and overall speedups in excess of 30x including data transfer overhead, versus the microprocessor of the host system. We discuss limitations of the various platforms and implementations, additional features that could improve performance, and the possibility of extending the work to accelerate other portions of the CCSM.
Acceleration of Data Analysis Applications using GPUs
The vast amount of data collected by present and future scientific instruments, sensors and numerical models requires a significant increase in computing power for analysis. In many cases, processing time on a single workstation becomes impractical. While clusters of commodity processors can be utilized to accelerate some of these tasks, the relatively high software development cost, as well as acquisition and operational costs, make them less attractive for broad use. Over the past few years, another class of architectures has gained some popularity, namely heterogeneous architectures, which consist of general purpose processors connected to specialized processors. One of the most prominent examples are Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), which offer a tremendous amount of floating-point processing power due to demand for high-quality graphics in the computer game market. However, in order to harness this processing power, software developers have to develop with a detailed understanding of the underlying hardware. This burden on the developer is often hardly justifiable considering the rapid evolution of the hardware. In this talk, we will introduce GPULib, an open source library that enables scientists to accelerate their data analysis tasks using the GPUs already installed in their system from within high-level languages like IDL or MATLAB, and present examples and possible speedup from real-world data analysis applications. This work is funded through NASA Phase II SBIR Grant NNG06CA13C.
Experiences modeling ocean circulation problems on a 30 node commodity cluster with 3840 GPU processor cores.
Low cost graphic cards today use many, relatively simple, compute cores to deliver support for memory bandwidth of more than 100GB/s and theoretical floating point performance of more than 500 GFlop/s. Right now this performance is, however, only accessible to highly parallel algorithm implementations that, (i) can use a hundred or more, 32-bit floating point, concurrently executing cores, (ii) can work with graphics memory that resides on the graphics card side of the graphics bus and (iii) can be partially expressed in a language that can be compiled by a graphics programming tool. In this talk we describe our experiences implementing a complete, but relatively simple, time dependent shallow-water equations simulation targeting a cluster of 30 computers each hosting one graphics card. The implementation takes into account the considerations (i), (ii) and (iii) listed previously. We code our algorithm as a series of numerical kernels. Each kernel is designed to be executed by multiple threads of a single process. Kernels are passed memory blocks to compute over which can be persistent blocks of memory on a graphics card. Each kernel is individually implemented using the NVidia CUDA language but driven from a higher level supervisory code that is almost identical to a standard model driver. The supervisory code controls the overall simulation timestepping, but is written to minimize data transfer between main memory and graphics memory (a massive performance bottle-neck on current systems). Using the recipe outlined we can boost the performance of our cluster by nearly an order of magnitude, relative to the same algorithm executing only on the cluster CPU's. Achieving this performance boost requires that many threads are available to each graphics processor for execution within each numerical kernel and that the simulations working set of data can fit into the graphics card memory. As we describe, this puts interesting upper and lower bounds on the problem sizes for which this technology is currently most useful. However, many interesting problems fit within this envelope. Looking forward, we extrapolate our experience to estimate full-scale ocean model performance and applicability. Finally we describe preliminary hybrid mixed 32-bit and 64-bit experiments with graphics cards that support 64-bit arithmetic, albeit at a lower performance.
Computational Performance of the UAF Eulerian Parallel Polar Ionosphere Model (UAF EPPIM)
Improvement of the computational resolution of geophysical applications addresses various practical needs.
For ionospheric modeling, high-resolution is a requirement of the radio propagation tasks that demand
gradient-resolving capabilities. In practical terms this means modeling horizontal resolution of at least a few
tens of kilometers or better in the polar ionospheric regions, where occurrences of the complicated
ionospheric structures are typical. Such resolution is achievable in parallel and/or multi-core computational
environments, which impose scalability requirements on model formulation, numerical algorithm, and the
code. To achieve this performance, the UAF Eulerian Parallel Polar Ionosphere Model (UAF EPPIM) was
created and refined at the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center (ARSC) with utilization of the Eulerian
frame. This frame fixes the computational mesh inside the domain. Thus, the Eulerian frame facilitates
computational data locality and allows effective parallelization of computational tasks. Applying double
domain decomposition, each processor in the parallel partition covers a vertical "column" and the horizontal
"layer" of the domain. During one time step, this partition permits global addressing of all variables for the
vertical direction (advection-diffusion, heat-transfer, and chemistry solver) as well as for the horizontal plane
(advection solver), minimizing a need for data exchange during computation. Advancing the entire domain in
time is performed by exchange of the updated data just twice per time step, first, after application of the
advection solver and then after the vertical solver is applied. As a result, the model numerical algorithm and
the MPI-based Fortran code scales well. Even with large partitions of tens of processors, code performance
is demonstrated to be at the level of 50% of the theoretical peak or better. These performance gains are
sustainable on a wide range of computational platforms from workstation class to MPP supercomputers,
including current multi-core architectures. The UAF EPPIM is applicable for the high-resolution case studies,
as well as for the routine continuous run on a four-core workstation (http://spaceweather.arsc.edu) with
useful horizontal resolution of 30times30 km. The presentation summarizes experience of more than
decade of running the EPPIM at the different parallel platforms and the improvement gained by transition to
the high-performance parallel and multi-core architectures. Specifics of the code implementation at the
newest multi-core environments is also discussed.
Cheaper and faster: How to have your cake and eat it too with GPU implementations of Earth Science simulations.
Many complex natural systems studied in the geosciences are characterized by simple local-scale interactions that result in complex emergent behavior. Simulations of these systems, often implemented in parallel using standard CPU clusters, may be better suited to parallel processing environments with large numbers of simple processors. Such an environment is found in Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) on graphics cards. This presentation discusses graphics card implementations of three example applications from volcanology, seismology, and rock magnetics. These candidate applications involve important modeling techniques, widely employed in physical system simulation: 1) a multiphase lattice-Boltzmann code for geofluidic flows; 2) a spectral-finite-element code for seismic wave propagation simulations; and 3) a least-squares minimization code for interpreting magnetic force microscopy data. Significant performance increases, between one and two orders of magnitude, are seen in all three cases, demonstrating the power of graphics card implementations for these types of simulations.
Utilize multi CPU cores to improve dust simulation performance
Dust simulation model is a typical time-consuming application in Earth Sciences. Previous researches were conducted to simulate dust events with the Eta, a weather model at a lower resolution, for environment and atmospheric sciences by UofArizona and others. To enable the simulation of dust storms for the southwestern U.S. with an improved resolution to ZIP-code level, the model needs to be improved and consequently, more computing capacity is needed. To leverage computing clusters to enhance the performance, a parallel version of dust simulation model is developed within this reported research. The reported research migrates an Eta-based sequential computing dust model to a higher resolution Nonhydrostatic Mesoscale Model (NMM) based model running on multi CPU cores through 1) modifying the sequential Eta dust simulation model to fit into a High Performance Computing (HPC) environment by parallelizing the dust model based on the NMM weather forecasting model using Message Passing Interface (MPI); 2) testing the performance and initially validating the parallel dust simulation model using the southwest United States as experiment area for a dust event during January 7~8 2008; and 3) installing the improved model on a Linux cluster with 28 computing nodes and over 200 CPU cores. It is demonstrated that the parallelized version of the dust simulation model has a good speedup and efficiency when running with multi CPU cores. The maximum speed up is about 9.5 for the study case when 64 CPU cores are used.

I have a very nice sleeping bag which has been kept stuffed as compressed as possible in a backpack for a couple of months. After reading about the negative effects of such actions, I was wondering if there was anything I could do to return it to its original poofy-ness.

Original Poofiness (or OP as they call it in the 'wood) will always be illusive. No matter how you care for your bag, it is on a steady decline toward compression from the moment you buy it.
To attempt to re-gain some loft, you need to separate the fill so the fibers or down (or whatever) that are inside can trap more air between them.
You can:
Of course, as you mention, never store a bag compressed in the first place.

By DANNY P. SMITH
Starkville Academy golfer Korakot Simsiriwong wasn't sure where her game stood after hitting early at the Starkville Country Club driving range Monday morning.
Simsiriwong's stroke off the tee just wasn't there.
As she progressed through the Starkville Academy Invitational, Simsiriwong got into a groove.
Simsiriwong, who signed to play college golf at Marshall earlier this year, was the medalist with a score of 69 and helped the Volunteers to a second-place finish at the event with a team score of 302.
Madison-Ridgeland Academy had four golfers shoot 78 or lower and won the event with a score of 296, while Pillow Academy came in third with a 305. Magnolia Heights School came in with a 318 and Heritage Academy finished with a 321.
"I would have liked to have seen us win because 302 is a really good score," Simsiriwong said.
On a very windy morning and afternoon in Starkville, SA golf coach Chris Lyle was pleased with the way his squad performed.
He hopes the momentum will carry over to Thursday's North AAA play at Senatobia's Back Acres Golf Course hosted by Magnolia Heights.
"I can't say anything negative about our play thus far and I'm hoping Thursday will be a new start and beginning as we wrap this season up," Lyle said. "I thought they played extremely well today."
Simsiriwong was concerned about how she would play coming off the driving range, but those worries began to disappear once the action came down the stretch.
"On the back nine, I got it together and everything went good with my putting and hitting," Simsiriwong said. "The course played really short today and that helped too."
Lyle knows how hard Simsiriwong works and was glad to see her shoot under 70.
"This was a good day for her because she has been kind of, I wouldn't say struggling, but not playing up to the standard she sets for herself," Lyle said. "For her to shoot a 69, she did a wonderful job."
The other finishers for the Vols were Day Silawanna with a 72, Harper Arnold with a 78, Wyatt Allen with an 83, John Kyle Hewlett with an 87 and Pat Jones with a 99.
Silawanna, like Simsiriwong, is from Thailand and the pair have joined forces to help SA's golf team.
"Our families are friends back in Thailand and we met from golf," Simsiriwong said. "She is actually living with me. We practice together. She is going to a Division II school in California on a golf scholarship."
Even though the wind was a little strong for competition, Lyle called it "a beautiful day" to host a tournament.
"This was good for Starkville and the community," Lyle said. "The high school was here and we had a really good turnout."
Starkville High School's boys shot a 344 as a team. Ryan Lacy led the Jackets with an 84, while Ben Newman shot an 85, Logan Maddox carded an 86, Cameron Maddox had an 89 and Jace Hobart shot a 90.

"HAVING a moon is just inherently cool," says astronomer Mike Brown, discoverer of the "10th planet". So he went looking for one around his controversial object, which he has nicknamed Xena, after TV's warrior princess. Then on 10 September he found a moon and dubbed it Gabrielle, after Xena's fictional companion.
Brown, of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, made this latest discovery with the Keck II telescope on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. Gabrielle appeared as a faint dot waltzing with Xena across the sky. Gabrielle is 10 times as close to her mistress as our moon is to Earth, and the pair are 97 times as far from their sun as the Earth is.
Xena, according to current estimates, is about 2700 kilometres in diameter - about one-fifth of Earth's diameter. Gabrielle is about one-tenth the size of Xena and one-eighth the size of our moon. Observations over ...

City Report: Nürnberg, Germany
Tell us a little bit about your city
Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is a German city in Bavaria about one and a half hours by car north of Munich and has around half a million inhabitants. It's mostly famous for its Christmas Market, the Kaiser Castle direct in the Old Town and for its "Nürnberger Lebkuchen" (Gingerbread) and it's Bratwürste (fried sausages)…those are some of the nice things…now the not so nice things…but facts nonetheless…
Nürnberg was one of Hitler's favourite cities during the Third Reich. Many of his buildings remain standing today as Monuments and sad reminders of the past for future generations. After Hitler's capitulation the "Nuremberg Trials" were held there in 1945-1946. Busted!!!
When and how did polo start there?
It started in May 2010 but really picked up in the late summer of 2010. Some guys just discovered bike polo while investigating the internet for urban cycling after joining the Nuremberg critical mass and thought about trying it out. They got as many friends together as possible and a lonely few fell in love with it and stuck at it. At first we played 2 on 2 in the streets or parking garage when it rained until we were thrown out by security. In the first year we could only get a few players together but over the years the interest grew and finally got a team of six happening and it keeps growing.
How many people play in your city?
Around 20 or so and of those about 3 playing classic "Radpolo" from Wendelstein (the infamous guys from team "Polonauten"). Our youngest player is 16 yrs old and our oldest is 52yrs…young.
How often do you play?
We play twice a week and are now trying to get 3 set practice days a week.
Tell us about your courts
Since August 2011 we officially joined a street hockey and speed skating club which offers us regular training dates on their hard court. We pay annual membership fees of 120 Euros (60 Euros for students). The court is 50m x 25m (!) with high boards and the surface is really smooth with amazing grip and three months ago they installed proper lighting! As soon as the construction works finished we will have another smaller court (30m x 17m with smaller boards) plus access to showers and locker rooms.
In winter we play in an old industrial warehouse which was a stroke of luck! We have a lot of space there and our court size depends on how many boards we have, mostly 35m x 20m. The surface is incredible slippery, sometimes pretty dangerous – but it's free, we pay not rent because we could make a deal with the owner ourselves. Problem there is that anybody can spontaneously rent "our" space for Art Exhibits or concerts, etc. and we have to leave on short notice but that's mostly in summer when we're outdoors anyway. Still, belonging to an "official" club is best because we're all insured should injures occur.
What have you found works to get new people play in your city?
Nothing really quite yet. We had flyers but that really didn't work out. Most of the time it's usually through friends or our internet site that attracts new players.
This summer the city of Nuremberg will offer a holiday program for children and youth which our club will also participate in and there we will have the opportunity to show our skills, spread the word and hopefully get new kids interested.
Are there any other clubs nearby? How far away is the next city that plays?
There are some other clubs in a distance between 200km and 300km like Munich, Leipzig, Karlsruhe, Giessen, Frankfurt and Konstanz.
Do you play with other clubs in your country often? If so is this for tournament or just for casual?
We try to play as many tournaments as possible, around six or seven a year. Seeing that Germany isn't that big we try to meet up with clubs in neighbouring cities. That goes for Europe as well, size wise, so we apply for tournaments in Switzerland, Austria, Italy, Czech Republic, etc.
Has your city hosted any tournament or a you hosting any soon? Please tell us about them.
We have not hosted a tournament yet because our courts are under construction, like I mentioned, new lights, new boards, second court … When everything is finished, it is the first thing to do on our list. Nonetheless we had some casual polo sessions with other clubs in our city.
Tell us a little known fact about your city
In 1924 the German National Soccer team was made up mostly of two rival teams, Nuremberg and the neighbouring town, Fürth. Although they travelled in separate trains, they fought together on the pitch to win the first time against the Netherlands.

A new high-tech analysis led by a University of Colorado Boulder researcher shows the oldest known petroglyphs in North America, which are cut into several boulders in western Nevada, date to at least 10,500 years ago and perhaps even as far back as 14,800 years ago.
The amount of dust being blown across the landscape has increased over the last 17 years in large swaths of the West, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
The escalation in dust emissions — which may be due to the interplay of several factors, including increased windstorm frequency, drought cycles and changing land-use patterns — has implications both for the areas where the dust is first picked up by the winds and for the places where the dust is put back down.
A chemical reaction between iron-containing minerals and water may produce enough hydrogen "food" to sustain microbial communities living in pores and cracks within the enormous volume of rock below the ocean floor and parts of the continents, according to a new study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
An analysis of mineral grains from the bottom of the western Grand Canyon indicates it was largely carved out by about 70 million years ago -- a time when dinosaurs may have even peeked over the rim, says a study led by the University of Colorado Boulder.
At 2:46 p.m. local time on March 11, 2011, the east coast of Japan was rocked by a magnitude 9.0 earthquake.

Milanese stitch is a very pretty stitch, which can be worked in a solid color or in various combinations of colors. It is generally worked in diagonal rows from upper left to lower right, though of course the slant can easily be reversed. It is particularly nice when worked with a shiny thread because it reflects the light so well. It has a nice textured pattern, and gives a brocaded look when used with lustrous threads. It is also a very flat stitch, so it makes a good background worked in a matte thread. It is not always easy to compensate Milanese, but it's so pretty when stitched that you won't mind working at it.
One variation is to work all the triangles pointing one direction in one color or thread, and all the triangles pointing the other direction in another. Another variation would be to work every other triangle in different colors (such as dark, light, dark, light). If you keep this change consistent, it creates an interesting effect.
On my stitch sample I worked several sections in various threads, including pearl cotton, wool, Patina, and pearl cotton again. I suggest that in your sample you try several of the variations suggested just for fun.

Team Reps for Core Team
I was going to wait until after 3.5 came out to post this, but since you all have the weekend free now, might as well take advantage of it, right? Time to vote for team reps again!
Right now there are 8 team reps for core team. Count 'em, 8! (Counting them: Boren, Jaquith, Nacin, Koop, Aaron Campbell, Scribu, DH-Shredder, and Helen). We need to whittle that down to 2 so that there's more balance with the other contributor groups. Much simpler voting this time around: just write down the names of the two people you'd like to see as team rep. From now on we'll be doing these votes every 6 months so we can share the responsibilities and continue to grow new leaders.
Consider before you vote:
- People you vote for should WANT to be the team rep, since there are responsibilities involved. People willing to do the job can help voters by leaving a comment on this post saying they are interested in being a team rep this term.
- Team reps should not already be responsible for another group (and realistically, probably shouldn't be the release lead, but that's hard to guess at since the 6 months between team rep votes isn't the same as the time frame for release cycles).
Easy-peasy, yeah? Voting will end on December 15, so vote before then, please.
Here's a big, easy-to-spot link to the voting survey!
Longer explanation of team reps, why we're voting now, etc after the jump if you don't know the background or weren't around when we did team reps before.

The position description should focus on the job itself and not the person who fills the job.
At WHOI, our position description template allows for a WHOI Title and a Working Title. The WHOI Title is the official job title on record at the Institution. Some jobs, however, may warrant a Working Title that assists with clarifying an individual's role at the Institution. Working Titles are typically used for jobs that are part of a more general career path. For example, an employee may be on the Administrative Professional Career Path at the level of Senior Administrative Assistant II. If the employee's duties are highly specialized, however, they may wish to use a Working Title such as "Training Coordinator."
Here are some pointers for supervisors, and managers to remember when creating position descriptions and titles:
All new or updated position descriptions must be reviewed by the Director of Human Resources for benchmarking purposes.
