A3-ID32271: Air Quality Over China
Oral presentation
Trends in NOx emissions and SO2 concentrations in China
1KNMI, Netherlands, The; 2AUTH, Greece; 3BIRA-IASB
To monitor air quality trends in China for the period 2005-2015 we derived SO2 columns and NOx emissions on a provincial level. To put these trends into perspective they are compared with public data on energy consumption and the environmental policies of China. We distinguish the effect of air quality regulations from economic growth by comparing them relatively to fossil fuel consumption. Pollutant levels, per unit of fossil fuel, are used to assess the effectiveness of air quality regulations. We note that the desulphurisation regulations enforced in 2005-2006 only had a significant effect in the years 2008-2009 when a much stricter control of the actual use of the installations began. For national NOx emissions a distinct decreasing trend is only visible since 2012, but the emission peak year differs from province to province. The last three years show both a reduction in SO2 and NOx emissions per fossil fuel unit, since the authorities have implemented several new environmental regulations. Despite an increasing fossil fuel consumption and a growing transport sector, the effects of air quality policy in China are clearly visible.

Evaluation of RSD-DRFs technique using deterioration experimental data
1Climate Research Group, Division of Environmental Physics and Meteorology, Faculty of Physics, National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece; 2Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China
As a part of our research during the implementation of the DRAGON 3 project we have developed a new technique of using satellite observations to estimate the level of deterioration of the materials used in constructions and cultural monuments. This technique is mainly based on the already developed Dose Response Functions (DRFs) in which the ground-based measurements of various atmospheric pollutants (e.g. nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide, ozone) and several climatic parameters, such as air temperature and others, are often used as input data. The values of DRFs of specific materials provide a measure of their corrosion or soiling caused by their outdoor exposure to weather and the air pollution factors. In this work, we evaluate the performance of our proposed technique using the available deterioration experimental data from more than 10 European sites. These data were obtained during different periods since 2005 for cases of four materials (carbon steel, limestone, zinc, modern glass). The term "Remotely Sensed Data-Dose Response Functions (RSD-DRFs)" is proposed for this technique.

Ensemble of ESA/AATSR Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) Products Based on the Likelihood Estimate Method with Uncertainties
RADI, China, People's Republic of
Within the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) project Aerosol_cci, there are three Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) datasets of Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) data. These are obtained using the ATSR-2/ATSR dual-view aerosol retrieval algorithm (ADV) by the Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI)/University of Helsinki (UHEL), the Oxford-RAL Retrieval of Aerosol and Cloud algorithm (ORAC) by the University of Oxford/ Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) and the Swansea algorithm (SU) by the University of Swansea. The three AOD datasets vary widely. Each has unique characteristics, so none is significantly better than the others, and each has shortcomings that limits the scope of its application. To address this, we propose a method for converging these three products to create a single dataset with higher spatial coverage and better accuracy. The fusion algorithm consists of three parts: the first part is to remove the system errors; the second part is to calculate the uncertainty and fusion of datasets using the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) method; and the third part is to mask outliers with a threshold of 0.12. The ensemble AOD results show that the spatial coverage of fused dataset after mask is 148%, 13% and 181% higher than ADV, ORAC and SU respectively, and the root mean square (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), mean bias error (MBE) and relative mean bias (RMB) are superior to the three original datasets. Thus, the accuracy and spatial coverage of the fused AOD dataset after mask are improved compared to the original data. Finally, we discuss the selection of mask thresholds.

Spatial and temporal variations of aerosols over China from multi-satellite observations.
1Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI), Helsinki, Finland; 2National Observatory of Athens (NOA), Athens, Greece; 3Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics, Department of Physics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece; 4Laboratory of Atmospheric Physics, Department of Physics, University of Patras, Patra, Greece; 5Department of Environmental Engineering, School of Engineering, Democritus University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece; 6University of Derby, UK; 7Institute of Remote Sensing and Digital Earth, Chinese Academy of Sciences (RADI/CAS), Beijing, China; 8Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), De Bilt, The Netherlands
Satellite data from several different instruments are used to study the spatial and temporal distribution of aerosols over China since 1995. In particular ATSR-2 (1995-2003), AATSR (2002-2012), MODIS (2000-present) are used to provide the spatial distribution of the AOD, while CALIOP (2007-present) also provides information on the vertical structure of aerosols, including aerosol type information and in particular dust. The AOD data sets are validated and evaluated versus sun photometer data from AERONET and the Chinese network CARSNET. This is particularly valuable because aerosol retrieval algorithms are developed and validated over areas where many independent ground-based observations are available, such as over the eastern USA and Europe. However, over these areas the AOD levels are often relatively low as compared to China where the occurrence of very high AOD, combined with the variation in aerosol type and surface characteristics, poses particular problems as regards data selection and discrimination between high AOD and the occurrence of clouds.
The spatial distributions over China varies significantly as a result of the multitude of sources, both natural and anthropogenic, which in turn vary with the season. These include anthropogenic sources such as industry and traffic, agricultural and natural biomass, dust from two major deserts, as well as the seasonal production of precursor gases. In addition, economic development and measures to improve air quality affect the long term variation of aerosol concentrations. Meteorology and large scale circulation including the seasonally progressing monsoon have a substantial effect on the aerosol physical properties as well as on production and removal of the aerosol particles. All of these effects vary with location over China and their seasonal and year-to-year variatons.
An initial analysis of the spatial and vertical variability of the AOD will be presented together with time series showing the variation over representative areas. Satellite derived information on aerosol precursor gases NO2, SO2 and BVOCs will be used in the analysis.
These activities are undertaken as part of the EU-FP7 project MarcoPolo. The main objective of the MarcoPolo project is to improve air quality monitoring, modelling and forecasting over China using satellite-retrieved information on aerosols, NOx, SO2, and biogenic gases. This information will be used in air quality models to invert emission estimates. The results, together with known information from ground-based measurements, will then be used to construct an emission database over China. The MarcoPolo project finished in March 2017 and will in part be continued in the framework of the ESA DRAGON4 initiative.

Bvoc Emissions and O3 in a Subtropical Plantation in China: Measurement and Validation
1LAGEO, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, 100029, China; 2Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine CA 92697, USA; 32B Technologies, Inc. Boulder, CO 80301, USA; 4Tufts University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Medford, MA 02155, USA; 5National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO 80307, USA; 6National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO 80307, USA; 7Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy, Avenue Circulaire 3, 1180, Brussels, Belgium
Atmospheric pollution is a severe problem in China, it is an important to keep on our monitoring and satellite validation of trace gases, BVOC emissions, aerosols in China, especially at some representative sites. Our main activities are ground observations, validation of satellite retrievals and satellite data applications. To fulfill one of all above tasks, measurements of BVOC emissions, O3 and solar radiation were carried out in a subtropical Pinus plantation in China during 2013-2016. BVOC emissions were measured using a relaxed eddy accumulation (REA) technique and a gradient technique. Monoterpenes were the dominant VOCs in this subtropical Pinus plantation. Isoprene and monoterpene emissions showed obvious diurnal, seasonal and inter-annual variations. In comparison with 2013, annual BVOC emissions decreased in 2015, which were associated with decreases of PAR, temperature and water vapor. O3 concentration above the canopy level also displayed clear diurnal variation. It was found that BVOC emissions were influenced by biomass burning smoke and pine florescence. The mean emission factors determined using the MEGAN model emission algorithms and empirical model of BVOC emissions were 0.71 and 1.19 mg m-2 h-1 for isoprene and 1.39 and 1.65 mg m-2 h-1 for monoterpenes, respectively. Flux measurements of BVOCs at a subtropical bamboo plantation in China were used to evaluate the bottom-up inventory of isoprene emissions and the satellite-based MarcoPolo (Monitoring and Assessment of Regional air quality in China using space Observations) emission inventory for isoprene derived using inversion of satellite columns of formaldehyde. Generally, the space-based inventory provides a satisfactory agreement with the observations in summer. Further validation in this subtropical plantation will be carried out in the future. All measure and validated data will be provided for air quality models, so as to improve our abilities in the forecast of air quality.

Intercomparison of NOx Emission Inventories over East Asia
1Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI); 2Delft University of Technology; 3Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology; 4Jet Propulsion Laboratory-California Institute of Technology; 5Nanjing University of Information Sciences and Technology; 6Asia Center for Air Pollution Research; 7Department of Environmental Engineering, Inha University, Inchon; 8Department of Earth System Science, Tsinghua University; 9Institute for Environment and Sustainability, Joint Research Centre
We compare 9 emission inventories of nitrogen oxides including four satellite-derived NOx inventories and the following bottom-up inventories for East Asia: REAS (Regional Emission inventory in ASia), MEIC (Multi-resolution Emission Inventory for China), CAPSS (Clean Air Policy Support System) and EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research). Two of the satellite-derived inventories are estimated by using the DECSO (Daily Emission derived Constrained by Satellite Observations) algorithm, which is based on an extended Kalman filter applied to observations from OMI or from GOME-2. The other two are derived with the EnKF algorithm, which is based on an ensemble Kalman Filter applied to observations of multiple species using either the chemical transport model CHASER and MIROC-chem. The temporal behaviour and spatial distribution of the inventories are compared on a national and regional scale. A distinction is also made between urban and rural areas. The intercomparison of all inventories shows good agreement in total NOx emissions over Mainland China, especially for trends, with an average bias of about 20% for yearly emissions. All the inventories show the typical emission reduction of 10% during the Chinese New Year and a peak in December. Satellite-derived approaches using OMI show a summer peak due to strong emissions from soil and biomass burning in this season. Biases in NOx emissions and uncertainties in temporal variability increase quickly when the spatial scale decreases. The analyses of the differences show: the importance of using observations from multiple instruments and a high spatial resolution model for the satellite-derived inventories, while for bottom-up inventories, accurate emission factors and activity information are required. The advantage of the satellite derived approach is that the emissions are soon available after observation, while the strong point the bottom-up inventories is that they include detailed information of emissions for each source category.

Eastern Wake: Community
Curling community grows in Triangle
Sherri Fillingham's three-woman, one-man curling team played against one woman and three men Sunday, and the game came down to the final rock – the very end.
Curling gets a significant part of its appeal from that kind of gender neutrality, said Fillingham, a Raleigh resident and Shaw University's sports information director. It's also open to a wide range of ages, and socializing is required.
"It's considered bad manners to leave right after the game," Fillingham said Sunday afternoon after the final rounds of the sixth annual Carolina Classic curling tournament. The Triangle Curling Club played host for the event.
"You are supposed to sit at the same table and socialize, the two teams together," she said. "The winner is supposed to buy the loser a drink after the game – that's how it works."
Although she played for a Maryland-based team, Fillingham was one of more than 20 members of the Triangle club who competed in the bonspiel (curl-ese for "tournament"), which began Friday at the Polar Ice House at the Factory facility in Wake Forest. The finals opened in true curling tradition – with a bagpipe processional onto the ice, then a toast shared by the curlers and the piper.
None of the four exclusively Triangle teams reached the event finals but three area individuals, Fillingham included, were there playing for mixed teams.
"We had the chance to take out one of their (stones) and score two (points) to win, but couldn't come up with the shot," Fillingham said. Her Potomac/Triangle hybrid team finished as the runner-up in the second event after the close finish with The Expats, a team originally consisting of three American-Canadian players and one from Maryland.
"But curling at a bonspiel like this isn't about winning or losing," she said. "It's about having a good time, and we did. We had a blast."
Knightdale resident and local club member Joe Mecca filled a vacancy on The Expats team and competed against Fillingham in the final draw, and Clayton resident Keith Scott was part of the New Pond/Pittsburgh team that claimed the fourth event.
A team from Kingsville, Ontario, outplayed a club from Charlotte to win the main event. Other players and teams competed out of clubs from Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Knoxville, Tenn., Columbus, Ohio, Pittsburgh and Seattle.
TV has had an effect
The "Roaring Game," as it is sometimes called, has quietly roared its way into the Triangle during the last two decades.
Established in 1995, the Triangle Curling Club consists of about 80 members who hail from all over the area – Cary, Chapel Hill, Clayton, Durham, Knightdale, Raleigh, Wake Forest and Youngsville. The club has called the Polar Ice House home for the past seven years, and was based at several rinks in its early years.
"Getting ice time has been a challenge in the past," said Dave Hamilton, the club's president and a member since 2010. "We're able to get two nights a week during our prime season that we get to curl."
The club's membership pulsates with each Winter Olympics, according to Hamilton. The sport's following has grown since the 1998 games in Nagano, Japan, when curling was first recognized as an official Winter Olympics sport.
"Almost unanimous since it's been put on television in the Olympics, you'll get that reaction from people who want to join, that, 'Wow, it looks so cool on TV,' " Hamilton said. That's how Jeff Turnham, of Cary, became hooked. He joined the Triangle club in 2006 after watching the televised curling of the Torino, Italy, games.
"(The Olympics) is free advertising," Turnham said. "We almost doubled in membership in 2010 after Vancouver."
Preparing for more of the same
Triangle Curling Club leaders expect the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia will have a similar impact on membership. They hope to be ready.
"We have the land purchased in Durham," said Mecca, a club spokesman. "We're in the process of securing the building loans and getting some other funding in place.
"Our goal is to have it open right around the time of the Olympics in February."
For some people, as Hamilton put it, curling is a bucket list-type of thing. He says about 10 percent of those who try the sport will come back and try it again, but the demographic is extremely broad.
"The sport appeals to both the athlete and the geek," Hamilton said. Turnham said the mixture of "anyone can do it," the strategy and the social aspects are what attract people of all different ages and walks of life.
"We've done learning curling sessions with the N.C. School of the Blind, wheelchair curling, and kids-age up to seniors," Turnham said. "We're on the ice for two or three hours with people from all over the country and world, and we have just as much time and fun off the ice. It really is a curling community."

Extension Program Plants Seeds of Hope
Two years ago, Marcy Weber had lost custody of her children and was homeless, unemployed and in trouble with the law because of a drinking and drug problem that began at age 10.
Today, she and her children live in a home she bought. She owns a car, works full time, is drug- and alcohol-free, and has hope, thanks in part to the cooperative efforts of University of Missouri Extension, the Cass County Drug Court and Cass County Psychological Services.
Weber is "paying it forward" for mistakes she hopes are long behind her. Part of the "Pay It Forward" project involved fundraising for a community demonstration garden tended by participants in the two county programs under the direction of MU Extension Cass County Master Gardeners.
Weber gathered donations of seeds, fertilizer, plants and cash for the garden. Six raised beds alongside the county extension center in Harrisonville provide fresh local produce for participants who often live in buildings that don't have room for gardens. The gardens are used to teach horticulture, nutrition, cooking and food preservation.

Some Capital Eats
Slate-sters dish on their favorite restaurants in Washington, D.C.
Let Slate be your guide to the nation's Capital! Jumping off of the New York office's round-up of the best restaurants in Brooklyn (those hipsters), we asked D.C.-based Slate-sters to pick the best eats in Washington, D.C. – Jeff Friedrich, Slate Plus editor
Laura Helmuth, science and health editor, recommends:
Glen's Garden Market (Dupont Circle): This grocery store north of Dupont Circle carries only locally sourced food. When I read about this business plan, I assumed the shop was doomed to failure. Then I read about the bar. They have excellent local brews for $4 a pint, generous charcuterie and cheese boards, humongous warm pretzels with cheese sauce, and plenty of sandwiches, sausages, and pizzas. The best place in D.C. for a low-fuss happy hour.
Mitsitam Cafe: The café at the Museum of the American Indian is the best place to eat—nothing comes close—on the National Mall. It's a cafeteria/ food court with five stations representing various regions (Great Plains, Northern Woodlands, etc.). Try the wild rice and watercress salad, the pulled buffalo sandwich, the haunch of javelina when they have it (and let me know if they do so I can dash down there to get some), the three sisters salad (corn, squash, beans), and oh my goodness the venison mincemeat pie. Delicious, and it's all supposed to be educational!
Rasika (Penn Quarter and West End): If you're planning to visit D.C., make reservations at Rasika NOW. It's Indian but unlike any Indian you've ever eaten, with absurdly clever, surprising, complex, and delicious dishes. It has a lovely dining room and very solicitous service, but it's not at all stuffy.
Several other Slate-sters also recommended Rasika:
Founder Ashok Bajaj is more famous for the Bombay Club, the restaurant near the White House that's become home to many anecdotes. (It's where Monica Lewinsky confronted Maureen Dowd about the nasty things she'd been writing.) But this restaurant's even better, with delicious and adventurous takes on a cuisine that's good even when you do it cheap. — David Weigel, political reporter
The palak chaat—flash-fried spinach with yogurt and tamarind sauce—is one of the best things I've ever tasted. — David Stern, director of product development
Megan Wiegand, copy editor, recommends:
Right Proper Brewing Company (Shaw): Right Proper opened late last year on the coattails of D.C.'s burgeoning beer scene, but it's quickly established itself as one of the best of the bunch. The gastropub offers a range of beers (alongside wine on tap and a full bar) to appease hop-lovers and Belgian snobs alike, and its Southern-style food can't be missed.
The Pretzel Bakery (Capitol Hill): This one-window, outside-seating-only gem is tucked away in the eastern reaches of Capitol Hill, but it's well worth the stop if you're prowling around Eastern Market or touring the Capitol. Try an everything pretzel with spicy mustard or a sweet pretzel with Nutella.
ChurchKey (Logan Circle): Do you love craft beer? Good. Go here.
Josh Keating, staff writer, recommends:
Duke's Grocery (Dupont Circle): This recently opened, supposedly-but-not-really-very-British place on 17th Street has quickly become one of my standbys. The menu is always changing, but the burgers, sandwiches, and salads are always great, the weekend brunch is great, the drink selection is great, the outside patio is great, the service is ... idiosyncratic. It's often a little unclear which tables are open or which menu items they're actually serving at any given time, but that's part of the charm so just roll with it, you uptight D.C. dweeb!
David Stern, director of product development, recommends:
Bub and Pop's (Dupont Circle): Great Philly-style sandwich shop—and this is coming from a vegetarian who only has two options when he goes there.
Room 11 (Columbia Heights): Super small and intimate setting, delicious farm-to-table style American food.
John Dickerson, chief political correspondent, recommends:
Corduroy (Mt. Vernon Square): Creative, but not too creative. Lovely atmosphere.
Table (Mt. Vernon Square): Sit on the roof deck in spring. Fresh food. Grilled Octopus. Yum.
Et Voila (Palisades): Crowded and noisy but the steak au poivre is delicious, mussels too are always good.
James Dasinger, systems administrator, recommends:
Toki Underground (H Street NE): Absurd wait times (I've never actually eaten in the restaurant), but they have takeout. This place is a good example of Gordon Ramsay's maxim that you don't need tons of things on the menu, you just need a few things done well.
Sweet Mango (Petworth): This place goes to show that terrible wait times, messed up orders, and surly staff don't matter if you make incredible chicken. Sweet Mango, I wish I knew how to quit you.
Abby McIntyre, copy editor, recommends:
Smoke and Barrel (Adams Morgan): Excellent barbecue and even more excellent beer choices make this a destination spot for weekend brunch or a late-night dinner.
Bethesda Bagels (Dupont Circle): Best bagels in D.C. hands down. A great spot to stop for breakfast or lunch (I recommend the BLT) on your way to the office. Or, if you're sightseeing, enjoy a break in the shade of Dupont Circle while you eat.
Jamelle Bouie, staff writer, recommends:
DCity Smokehouse (Bloomingdale/Eckington): The best barbecue in the city limits.
Heidi Strom Moon, product manager, recommends:
Firefly (Dupont): Lots of places do truffle fries. None are better than here.
David Plotz, editor, recommends:
Teaism (Dupont Circle and other locations): A teashop with unexpectedly delicious, eclectic Asian food. And the salty oat cookies—often imitated, never equaled.
Black Salt (Palisades): Sit at the bar with wife, eat small plates of fish, bouillabaisse, run into John Dickerson.
Emily Yoffe, Dear Prudence columnist, recommends:
Lebanese Taverna (Woodley Park and other locations): There are several outposts of this restaurant around the area. I've never had a bad dish! I've used them to cater parties, and everyone raves about the food.
Range (Friendship Heights): My whole family loved watching local chef Bryan Voltaggio compete on Top Chef. He is a star, and we've had wonderful meals at Range. Definitely order the Brussels sprouts.
Ripple (Woodley Park): A delightful, small restaurant with a well-trained staff. The arugula soup, a recent special, was spectacular.
Estadio (Logan Circle): A couple of years ago we went to Spain and flipped for the food, especially the tapas. Estadio will make you feel like you are there.
Chad Lorenz, news editor, recommends:
Zaytinya (Chinatown): Wonderful variety of Turkish and Greek small plates, served up flawlessly in a charming space.
Dave Weigel, political reporter, recommends:
Great Wall (Logan Circle): A hole in the wall that looks more and more hole-esque as its surroundings (14th Street) keep improving. The Szechuan menu (you have to ask for it) is as good as Chinese food gets, fish and tofu and pork that swim in delicious spices. Onetime ambassador to China Jon Huntsman has been spotted getting takeout here so that's worth something.
Hitching Post (Petworth): Of all the stellar soul food places around D.C.—gentrifiers are in no hurry to push them out—this is the most reliable and the most homey.
Nicole L. Cvetnić, multimedia producer for The Root, recommends:
Restaurant Nora (Dupont Circle): It was the first certified organic restaurant! The food is the epitome of farm-to-table and is different everyday, depending on what is in season and available from local farms. Everything tastes excellent and their wine list is wonderful.
Le Diplomate (Logan Circle): High. Quality. Food. For being as large and as busy as it always is, every dish appears (and tastes) as if it were individually created with a lot of time and thought.
Bistrot du Coin (Dupont Circle): Delightful French food. Again, high quality and extremely authentic.
Ryan Vogt, copy editor, recommends:
Lalibela (Logan Circle): "Comfort food" doesn't usually put me in mind of African cuisine, but the cabbage and gomen at Lalibela, the restaurant that introduced me to Ethiopian food, would be a fine substitute for a downhome Midwestern dinner.
Further afield:
Megan Wiegand recommends:
Kabob Palace (Crystal City, Virginia). Nothing fancy, just amazingly delicious kabobs and naan.
James Dasinger recommends:
Mokomandy (Sterling, Virginia): Odd concept, but the roast beef sliders are so good they'll make you want to slap your mama. Blows away other D.C.-area restaurants (Rasika, Zaytinya, Jaleo, etc.) that people commonly say are great.
Ryan Vogt recommends:
El Paso Cafe (Arlington, Virginia): In the D.C. area, it can be hard to find Mexican food that isn't just mislabeled Salvadoran food, but El Paso Cafe has the real deal. The sopa de pollo is perfect with a few shakes of Cholula in the broth, and El Paso's smoky salsa is better than I've had at any restaurant in my home state of Texas.
Woodlands (Langley Park, Maryland, and Fairfax, Virginia): Order the paper dosa, a supersized version of the South Indian staple, and the rolled-up crepe that arrives at your table looks more like an origami canon, or perhaps a Ricola alphorn, than something to eat. But with an assist from Woodlands' wonderful coconut chutney, you'll bring it down to size in no time.
Emily Yoffe recommends:
Faryab (Bethesda, Maryland): I didn't know anything about Afghan food until I started coming here. Everything is delicious and fresh, the portions are generous, the prices reasonable, the staff lovely. You will all fight over the chalow kadu—stewed pumpkin.

MIDDLEBURY — Fifth- and sixth-graders from Ripton Community School were climbing up the walls — and even across a ceiling — at Mary Hogan School on Thursday morning.
Kids packed into harnesses and helmets scaled the gym wall, which is painted like a mountain range, and pulled themselves up on platforms jutting out from the snow-capped peaks. Around the gym, others were hoisted up to the ceiling and descending down toward the floor like spiders on threads of silk.
Mary Hogan physical education teacher Mike Quinn was busy belaying a boy who dangled from the ceiling, slowly pulling himself across a rope. Quinn and guidance counselor Wes McKee started Mary Hogan's climbing program about 16 years ago.
"We've been very lucky," Quinn said, never taking his eyes off the boy suspended above him. "We have a great administration … even before (Principal) Bonnie (Bourne), they were really supportive of the program."
The Ripton students started coming to Mary Hogan to climb about five years ago, the first year Steve Lindemann began teaching sixth grade in Ripton after previously teaching — and working with Quinn with the climbing program — at Mary Hogan.
"We couldn't afford this up in Ripton, of course," Lindemann said. "So I thought why couldn't we take advantage of it, if it's available."
Quinn and Bourne said of course it was available, and they extended an open invitation.
Almost every year since then Lindemann brings his Ripton fifth- and sixth-graders down to Middlebury on a school bus in the morning and back to Ripton at lunchtime on an Addison County Transit Resources bus.
Each year they make two trips, giving the kids a chance to get over any fears they might have on their first visit.
By JOHN FLOWERS
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury voters on Wednesday, April 9, will be asked to support a proposed 2008-2009 Mary Hogan Elementary School budget of $5,624,785, reflecting a 2.59-percent increase in spending and restoration of an education technology position that had been cut a few years ago.
If approved, the spending plan would result in an increase of 8.4 percent in the education property tax rate for Middlebury homeowners, a boost that district officials said is associated with the "common level of appraisal (CLA)" provision of the state's education funding law.
"The budget, to be frank, is pretty unremarkable," said Mary Hogan Elementary Principal Bonnie Bourne.
She noted the one substantial addition to the proposed budget is an education technologist position that will work with teachers to help students access information through computers and other equipment. The person will also advise school officials on computer infrastructure and Internet access.
The computer technologist position is making a comeback after having been phased out of the budget in recent years as a cost cutting move. Mary Hogan Elementary currently serves 385 students, down from 540 enrolled eight years ago.
While the school is proposing to add a new position, it is preparing to cut others.
The budget reflects 2.1 fewer professional positions, with cuts including a second-grade teacher, to reflect a smaller-than-usual incoming class. There will also be fewer special education staff, to reflect the changing needs of next year's student body.

FERRISBURGH — The Vermont Electric Power Co. has fixed one problem with its new transmission line that Ferrisburgh selectmen called "shocking and offensive" in a Feb. 28 letter, and the town's VELCO committee head believes the company will address two more: the visual impact of a 70-foot-tall structure near Vergennes and of guy wires on Route 7 power poles.
VELCO, which is in the midst of installing a major power line from West Rutland to South Burlington, last week removed a pole it had installed near Greenbush Road to hold an osprey nest. Selectmen and town VELCO volunteer Larry Keyes backed resident Bob Houghton's contention that it blocked the runway of his private airport. The company ultimately agreed and took it away on April 1, Keyes said.
Still to be resolved are how and whether VELCO will shield the roughly 15 guy wires that hold up poles where the new line crosses Route 7 east of Vergennes, and mitigate the appearance of what selectmen said is the unexpectedly tall double-pole structure on a ridge not far from the new Vergennes substation.
Keyes said VELCO officials have been responsive in his direct talks about those two outstanding issues from selectmen's Feb. 28 letter to the Vermont Public Service Board (PSB), which approved and is overseeing the erection of the big new VELCO power line, which passes through Addison County.
The main problem with the guy wires, he said, are the yellow safety guards that cover their bottom six or eight feet. VELCO officials have told him they are willing to plant shrubbery to shield the safety guards, and although that assurance is not in writing Keyes said the company has made good on similar pledges in the past.

Mini Motor Racing Review
- Publisher: The Binary Mill
- Genre: Entertainment
- Released: 8 Dec, 2011
- Size: 557.1 MB
- Price: $0.99
- Four easy to use control schemes; customizable with reversed buttons and manual acceleration.
- Gorgeous visual design; luscious, colorful environments and cute chubby vehicles.
- Local multiplayer; Wifi and Bluetooth.
- Advanced iOS features; iCloud saves, Airplay and iPhone 4S graphical optimizations.
- No position indicators for other vehicles; hard to know if I'm being tailed by 2nd place or 6th place after lapping them.
- Cripplingly aggressive AI; clear the pack and they'll often self-destruct.
- Problematic camera perspective; hard to see changes in terrain height, making jumps/ramps/dips difficult to anticipate.
Despite some initial frustrations, Mini Motor Racing still manages to provide a unique time waster for arcade racing fans.
- Full Review
- App Store Info
Sometimes, despite everything screaming at you saying it's wrong, a game can manage to remain compelling. This is how Mini Motor Racing feels and despite The Binary Mill's best efforts the game is realistically far from perfect... and yet the next level loads up much like the last and the numbers keep going up and up and up.
The first thing that grabs you about the racer is its cute aesthetic, with its miniaturized world populated with chubbily proportioned vehicles ranging from Sports, Hatchback, Big-rig and even Buses. Everything about the graphical design lusciously envelops these vehicles, creating a smooth and chunky world you could almost reach out and touch. Better-still are the night time variants that range from basic flood-lit tracks to sunset drives and even rain-drenched tarmac.
It's at this point you realize you're racing and things take a bit of a nose-dive. The world of Mini Motors is a distinctly Arcade one and physics take a back-seat while cars freely spin on a dime, cutting their momentum while drifting slightly or coming to complete halts after being rammed and turned off-course by the AI.
Turbo-boosts, which are in limited supply as a power-up, can help you to get clear of the manic self-destructive racers, but learning how to effectively handle each vehicle type can take some time - all the more-so when dealing with the game's huge amount of tracks that feature unique terrain variations.
All of this should kill an otherwise competent racer, but jumping back and forth between vehicles, mastering tracks and upgrading vehicles with your spoils (or unlocking vehicles such as the colorful cameo from Fruit Ninja) has an appeal all of its own. Of note, the controls feel fantastic with slide controls having an almost analogue smoothness to them and touch-buttons providing a decent alternative for those with sore thumbs. Once you master a vehicle you'll almost flawlessly corner as you nail that perfect line time and again with ease.
What makes or breaks Mini Motor Racing is how willing you are to absorb its Arcade-inspired quirks to find the juicy, fast-paced racer that lies within. It won't be to everyone's tastes, but it doesn't take long to work out whether you're coming back for more.

Cisco Announces Four World-record Oracle E-Business Suite Performance Results on Cisco UCS
Cisco continues a tradition of enterprise application performance leadership with four new world records on Oracle E-Business Suite benchmarks, demonstrating that Cisco Unified Computing System™ (Cisco UCS®) powers business-critical software better than any other server vendor.
In four of the Oracle E-Business Suite Standard Benchmarks, the Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server delivered the best performance of any server, regardless of configuration or number of processor cores.
The benchmarks were run in a two-tier configuration with a single Cisco UCS B200 M3 Blade Server hosting both the database and the application server instances, all running on a single Oracle Linux image.
Cisco UCS B200 M3: Dominating the Landscape for Oracle E-Business Suite Performance
- Cisco is the first to demonstrate results on the Oracle E-Business Suite Applications R12 (12.1.3) Large Model Order-to-Cash Benchmark with a score of 232,739 lines per hour, setting the standard for performance on this new benchmark version
- Cisco's score of 221,239 lines per hour on the Oracle E-Business Suite R12 (12.1.2) Large Model Order-to- Cash Benchmark outperforms IBM's Power 7 processor score by more than 63 percent, demonstrating how Intel Integrated I/O helps eliminate data bottlenecks and streamline operations
- The Cisco UCS B200 M3 outperformed the Sun X3-2L server by more than 6 percent with a score of 839,865 employees per hour on the Oracle E-Business Suite R12 (12.1.3) Extra-Large Model Payroll Benchmark. This result highlights superior storage access performance through the high-performance and low-latency unified fabric that carries both network and I/O traffic in Cisco UCS.
- Cisco's Oracle E-Business Suite R12 (12.1.2) Extra-Large Model Payroll Benchmark score of 835,189 again outperforms the IBM Power 7 result, this time by nearly 19 percent, helping demonstrate the balance of CPU, memory, and I/O performance that Cisco UCS offers.
These results demonstrate not just superior performance, but also how customers can power their enterprise applications with a cost-effective, high-performance system built on industry standards: Cisco UCS, Intel Xeon processors, and EMC VNX storage.
Please check the "Cisco UCS B200 M3: Dominating the Landscape for Oracle E-Business Suite Performance" Performance brief for additional benchmark configuration details.

HARTSVILLE, SC – In a game of three-point shooting Coker held a slight edge and pulled out an 89-85 overtime victory over Erskine Monday night in men's collegiate basketball. The Cobras (6-13, 4-8) had lost two of their last three games in OT and were 0-3 on the season in extra time before salting away a much deserved victory at the foul line against the Flying Fleet (7-12, 4-8).
An entertaining first half ended in EC's favor when Craig Williams hit a layup with a minute to play to give the visitors a 35-33 lead. Erskine shot a blistering 63 percent from three-point range in the first period but Coker countered by hitting 53 percent themselves.
The lead changed four times in the second period with Erskine re-taking advantage with just under eight minutes remaining. The lead stretched to seven points on a three-point play from Reed Long with 3:52 on the clock but the Cobras kept their cool and worked their way back. Ryan Queen/Philadelphia, PA hit a pair of free-throws and Jamie Jenkins/Columbia, SC cut it two 71-69 with a three pointer following a stop on defense.
Long made it a four point margin again with a turn-around jumper in the lane and CC came up empty on their next possession. Queen came through, however, and earned an offensive foul to get the ball back. Following a Coker timeout, Queen drove to the lane and kicked it out to junior Mark Duncan/Graham, TX, who buried a three to get the Cobras within one point with a minute to play.
In a chaotic last minute Coker made two key defensive stops and the last one led to a fast break situation as the clock ticked under 10 seconds. Queen drove in the lane again tossed a runner at the rim but was fouled on the play. The senior point guard finished shooting 11-12 from the foul line but the one shot he missed forced the game into overtime. After his first attempt went to the right he calmly sunk the second shot for a 73-73 tie.
The two teams traded empty possessions for the first minute of overtime but junior Jason Fulwood/Cumming, GA gave CC the lead for good with a three-pointer off a Queen assist. Another three-point play from Long brought Erskine back within one point with just over a minute to play, but Duncan answered with a jumper to make it 83-80.
T.J. Taylor drove for a quick layup to make it 83-82 and Erskine immediately fouled Queen in the backcourt. Queen would not be flustered again, however, and he hit four free-throws in the last 30 seconds to help seal the win. Matt Odom hit a three-pointer with five seconds left but Fulwood's drained two more foul shots and finally put the game away.
Queen had an outstanding game with 21 points and six assists against only one turnover. Fulwood tallied 20 points on 6-9 shooting from beyond the arc, and Duncan added 19 points and four rebounds in 23 minutes of action. Senior Jenkins had a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds and also did a good job guarding EC's Long, who is fifth in the CVAC in scoring.
Long finished with 21 points on 8-17 shooting and sat for only 17 seconds of the ball game. Taylor led all scorers with 22 points and Williams finished with 17 points and nine boards. Matt Odom scored 15 points, all coming on three-point shots.
At the end of the contest, both teams had shot an impressive 48 percent from the field. EC made 14-26 three-point attempts and the Cobras made 20-36 from outside. Coker owned a 39-31 advantage on the boards and made 15-18 free-throw attempts for the night.
The Cobras return to the road on Thursday night, February 10, for a 7:30 tip-off against league-leading Mt. Olive.

That fateful day, January 27, 1991 when Scott Norwood kicked that ball into the air during what is now referred to as Super Bowl #1(or the wide right game) we were convinced we were going to win. Nope and the rest is Buffalo Bill's and WNY history. Our psyche has been knocked around for a long time, and ever since Johnny Carson joked about all of the snow we got during the Blizzard of '77 we started thinking as if we were nothing but a bunch of losers.
Hell, everyone knows Dallas Star Brett Hull was in the crease during Game 6 at the Arena in June of 1999…but we're not bitter…well…maybe just a little.
"Baby" Joe Mesi, the undefeated heavy weight boxer from Tonawanda, referred to as Buffalo's Third Franchise, ended up losing his chance at the big fight due to that last hit…I guess it always does…that ended his career…we just can't win!
Lucy ALWAYS lifts the football and Charlie Brown ALWAYS tries to kick it anyway.
Something strange happened to me today. First, and I think it is so much of my WNY brainwashing, I was fully prepared to lose the Rand McNally Best Of The Road contest. I cannot say it was based on rational thought, maybe perhaps, simply based on trying not to be too disappointed. It's sort of like talking yourself out of getting the Schwinn Stingray bike with banana seat when you can only hope for the girly bike with the streamers coming out of the handle bars (too specific?).
I have never been a part of something so special in such a short amount of time. We moved forward so quickly we did not have time to over think the process. I think we were very successful and should feel like winners. Mike and Brian had a blast and fell in love with our small town.
'Okay…so, we lost. We are not going to "get on the map" on their GPS. We are, however going to be on the Travel Channel on July 25th at 8:00 PM. It may only be for a minute but who cares? The winners will not likely get much more time than we do. How do we keep this momentum and build on it?
We have such an opportunity. What are we going to do with it?
It's not an end. It's a beginning.
Lewiston – what's next?

Sahar Dinar, 17, is a senior at Central High School. This time of year students her age would normally be more worried about what prom or college they're going to attend. For Sahar, however, there's a cause she's been much more invested in since she was 10 years old. Sahar is a native of Darfur, Sudan. She came to America in 1999, and went back to Darfur to visit her uncles, aunts and cousins at her old house in 2003.
Little did Sahar know that shortly after returning home, she'd have to crawl under the bed as the sounds of gunshots and helicopters lit up the sky. Overwhelmed, Sahar wondered what was going on. "All of a sudden we were hearing gunshots, and my uncle yelled, 'Get under the beds; get under the beds!' Me and my cousin were huddled up under the bed; some of our other cousins were under the table; their parents were under beds in other rooms, and everyone was freaking out, like what's going on?" Sahar added that when she woke up the next day, it was explained that the rebels had attacked the nearby airport.
When Sahar arrived in Darfur, Sudan, in 2003, she was clueless about the civil war raging at the time, but by the time she left, her world would be dramatically changed. Even after the dangers were explained to her, Sahar was not anxious to leave the country. "I stayed there as a vacation," said Sahar, laughing. Her uncle, Dr. Ali B. Dinar, had the unfortunate task of telling her about the ongoing genocide against a significasnt percentage of the population. Sahar felt a sense of urgency to do something, especially since most of her family resided in the grief-stricken region of Darfur.
The Darfur conflict began in early 2003 when two groups, The Sudan Liberation Movement and Army (SLM/A) along with the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), accused Sudan's government of favoring Sudanese Arabs while oppressing non-Arab Sudanese. At its core, the conflict involves the SLM/A, JEM, official Sudanese military and police and a Sudanese militia group called the Janjaweed. The Sudanese government arms and supports the Janjaweed, a pro-Arab terrorist militia that has engaged in mass murder of non-Arabs. This ongoing genocide has resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths, mostly civilians, and more than 2.7 million people who have been forced to flee their homes, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency. (Learn more at www.UNrefugees.org.)
It turned out that Dr. Ali B. Dinar was a co-founder of an organization called the Darfur Alert Coalition (DAC). Sahar took it upon herself to attend a "nadwa," ("meeting" in Arabic), where she found out what DAC was doing and subsequently conducted her own research. She eventually signed up for the DAC advocacy group after returning to the U.S. A director named Lou Ann Merkel invited Sahar to go on speaking engagements and share her experiences, which led to Sahar getting requests to speak to udiences in the Philadelphia area about Darfur. "I was so excited because I was able to tell everybody what I personally experienced and to just educate people," said Sahar.
Sahar has spoken at synagogues, churches and colleges including DeSales Unversity, Swarthmore College, Philadelphia Youth Conference for Darfur, a City Year event; Strath Haven Middle School in Wallingford, Delaware County; Courthouse Square in Pittsburgh, and more. She has spoken at Save Darfur rallies, and she became so energized that she eventually started her own organization, Children Alert Project (CAP), whose main goal is to help Sudanese children in refugee camps. Her cousins told her that the children desperately needed clothing and school supplies. Sahar's cousin, Tasnim Saeid, held a benefit concert. It raised $150, which all went to CAP. Sahar went back to Darfur in 2007 and gave the money to her uncle to buy clothes and school supplies, which included boxes and boxes of notebooks, pencils, erasers, sharpeners and rulers.
While in Darfur in 2007, Sahar had the chance to visit a refugee camp where her cousin taught. "I started videotaping. It was a long process; I had to ask the school for permission. The school sent me to the superintendent of the refugee camp schools. We went back and went from room to room. It was really sad because the rooms were really small, and each room had up to 100 kids in it. The only light coming in was through the door. There are no windows, no fans, nothing. It was built out of straw, or hay, or like mud buildings."
Sahar returned to the U.S. later that year and told the story of her visit to Sudan. She got a call from a worker at DAC, who said they raised more money and collected many boxes of school supplies. Sahar was able to arrange for DAC representatives to take over a significant quantity of supplies every time they went back to Sudan. She called it the "Backpack Project."
In speaking about Darfur to her peers, Sahar has experienced difficulty in explaining genocide to comfortable American teens. "I feel like too many have this thinking of 'We're going through problems too.' But when you think about it, you still have a roof over your head. They're getting food and water. They're going to school and getting an education. The kids and people in Darfur aren't getting any of that…Look at what happened in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen; the people are revolting."
Through all of her speaking engagements, fundraising activities and hard work, Sahar wants only one thing; for people in this country to learn about what is happening in Darfur. "Just learning is doing a whole lot because once you're aware of what's happening in Darfur, then you can inform other people about it."
Sahar hopes to be sponsored by two larger organizations, Save Darfur and Genocide Intervention Network, in order to spread her message to more people. She explained that she doesn't have the resources to help more than one school in Darfur, but she's at peace that she's doing something.
"As long as I'm helping one school, I feel like I'm accomplishing something," she said. "I just want the genocide to end."
Sahar, who resides in Northeast Philadelphia, will be graduating from Central High School this summer. She recently went to D.C. for a Genocide Prevention Conference, held by STAND (Students Taking Action Now Darfur). Sahar hopes to start her own chapter when she attends Drexel University, where she hopes to major in International Relations and Political Science.. Anyone interested in helping Sahar can reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

V8 V-Fusion Introduces Concord Grape Raspberry, Light Blend Grape Juice
Nine out of 10 U.S. adults don't meet the daily recommendations for vegetables and fruit, a fact reinforced by the recently released 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Campbell Soup Co., Camden, N.J., continues to make that its mission with the introduction of two new varieties of its V8 V-Fusion vegetable and fruit juice line. Concord Grape Raspberry and Concord Grape Raspberry Light blend grape juice with the juices of apples, raspberries, sweet potatoes, carrots and other fruit and vegetable juices for a great-tasting grape taste -- with a twist.
Plus, each 8-oz. glass of Concord Grape Raspberry juice provides one full serving of vegetables (1/2 cup) and one full serving of fruit (1/2 cup), and the Light version has a combined ½ cup serving of vegetables and fruit. The entire line offers essential antioxidant vitamins A, C and E, with no added sugar. Both new varieties are available in 46-oz. bottles, and Concord Grape Raspberry also is available in 8-oz. slim cans.
"We've been told since we were kids to eat our vegetables, but people still aren't getting enough," says Dale Clemiss, vice president, beverages. "V8 V-Fusion juices offer a delicious, convenient way to help people get the vegetable servings they need with the fruit taste they want in a range of varieties and sizes."
Campbell also expands the number of V8 V-Fusion juice varieties available in single-serving, 8-oz. slim cans to include Strawberry Banana Light and V8 V-Fusion + Tea Raspberry Green Tea.
Suggested retail price for a 46-oz. bottle is $3.99 and a six-pack of 8-oz. cans is $4.99.

HANG TIME SOUTHWEST — The Dallas Mavericks signed journeyman big man Eddy Curry out of desperation at the center position with Chris Kaman injured. When he returned, Dallas cut Curry and signed out-of-work Troy Murphy because power forward took top billing on the depth chart with Dirk Nowitzki rehabbing from surgery.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, down four starters and six rotation players to injury, signed Josh Howard off the street Thursday. The Toronto Raptors are reportedly looking into unemployed 3-point shooter Mickael Pietrus to plug into their injury-depleted roster.
Entering just the third week of the 2012-13 season, injuries — many to some of the game's biggest and brightest stars — are the overwhelming story line as overworked team medical staffs are on 24-hour notice.
Both conferences can field a veritable All-Star team, position-by-position, of players that have recently returned from injury, were injured prior to the season or are injured now.
The West: Steve Nash, Ricky Rubio, Eric Gordon, Shawn Marion, Chauncey Billups, Kevin Love, Nowitzki, Andrew Bogut.
The East: Derrick Rose, Rajon Rondo, John Wall, Kyle Lowry, Dwyane Wade, Danny Granger, Amar'e Stoudemire, Andrew Bynum, Nene.
Yet that's hardly all of the NBA's wounded. Here's more of those who have been, still are or just got injured: Gerald Wallace, Gerald Henderson, Mario Chalmers, Devin Harris, A.J. Price, Nikola Pekovic, Kirk Hinrich, Grant Hill, J.J. Barea, Brandon Roy, Chase Budinger, Anthony Davis, Steve Blake, Brandon Rush, Darrell Arthur, Channing Frye, Landry Fields, Iman Shumpert, Alan Anderson, Luc Richard Mbah a Moute and Avery Bradley.
When Minnesota came to Dallas earlier this week with five players out (and Pekovic's sprained ankle in the third quarter would make it six), coach Rick Adelman engaged in something of a "Who's on First" rapid-fire Q & A with beat writer Jerry Zgoda.
Jerry: Who's your backup 3 and your backup 2?
Rick: We don't have a backup 3. I'm going to start Malcolm (Lee) tonight at the 2 and bring Alexey (Shved) off the bench at both spots. And then at the 3, I don't know, we're going to slide somebody there.
Jerry: Have to play AK (Andrei Kirilenko) 48 minutes?
Rick: I don't want to do to that. We don't need to wear him out, too.
Jerry: Can you get five or six (minutes) out of (assistant coach Terry) Porter?
Rick: I don't think so.
A year ago, the worry around the league was how an abbreviated training camp following the hasty resolution to the lockout and then a compacted, 66-game schedule would affect player health. With a full, month-long camp this time around and a complete slate of eight preseason games, this spate of injuries is as unexpected as unfortunate.
Entering this weekend's games, only the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder among the league's 30 teams boast clean injury reports, and 22 list more than one injured player.
"The league's not going to stop and wait for you," Adelman said the other night about his team's rash of injuries. "A lot teams are having the same issues with major injuries. As a coaching staff you can't coach the people that aren't there. You only can coach the people that are there."
And so it goes in a very strange first month in the NBA.

Police are looking into the stabbing of a rapper in the Baltimore area after he published a live video showing the bloody carnage on Facebook, our affiliate WBFF reports.
"I'm losing too much blood," Tyree Colion is heard saying in the video as he he asks someone to put pressure on his wounds.
According to police, the 41-year-old rapper was listed in stable, but critical condition after he was stabbed in the neck around 11:30 at the 1700 block of East 29th street Sunday night.
WARNING: Video contains graphic images and explicit language.
"Yo, if I die, it's all good," Colion said while livestreaming.
Facebook users watching the video live reacted asking if anyone was sending help or if Colion was going to survive.
People witnessing his struggle are heard screaming in the background as he continues to ask for more pressure on his injuries.
In a press conference Monday afternoon, Baltimore Police stated it was a domestic-related incident.
"We believe there is another relative that's responsible for this incident," stating detectives were seeking charges on that person, though their identity was not released.
Colion is known as a safe-streets activist in the community, though police don't believe his role relates to this incident.
Police ask anyone with information on the incident to contact them with any details.

Golden Gate, Baris Cheese Farm, Clarens Town.
Everything about this little town in its beautiful setting, the variety of people, the shops and restaurants. Its just good for the soul really!!
Unique little time capsule - remnants of yesteryear with all the mod cons of modern living and spectacular Mountain settings. Definitely a place to see and experience!
It is a very beautiful town with friendly people.
Peace and quiet at Christmas time. A good Christmas lunch at Gosto restaurant (but beware the R100 cover charge per person). "Eat cheese" for a wonderful breakfast platter. Golden Gate in all its majesty.
It's a quaint little town that knows how to keep tourists happy. Stop in the town square on a weekend for a walk around the market and a cold beer at the brewery.
It is a beautiful village. Many restaurants.
The mountain views and the art galleries in Clarens.
The best part of Clarens is that there is always something happening and the people are super friendly.
Clarens is a beautiful quaint little town. It has everything you could possibility need, gorgeous gift shops, restaurants with delicious food and a craft brewery all set in the majestic mountains. It's the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Must visits : The Purple Onion, which is a deli kind of store. Clarens Brewery is a must, the beer & ciders are great and the food menu is limited but fantastic. Also Red Stone Distillery has a great range of gins and there cocktails are also great. The Art Cafe is fantastic restaurant if you have kids, as they have a nice big play area for them and the food is delicious. And there cakes are to die for.

If you, or any of your customers, have any questions I would be > glad to explain in greater detail. My point is that I have 4 front ends and 768 nodes (dual proc). With the Intel and Portland Group compilers I have to purchase 4 compilers. That is it. Lahey I have to license my cluster. Why? What if I wanted to distribute (or sell) my executable? Does Lahey expect all of my users/customers to have licenses for their product? How different is this from how a cluster works. I don't want to compile on all nodes, just a subset of nodes. If Lahey is providing something else for the cluster of value (mpi debugging or profiling tools, etc.) I can understand where the cost would be dependent on the number of nodes. It is my impression that they are not. The answers provide above were the same answers I got at SC2001. They don't make sense to me when other vendors are doing it differently.
