In Act 1 of "Clybourne Park," the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning play by Bruce Norris receiving a potent Baltimore premiere at Center Stage, civility breaks down as white and black characters in a modest Chicago house start talking about the one thing they'd all rather avoid — race.
"I am ashamed of every one of us," says Bev, a woman determined to emit a June Cleaver neatness and brightness, even though her husband is no Ward, and her son, who served in the Korean War, is now just an unsettling memory.
There's plenty of shame to go around as well in Act 2, when it's 50 years later and a whole new group of tense people are in that same profoundly haunted house, once again skirting around, then plunging recklessly and pathetically, into the same treacherous issue.
Once you know that the address where all the action takes place is 406 Clybourne Street, the impact of words and actions hits home all the more forcefully.
This is the destination the Younger family is heading for at the end of Lorraine Hansberry's pathbreaking 1959 drama "A Raisin in the Sun." It's the bungalow where they will have to face the consequences of being the first black residents in a white enclave.
Norris envisions the flip side of "Raisin" in Act 1 of "Clybourne Park," focusing on the sellers, who inadvertently pave the way for integration (they let a third party find a buyer), and the neighbors troubled by the development.
Representing those neighbors is Karl Lindner (James Ludwig), a character who appears in Hansberry's work — the homeowner's association representative who offers to buy the house back from the Youngers before they can move in. Karl is just as unctuous and obstinate in Norris' play, this time trying to persuade Bev and Russ to halt the transaction.
Karl is a reasonable man, of course. He knows that change may come to the neighborhood. "And I can support that," he says, "if it's change for the better. But I'll tell you what I can't support, and that's disregarding the needs of the people who live in a community."
Poor, naive Bev (Beth Hylton) suggests that the people who bought her house have needs, too, but she is no match for Karl.
Then again, she's no saintly progressive, either. Her heart might be in the right place, but she's about as understanding of African Americans as the overly manicured white ladies in the recent hit film "The Help." The way Bev chats with her maid, Francine (Jessica Frances Dukes), never actually hearing the responses, is one of the most stinging elements in Norris' often brilliantly crafted dialogue.
No one really listens in "Clybourne Park," not intently. At least there's an explanation for Karl's pregnant wife, Betsy (Jenna Sokolowski). She's deaf.
Bev and Russ (Jonathan Crombie) occupy the same home, but, sometimes, different planets, especially when it comes to dealing with a past tragedy. The goofy, hernia-troubled local minister, Jim (Jacob H Knoll), seems determined to filter out anything unpleasant; he's like a greeting card with a bland message you don't bother reading.
Francine and her husband, Albert (Charlie Hudson III), who inadvertently gets drawn into the thick of things when he stops by to pick her up, have long mastered the art of superficial interaction with white people. But that defense mechanism isn't sturdy enough to keep them safe in this unhappy house.
Norris juggles all these people, their needs and motivations, with a sharp touch that can leave deep scars, even when delivered with wonderfully wicked humor (including the kind of zingers that sparked the episode of TV's "All in the Family" when Archie Bunker found out a black family was moving to the block).
In Act 2, the playwright turns the tables. Now, there's a white couple moving in, Steve (Ludwig) and Lindsey (Sokolowski). Now, there's a black couple, Kevin (Hudson) and Lena (Dukes), wary of the newcomers and their radical gentrification plans for 406 Clybourne Street. This time, both sides have lawyers with them.
Although the new scenario is provocative, parallels with Act 1, in terms of lines and situations, get a little too pat, and the characters sometimes get a little too obvious. The trunk that turns up in both acts is an awfully heavy-handed device. The ending of the play tries hard, and not quite successfully, to tie both halves together and add a deeper layer to the work.
None of that, however, detracts from the central thrust of "Clybourne Park," its well-timed method of peeling away facades, prying into minds and hearts, and, ultimately, holding up a mirror to all of us. A post-racial world? Get real.
The Center Stage production, directed with a sure hand by Derrick Sanders, features a cast of vibrant, assured actors (most of them making company debuts).
Hylton is terrific as Bev, nailing the character's airhead-y and rather poignant sides with equal nuance. In Act 2, she also does effective work as Kathy, a lawyer with a connection to the past history of the house.
As the moody, volatile Russ, Crombie gives a compelling performance, allowing just enough softness to emerge at key moments (just the way he says "Ulan Bator" speaks volumes about the man inside the hard shell). Crombie turns around in Act 2 to give a juicy portrayal of Dan, a gruff construction worker who finds something of note in the backyard.
Ludwig brings out every oily drop of Karl's condescension in the first act, and is just as adept communicating the spring-loaded nature of Steve, the new owner of the house, in the second (no-clue Steve just can't wait to stop "the same, predictable little euphemistic tap dance around" race). Sokolowski shines as Steve's wife Lindsey, and, even more so, as the deaf Betsy in Act 1.
Dukes tellingly captures Francine's dignity and simmering resentment, Lena's cool exterior and the wounds underneath.
Hudson goes over the top as Albert in a kind of Chris Rock-does-Stepin Fetchit way. All the roles in Act 1 invite mannerism and exaggeration, perhaps, but Hudson's performance stands out strangely. He's spot-on, though, as the good-natured Kevin. Knoll is particularly effective as the absurdly smiley reverend in Act 1.
Scenic designer Jack Magaw has conjured up a finely atmospheric home, beautifully lit by Thom Weaver. Reggie Ray's costumes set the period for each act perfectly.
Next month, Center Stage will unveil company artistic director Kwame Kwei-Armah's latest play, "Beneatha's Place," a response to "Clybourne Park." It also springs from "A Raisin in the Sun," contains a character from the Hansberry classic, and starts in 1959 before moving to the present day.
Looks like the conversation on race is going to get more interesting and intense by the day around here.
"Clybourne Park" runs through June 16.

The Burqa, full-body cover up worn primarily by Islamic women of faith, has been subject of much controversy for decades, especially in Western societies. Many say that the garment oppresses women, leaving them astray and without a voice in a world were men dominate them.
Selina Roman's Burqa Project takes the Burqa and turns its literal meaning around through the medium of photography and visual composition in order to challenge the viewer's mainstream knowledge of it.
Roman, a former reporter, hopes to offer her audience a different view point, a new way of seeing, she comments on her artist statement.
Although the Burqa is shrouded in religious significance, I take it out of this context in an attempt to explore these other attributes. Instead of showcasing it as an oppressive garment, I place the Burqa in idyllic Florida landscapes to let it float and billow. In turn, it becomes an ephemeral and weightless object removed from its politicized context.
Apart from Roman's obvious emphasis on the beauty and femininity that these garments project, she also wants to shed light on the qualities that we often forget to acknowledge. There are many interesting characteristics that the Burqa provides to any that wears it- i.e anonymity, security, and power.

How to Deal with Pushy Patients
Megan Malugani | Monster Contributing Writer
Every healthcare professional encounters patients who are short-tempered, belligerent or just plain rude from time to time. But the frequency of these encounters may increase as the stress level rises among patients and providers. Experienced physicians and nurse practitioners offer five tips on keeping your cool when tempers flare:
Give Patients the Benefit of the Doubt
Most patients don't purposefully cause problems for health professionals. "I try at all costs to avoid labeling patients as being 'difficult' or 'pushy,'" says Brian Dwinnell, MD, associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center School of Medicine. "Who's to say it is the patient being difficult and not the physician or at least the system in which the patient has been forced to receive care?" Remember, patient behavior that could be considered difficult is often "born out of intense emotions such as fear, anger and sadness," he adds.
2011 RN Salary Projections
Be Up Front and Sincere
Nurse practitioner Linda Roemer, PhD, owner and CEO of Fridley Roemer Health Care Services in Panama City, Florida, tries to nip bad patient behavior in the bud by telling new patients exactly what to expect from her and her office staff. During her first meeting with a new patient, Roemer makes her policies clear on everything from how quickly she returns phone calls to the process of calling in prescriptions.
She is also up front in apologizing to patients who have had long waits. "I tell patients, 'I'm here now, and you have my full attention,'" she says. If a patient isn't appeased, Roemer tries to empower the person by giving options. For example, she may suggest that a patient schedule his next appointment to be the first one of the afternoon so he won't have to wait again.

Social Mallard
We're a soon-to-be-launched small shop marketing consultancy, focusing on blog and online marketing services. And yes, we have a breed of duck in our company name. We plan to stay small and work with independent professionals and small/medium companies. Our logo, like our name, should be professional but a bit tongue in cheek, lighthearted.
No tagline as yet, so no need to allow room for it in the design.
Independent professionals and small/medium businesses looking for online marketing services.
Design must work reversed out against a dark color as well as on white.
Should include a logo, not just creative typeface.
Color: We tend to like earthtones, dark greenish/gray perhaps, with a contrasting brighter color we can use in related text headlines, site links, etc. However we're open to different ideas, just no excessively bright primary colors.
Style: We're not trying to look Web 2.0-ish. Prefer less shiny. Clean and readable, maybe subdued.
Content: Should incorporate the idea of a duck somehow in it, though it doesn't need to actually show a full duck. Can hint at one, have a stylized aspect of some part (bill, foot, whatever).
Content/random idea, feel free to completely ignore:
--Idea of sketched face of a cartoonish duck, looking dead on, with some hair sticking up. Clean and not too Disney, just something to crack a smile at while talking business.

Small fire and water from sprinkler systems cause damage to downtown Ann Arbor clothing store

After a small garbage can fire set off the sprinkler system, Renaissance clothing store owner Roger Pothus said it "sounded like a rainstorm outside of his office."
The result was more dramatic: The entire McKinley Towne Centre in downtown Ann Arbor had to be evacuated Tuesday night, and now Pothus is cleaning up the store and assessing damage.
Pothus said the Ann Arbor Fire Department responded before he even had a chance to call them.
Fire officials arrived at the store at 201 S. Division St. at about 5 p.m., finding the small fire in the store's storage area.
Multiple sprinklers heads had activated due to the fire, which contained the blaze, fire officials said. Firefighters extinguished the fire, then worked to remove smoke and water from the store.
While the entire building was evacuated, neighboring first-floor businesses TCF Bank and Bar Louie did not sustain damage, according to fire officials. Light smoke was reported on upper levels, but Google employees returned to work a short time after firefighters arrived.
No one was injured, but one man was checked by HVA for smoke inhalation.
Firefighters described damage to the store room as "major." They did not immediately identify a cause of the blaze.
Pothus said the rest of the store had more damage done by the sprinkler system than the actual fire. He said he's still figuring out the best way to remedy the water damage to the clothing.
"Some people said 'get the clothes dry cleaned,' but then they're just not the same," he said Tuesday evening.
The immediate goal, according to Pothus, was to get all of the water out of the building, which is owned by McKinley Inc. He said a friend as well as building maintenance people were on-hand to help mop up the water.
Pothus, who opened the store in 1971, said there was no damage to his computer or his inventory files.
"I managed to pull the power cord on my computer," he said.
The cost of damages to the store are yet to be determined, and Pothus said he's also not sure when the store will be back open, but that hopefully it would be soon.

Since the manager was in his office and did not notice the fire, and the Fire Dept was there BEFORE he even called is a testament to the job sprinklers do. They control or extinguisher fires, notify the Fire Dept. and save lives. So for a few items of cothing wet by water is a lot less damage than say him being trapped inside his office as he fire raged if there weren't any sprinklers. And by the way, Sprinklers do not ALL go off. They are temperature sensitive and only activate when the air temperature is at a certain °, for instance this migh have been 155°. This is not HOLLYWOOD and special effects

Well said! Cole Bertsos and AnnArbor.com totally missed the real story here. This store and likely those around it would have been badly damaged without the sprinkler system. The sprinklers PREVENTED the damage. And, yes, possibly save lives as well.

Are fire suppression systems like that usually "all or nothing"? I mean, the fire was in the back. If nothing was happening in the front, why did they go off there? Can't they be on separate sensors. Just curious. It seems that, in a retail store like this, something like that would make more sense and lead to less damaged inventory. At least on the sales floor. (Note to self: ask my ex-husband. He works for Spear's.)

Wed, Dec 5, 2012 : 1:24 p.m.
Ah, gotcha. It looks to me like the whole sales floor/inventory there was soaked. But, I'm kinda blind, so...
Wed, Dec 5, 2012 : 1:02 p.m.
They aren't "all or nothing." Each individual sprinkler activates separately when it gets hot enough. I would guess that all of the water you see in these photos came from the area where the fire was and just spread out across the floor into the front of the store. The clothes on the racks and shelves in these pictures don't look wet - just the floor. The owner was probably talking about clothing that got wet in the storage area - not the area in these pictures.
Wed, Dec 5, 2012 : 12:10 a.m.
Of course if the fire had not been contained by the sprinklers ALL of the clothing could have been destroyed by the fire and people could have been injured or killed. Take the water damage every time.
Wed, Dec 5, 2012 : 12:01 p.m.
...unless it's inventory that isn't moving, in which case a small fire is quite convenient The discrepancy between someone's (the owner's?) account of a "small garbage can fire" and the firefighters' account of "major" room damage from a blaze of unidentified cause could raise the brow of an insurer.

Drawtopia is a Windows Phone puzzle game where you draw the solution. It is a physics based game where you have to draw a path for balls to travel from point A to point B.
Drawtopia has forty levels of play with a nasty variety of traps and mechanics that you have to avoid or use on your behalf. Drawtopia is a fun game that will not only challenge your powers of deduction but also you drawing skills.
The forty levels of play in Drawtopia are scattered about five rooms. The first few levels of the first room, the Red Room, are more or less tutorial levels. Even after you complete the first few levels, the game will toss up hints and tips throughout the game. Again, the object is to create a pathway to guide your ball from the starting point to the exit point or Point A to Point B if you prefer.
Sounds simple enough? Right, but here's the catch. Along the way you have shimmering stars that you'll need to collect for bonus points, maneuver around obstacles and avoid spikey dangers. There are pin wheels that will knock your ball about and spikes that... well... that will just ruin your day.
You draw your lines by tapping and dragging your finger across the screen. These lines will create paths to guide your ball to collect the stars, avoid the dangers and obstacles and eventually make it to the exit which will advance you to the next level. The spinning wheels that you encounter will help by pushing your ball along (good for when you have to draw uphill paths) but can also bounce it backwards off the track.
Another aspect of Drawtopia's challenge is that you have limited ink to draw your platforms/path/tracks. At the top of the screen is the your ink supply meter. As you draw, that meter slowly depletes.
Once you have everything drawn up just tap the play button at the bottom left of the screen to release your ball. If you over draw your lines, send your ball off the screen into the dark abyss or just generally screw up there's a reset button next to the play button.
Drawtopia has a simplistic feel to it but once you get into the game you realize that there's more to it. Drawtopia is a fun, slightly addictive, challenging game for your Windows Phone. Drawtopia's only drawback may be that there's only forty levels.
Drawtopia is a free, ad-supported game for your Windows Phone 7.x and 8 devices that you can find here in the Windows Phone Store.

He was hardly a boy but Joe Isuzu, the star of this cautionary vintage advertisement, loved fooling the townspeople by "crying wolf" about his Isuzu Trooper being stuck in the mud or not having the capacity to carry a load of logs.
Of course these two things weren't true so by the end of the commercial, when he is inexplicably unable to outrun a pack of wolves in his Trooper, no one else seems to care. As a result, we are led to believe Joe Isuzu was killed and subsequently eaten by the pack of hungry wolves.
Personally we'd have saved our calls for assistance to the townspeople for the inevitable "Help, I've tried to take a corner going faster than 40mph and my Trooper rolled over".

Strategic Partnering for Maximum Success
Find out how companies are teaming up with suppliers, customers and even competitors to maximize profitability and growth.
A sports bar owner wants to hold a special event involving an autograph signing by professional athletes, so he forms an alliance with his suppliers to share the cost - and the publicity - of the event. A printer supplies her best customers with proven copywriters because she knows it will increase the effectiveness of the customer's marketing campaign, thus leading the client to purchase more envelopes, paper and other materials. A jewelry retailer partners with a direct competitor to share leads in exchange for a percentage of sales. The result? The retailer turns the competitor into a profit center for himself.
These win-win scenarios are taking place every day across all industries and between businesses of all sizes. In the past, adversarial relationships with suppliers and competitors was traditional to the business exchange. Today, companies are building lasting relationships with these unlikely business partners, as well as with their customers, to boost their revenue and increase their profits. The "old way" saw companies getting everything they could for themselves, with both buyer and seller "besting" each other and focusing on short-term benefits. Today, companies from one-person, home-based operations to corporate giants and major manufacturers, are all finding success in the building of interconnected strategic relationships.
The Partnering Theory
For years, companies have acted as comparison shoppers in their buying habits by making decisions concerning where to buy parts, supplies and services based solely on price. Soliciting bids from several suppliers, selecting the lowest one, switching from supplier to supplier in search of a better price, and even querying multiple suppliers at the same time in an effort to intensify price pressure and "keep suppliers on their toes" were common practices. Simply put, the emphasis was on scoring the one-time sale.
Today, these companies are turning their attention to what consultants refer to as "relationship marketing," to meet the challenges of boosting profits, increasing market share, and enhancing competitive position in an increasingly global and cost-conscious marketplace. As a result, companies are looking at suppliers not as adversaries, but as partners in cost-reduction programs. The process, which calls for building long-term connections to suppliers and customers, is making companies rethink their whole approach to purchasing and selling.
Rather than focus on price alone, purchasers are scrutinizing more closely whom they buy from, what they buy and how they order, as well as what they pay. By partnering with key vendors to reduce costs, some companies have managed to shave millions off of their bill for purchased goods. In addition, many of these companies, acting as suppliers to their own customers, are using the same tactics and forming similar relationships with their valued customer base.
"Strategic partnering is simply an alliance formed between two or more businesses in which everyone involved comes out advantaged in some way," says Michael Cooper, former president of Alton, Ill.-based Excalibur Consulting Group. "Alliances can be formed with suppliers to obtain funding for an upcoming project, and if they're suppliers themselves, those companies can also turn around and form alliances with their own customers by supplying them with funding, specialized services or other benefits."
Cooper, whose growth-strategy firm helps companies and professional practices expand business, increase profits, and achieve growth, says alliances are usually formed between companies who have complementary products or services in order to offer a broader range of benefits to customers. "Alliances can even be formed between direct competitors, thus transforming an adversary into a profit center," he adds.
Who Makes the Best Partners?
For manufacturers, partnering with suppliers often makes the most sense. Many manufacturers currently spend 50 percent or more of their revenues on purchased products and services, and that amount has been growing since the 1980s as companies have outsourced an increasing amount of work. Through partnering, large vendors can get their smaller counterparts access to people they might not otherwise be able to reach, and provide them with broader exposure through cooperative marketing events or co-sponsorships that they couldn't otherwise afford.
"We've found that partnering with our customers is a long-term and ongoing process," says Tom Karvasale, director of marketing and technical services for Tullytown, Pa.-based A-Lok Products, Inc., a manufacturer of industrial production equipment. "It involves developing both personal relationships and technical assistance. We partner with our customers by positioning ourselves to provide both constructive input and value-added products to every phase of their business, and we've positioned ourselves to understand the businesses that our customers serve, such as the contractors and specifying agencies." According to Cooper, an increasing number of businesses are forming alliances that provide the expansion and growth opportunities that the firms would never have achieved on their own, while also giving them the opportunity to better serve their own customers. He adds: "As a result, businesses can better compete with their competitors in a way they never could before, thus capturing more market share for themselves."
At Baltimore-based Strescon Industries, a pre-cast concrete manufacturer, Joe Fleischman, marketing/MIS director, says he finds little advantage in partnering with suppliers. "While we do have good working relationships with all of our suppliers, there's not much advantage to partnering with, say, a cement supplier because you can get the product anywhere, and no one's prices are better than anyone else's. Supply is the biggest issue," he says. StresCon does, however, regularly partner with its customers, Fleischman explains: "In design-build situations, we often partner with the general contractors. We also like to work directly with the property owners, which is the easiest way to find out exactly what they want, rather than having that vital information filtered through a third party. When we work directly with an owner, everything works out great."
When it comes to citing the advantages of such alliances, Fleischman sees improved communication, the probability of repeat business and cost savings (not immediate, but definitely in the long run) as the biggest perks.
"In our industry, things can get designed and put on paper that truly have no basis in reality," he explains. "We can stop much of that by being part of the process. Whether we're working with the general contractor or the owner, being a part of the design team means a lot less problems."
Alliances With the Competition
In the '90s business world, change is inevitable. With new technologies cropping up all the time, new business opportunities coming out of the woodwork and new strategies being used by companies of all sizes, one never knows where a great partnering opportunity may arise - even if it means teaming up with a competitor. Cooper refers to one such strategy as, "Getting Your Competitors to Pay You." Your competitor is not the enemy, he says. On the contrary, they present a partnering opportunity that many companies don't consider. Much like the jewelry retailer mentioned in the beginning of this article (a client of Cooper's), who tried his hand at selling products to a list of prospects that his competitor wasn't able to close, if done correctly, competitive alliances can often result in a win-win scenario.
Sharing your customers with other businesses, what consultants refer to as "cross-over marketing," is also becoming increasingly popular. Under this strategy, a restaurant and a movie theater, for example, will get together to offer joint discounts: With dinner, a customer gets 10 percent off the price of a movie ticket; with each movie admission, the movie-goer gets a 10 percent discount at the restaurant.
Getting Started: Commitment Is the Key
Before business partnerships can work properly, all involved parties should spend time deciding exactly what they expect from such an alliance; what they're willing to give in return; and most importantly, how much time and resources they're willing to commit. This commitment can involve trusting a supplier with proprietary technology and other sensitive information, an uncomfortable proposition for many companies. The level of discomfort of partnering companies can be decreased in this situation by insisting on the use of nondisclosure agreements. Partnering can also require short-term investments based on the promise of long-term payoff. But commitment is a choice that can offer high return.
According to Cooper, the first step a company should take involves realizing that it is not in business alone, and that there are numerous individuals and companies that have an interest in its success. "The sooner this old myth is shattered, the better," he says. He advises asking yourself what other parties benefit, either directly or indirectly, from your company's success?
"Once your have these companies identified, decide exactly what you need from them," Cooper continues. "But remember, they must also profit in some way themselves. Then, approach the supplier, competitor or customer and present your idea. Tell them about the projected result and most importantly, what they will get out of the alliance."
For example, when a manufacturer makes a real commitment to a supplier, the supplier then can be encouraged to share in the commitment by investing in the manufacturer's business and its products. And whether that commitment is in people, machinery or technological upgrades, when a supplier makes a direct investment to better service a key customer, both can enjoy a sustained competitive advantage as a result.
"When presenting your proposed alliance, think to yourself, 'It's all about them, never about me'," Cooper emphasizes. "Not everyone will want an alliance, but if yours is well thought out and aims to benefit all involved parties, then it has a great chance of succeeding."
Before You Partner: Pitfalls to Avoid
Overall, partnering relationships have met with mixed success. Some companies find that anticipated savings aren't realized, or that new approaches don't stick. So-called preferred suppliers can end up disgruntled, feeling that for them, the word "partnership" has meant little more than opening their books to a customer, only to be told, "Cut back here." Other companies may find that while they do realize savings from partnerships, the savings are marginal, or even worse, they're one-time deals that can't be replicated year after year.
To avoid such pitfalls, it pays to do preliminary research and legwork prior to signing a contract with a potential business partner. Businesses will find it beneficial to examine a potential ally's track record, and their participation in and support of their specific industry or business sector. To evaluate suppliers, experts suggest that you first ask yourself the following questions:
- Is the company competitive? Where does it rank in comparison with its competitors?
- Can the supplier meet our needs?
- Is the partnership an "easy fit," or do business philosophies clash?
- What is the company's success rate, and what is the quality of the management team?
- Will we be able to communicate on an effective level with this company, especially in urgent or crises situations?
- What is their track record for payment (for customers)?
- Will they be willing to join in major decision-making for large or complex contracts?
- Does it have in-house engineering or technological expertise that can add value to my product?
"You should look for companies you can trust to pay what they agreed to pay; trust to do what they said they would; and trust to treat your customers professionally (if applicable)," says Cooper, of Excalibur Consulting. "And always have a business lawyer examine any contracts before you sign them." According to Cooper, the first rule of business partnering is that there are no rules. He explains: "Alliances are formed when two companies can help each other reach more goals, more prospects, more profits or more growth. The only limit to the type of companies you can form alliances with is only limited by your own creative imagination."
A Look Ahead
Regardless of how business alliances are structured or utilized, it's no secret that companies worldwide realize that strategic partnerships make sense. In fact, by the year 2000, business alliances are expected to account for better than 20 percent of the average company's revenues. Whether the goal is to shorten channels, increase efficiency, speed up processes or take some of the burden off a company's in-house staff, business partnerships with vendors and customers are proving themselves beneficial in a variety of ways.

The Iwill's have custom PSU's that are badly overrun, and when they die it's very expensive to get them repaired. Eventually, they can't be repaired: I've had several returned now as "beyond economic repair", and I've decided to retire the IWill's. It's a pity, because the IWill's are nice machines. However, even with 55W Opteron 248HE's fitted the IWill Zmaxdp can't keep the CPU's cool under load unless they have their extremely noisy fans running at full speed. I've kept one Zmaxd2 for desktop use with dual Opteron 246HE's and it's fine, unless you make it work hard ;-) > 3) networks.

I really would avoid SFF systems as compute nodes: I've just used Tyan ATX FF S3970 motherboards in pedestal cases on industrial shelving and you bear in mind that standard Shuttle cases are only 50% the size of an ATX case. You can get four ATX cases in the space occupied by your eight Shuttle SFF computers...

Packaged in a beautiful black-lacquered wooden storage case, this DVD collection includes the movies "Atom Age Vampire," "Beast from Haunted Cave," "Carnival of Souls" and "Night of the Living Dead."
Four macabre horror movies combine on this collection.
ATOM AGE VAMPIRE: Made in Italy, ATOM AGE VAMPIRE deals with a mad scientist who must kill young women and rip out their glands in order to restore a sexy dancer's disfigured face. But he also has to struggle with his own Jekyll & Hyde-like transformations into a lizard-man, fighting off the dancer's trench-coated boyfriend and battling his own jealous assistant.
BEAST FROM HAUNTED CAVE: Monte Hellman, who would later go on to create the cult classics TWO-LANE BLACKTOP and THE SHOOTING, directs this Roger Corman B-picture about a giant creature that attacks a group of unsuspecting victims in the South Dakota mountains. Gil Jackson (Michael Forest) is a handsome ski instructor who gets more than he bargained for when he agrees to be a guide for Alex Ward (Frank Wolff) and his group of bandit friends. The leader of the gang, Alex convinces his girlfriend, Gypsy Berlin (Sheila Carol), to seduce Gil while he and his cronies pull off a major gold heist. They then embark on a trek through the mountainside to lie low while the authorities search for the robbers. Gil eventually catches onto their criminal ways, and also manages to win the heart of Gypsy. What no one could have projected is the gigantic beast that resides in a nearby cave and eats human beings like popcorn. As Gil and Gypsy try to escape from Alex, the beast closes in on all of them, culminating in a gigantic battle in a cave to decide who lives, and who dies. Hellman's exploitation thriller is low-budget fun in the truest sense of the term.
CARNIVAL OF SOULS: Made in 1962 on an extremely low budget, Herk Harvey's classic CARNIVAL OF SOULS has become legendary for its ability to create a tensely creepy atmosphere with virtually no special effects. A young woman (Candace Hilligoss) is involved in a car crash when her car falls off a bridge during a drag race. After she pulls herself from the river, she moves to a new town to take a job as a church organist. Meanwhile, a distinctly eerie and hollow-faced man seems to be following her wherever she goes, while an abandoned lakeside amusement park beckons her with an almost gravitational pull. The effective organ score enhances the film to great effect, as do the bleak landscapes of Utah's salt flats.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD: George Romero's NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD is a low-budget homegrown classic that had great difficulty finding a distributor at the time of its 1968 release, and has since become one of the most influential horror films of all time. Aside from its visceral impact years before realistic gore became the fashion, the film is also important for its portrayal of a black man as the protagonist during a time when race relations were an extremely sensitive issue in the United States. Seven people secluded in a Pennsylvania farmhouse face relentless attacks by reanimated corpses seeking to eat their flesh. The group, which includes a married couple and their daughter, a pair of young lovers, and an African-American man, try to keep their sanity as the living dead make endless dogged attempts to enter the house. The only way to stop the zombies is to burn them or deal a severe blow to their heads. Radio news reports tell of the plague taking over the eastern United States, while the ever-decreasing band of survivors rapidly loses ground in the battle to both keep peace with one another and stay alive.

Police spent 1 million hours arresting people for pot: Report
Cops spent 1 million hours arresting people for pot, according to a new report.
More than 400,000 people were arrested for marijuana possession in New York City during the last decade, according to a new report.
And cops spent about 1 million hours of their time arresting 440,000 people for pot, adds the report, released today by the Drug Policy Alliance.
"Police have squandered 1 million hours to make racially biased, costly and unlawful marijuana possession arrests," Drug Policy Alliance state director Gabriel Sayegh said. "This is scandalous."
The group has been one of several to criticize the NYPD for booking New Yorkers found with pot in their pocket. Advocates say many arrests result from NYPD officers stopping and searching New Yorkers, not people smoking on sidewalks.
In 2011, NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly sent a memo telling officers not to arrest people for having small amounts of marijuana that was not in public view.
This week, state legislators are reportedly considering a proposal by Gov. Andrew Cuomo that would make the penalty for having a small amount of marijuana in public view a violation instead of a misdemeanor.
According to the report, the amount of cops' time used for a pot arrest varied from two hours to five hours, sometimes longer.
After an arrest, police must bring back the handcuffed person, book them, take photographs and fingerprints and write a report. They also check the person's data against criminal databases, researchers said.
Researchers noted that this calculation does not include time from officials like corrections, court or prosecution staff.
About 70 percent of people arrested for marijuana are younger than 30, according to the report.
And more than 85 percent are black and Latino, researchers said.
"We cannot afford to continue arresting tens of thousands of youth every year for low-level marijuana possession," said Alfredo Carrasquillo, an organizer with VOCAL-NY.
Carrasquillo told Metro about spending two days in jail after Harlem cops pulled him aside and found a bag of marijuana.

The Sports Doctor: Common injuries for athletes
Shin Splints: Inflammation of the muscle. The most common areas are the front and inside muscles of the leg, tendon (tendonitis) or bone covering the lower leg (periostis), where the muscle attaches to the bone.
Achilles Tendonitis: An inflammation of the large tendon in the back of the lower leg.
Pronated Flat Feet: This is an inherited foot type, a mechanical weakness that can lead to ankle, knee, hip and lower back pains.
Pain Ball of Feet: Most common location of pain is under the head of the second metatarsal bone behind the second toe area, and under the first metatarsal head (sesamoid or accessory bone area) just behind the bottom surface of the big toe.
Stress Fractures: These can occur elsewhere as well, other than the long bones of the foot.
Ankle Problems: Generalized swelling and sprains are most common.
Knee Problems: The majority of knee problems are due to dynamic imbalances in the foot and weakness in muscles, such as the quadriceps muscles.
Heel Spurs: This spur is formed by tissue pulling the bones as the foot pronates (inward rotation).
General Foot Problems: Bunions and hammertoes. Bunions can occur either on the outside of the big toe joint or outside of the little toe joint. Hammertoes, contracted or claw-like toes, usually occur as a result of imbalances of bone structures or muscles making the toe stick up higher than normal.

TAIPEI - Efforts to make Taiwan's military an all-volunteer and more professional service - which suffered a setback after the death of a young corporal - have regained momentum following a pay rise, officials said Tuesday.
"Now we feel relatively optimistic. The outlook is turning brighter after our efforts," defence ministry spokesman David Lo told AFP.
The ministry said its full-year recruitment target of more than 10,000 soldiers had almost been met in the first four months.
As of April 20, 8,634 civilians had applied to become professional soldiers and 1,073 conscripts had agreed to transfer as volunteers.
The figures are a stark contrast to last September, when the ministry announced a two-year delay to the end of its decades-old conscription policy due to insufficient recruitment.
Lo said a pay raise which took effect on January 1 may have been a major incentive.
Volunteer soldiers and sergeants received an additional monthly allowance of up to Tw$4,000 (S$165), bringing the lowest-ranked private's monthly salary to Tw$33,625 ($1,120).
The ministry now plans to launch an all-volunteer service on January 1, 2017, although men aged over 20 will still have to undergo four months of military training.
Lo also credited a better understanding of human rights in the military, an upgrade of dormitories, opportunities for academic studies and help with finding jobs after soldiers are demobbed.
A Taiwanese court in March sentenced 13 military officials to up to eight months in prison over the death of a young conscript last year.
The death, allegedly caused by excessive exercise as punishment for taking a smartphone onto his base, triggered massive street protests and brought down the then-defence minister.
Currently all men aged over 20 must serve one year in the military.
The government hopes professional soldiers will enlist for longer, creating a better trained and more highly skilled military.
Taiwan's military of about 215,000 is relatively large for its population of 23 million. It is a legacy of decades of tensions with China, which still regards the island as part of its territory after the two split at the end of a civil war in 1949.

Learn How to Know Yourself Better
This effective hypnosis download allows you to relax deeply, and calmly understand yourself better
Philosophers down the ages have encouraged people to 'know yourself'. But just what does it mean to know yourself?
To know yourself, you need calm
Knowing yourself isn't about 'loving yourself' regardless of what you are like or constantly beating yourself up either. To really begin to know yourself you need to be calm. You need to be able to observe yourself in a detached way without the distortions of emotion.
There are many selves
Clearly, we are not wholly unified beings. When you observe yourself, you are many things. You have a social self, a work self, sometimes you are angry and sometimes happy... we all contain many parts.
When we begin to understand the workings of these parts then we can begin to have a sense of who we are.
Knowing yourself isn't a vague quest
So knowing yourself isn't some abstract navel gazing idea. It involves seeing yourself objectively, being honest with yourself about yourself and not using justifications or rationalizations to explain away your thoughts and behaviors as always automatically right. Knowing the truth about yourself means recognizing your own motivations for what they really are.
When someone we respect criticizes us in some way or just makes an observation that isn't flattering then it may be easy to just reject that criticism out of hand, but when we are objective we can concede that they might just be right in what they say.
The Know Yourself audio session
Know Yourself will teach you about automatic associations, the importance of calm self observation and how to avoid false justifications and rationalizations when you consider your own motivations.
To know yourself you need to know a little bit about other people. Because in many ways you are the same as others. Understanding a little about psychology can help us to learn about our own motivations and emotions.

Seahawks Insider Blog
Milloy hosts football camp in hometown; free agent could play elsewhere next season
Time passes, but Pacific Avenue remains the same for Lawyer Milloy.
The Tacoma native and Lincoln High graduate caught a glimpse of the busy thoroughfare he used to spend time on while driving on it Wednesday on the way to his football camp at Pacific Lutheran University.
"I went downtown to eat at the Matador, and instead of getting on I-5, I said, 'Let me drive through the old 'hood,'" Milloy said. "And that's what it's all about ¬ to come back to where it all started out for me. Those streets are very familiar. A lot of times I lived on those streets. So I know and can relate to what some of these young kids are going through.
"I think it's up to us while we're on that platform to use it in a positive way. And what better time than right now, while we have all this extra time (because of the NFL player lockout)."
Partnering with Sports International Football Camps, Milloy hosted his first camp in Parkland this week, with Seahawks teammates Deon Butler and Marshawn Lynch chipping in to make appearances in order to teach kids the ins and outs of the game.
But Milloy didn't just pop in to show his face and talk for five minutes. He spent quality time working with kids in individual drills.
"I don't want to be a guy that sits on the sidelines," he said. "That's not what I'm about. These parents want their kids to get something, and they want them to get it from me. That's why my name's on it. And so I think it's important for me to get out there and have fun with the kids. And it comes natural when you're having fun."
PLU football coach Scott Westering, who offered his campus to host the event, says players like Milloy help bring the message home for young players.
"There's a better-than-average chance a lot of these kids will not experience major college football, much less professional football," Westering said. "And so it's important for them to hear whether it's Lawyer, Marshawn Lynch or Deon Butler ¬ talk about life bigger than football, and to encourage these kids to obviously give football it's due,and love the game and give it your best shot, but then ultimately make sure you're growing in other areas of your life."
Butler, who suffered a gruesome broken right leg against San Francisco on Dec. 12, appears to have healed six months later, moving well while running routes against some of the campers.
Although Butler, one of the fastest players for the Seahawks, admitted he'd have trouble beating Milloy in a race right now.
Lynch talked to kids about the importance of teamwork. His example? Lynch told campers that on his spectacular, 67-yard touchdown run that iced Seattle's 41-36 win over New Orleans in the NFC Wild Card game, he was so tired that he had to lean over to fullback Michael Robinson for a reminder of which hole in the line the play was designed to go through.
[caption id="attachment_10653" align="aligncenter" width="480" caption="Lawyer Milloy, a University of Washington product, gives the Cougars a thumbs down. (Janet Jensen/TNT)"] [/caption]Milloy channeled his inner child during the afternoon portion of the camp, with the former University of Washington star giving a kid the business for wearing a Washington State University decal on his helmet.
"I had to remember that he's like 10 years old," said Milloy, chuckling. "It's a healthy rivalry between the University of Washington and the other school. And you're starting to see a lot more of their stuff popping up on some of these kids.
"I'd rather see our kids wearing some kind of university on their shirt that gives them motivation. But ultimately I'm a Dawg – Dawg for life. And my university is better than his ¬ even if he's 10 year old."
At 37 years old, Milloy believes there¹s still gas left in the tank, and does not rule out returning for a 16th season in the National FootballLeague. Milloy played for the veterans' minimum salary the past two seasons in Seattle.
After playing special teams and a reserve role for the first time in his career, Milloy was given an opportunity by Seahawks coach Pete Carroll to earn a starting job in 2010 along with becoming a team leader. Milloy flourished.
He did not have an interception, but the strong safety started all 16 games, finished second on the team with 88 tackles and third on the team with four sacks.
Milloy also became the 11th player in league history to total 20 sacks and 20 interceptions in his career ¬ He has 21 sacks and 25 interceptions. However, with the Seahawks drafting safeties in back-to-back years ¬ Kam Chancellor in the fifth round in 2010 and Mark LeGree in the fifth round this year, Milloy is keeping his options open.
"I had a chance to get back on the field last year, and I had outstanding numbers," Milloy said. "You can put my numbers up to really anybody out there besides interceptions.
"I did the dirty work and I did my job. I definitely outworked my pay while making people around me better, and that's what I do.
"I'm a free agent, just like anybody else. I'm available to all teams. That's the only thing. When I go out, I want to go out fighting for a job. Just like last year when I talked to Pete (Carroll); I don't want anything handed to me. I want to go out and earn it. And as long as I feel that I can do that and keep my body in shape (I'll keep playing)."
So it doesn't have to be in Seattle?
"Yeah, I'm a free agent," he said. "As a business person, you never say you love one situation over another when you're trying to get a job. I want to win a championship, that's always first and foremost. Being at home is a bonus. I'm open to whoever thinks they can have an older guy that can make plays, make people around them better and that can lead a team ¬ that's the best situation for me and that's where I'll be."

People handing clues? We had 2 clue givers in Bora Bora, I can also remember the ones in the Bamboo Dance, recently we have had the one with the dogs in Switzerland, the coin giver in the Roadblock in Germany or IDK, lots of people have given clues, that could have something to do?
Yeah, but based on outfits etc, wouldn't be that hard to figure. Plus any racers with any smarts keep a log of this...

What's My Letter? is a Sesame Street game show hosted by Guy Smiley from season 3. Prairie Dawn was the show's guest, and the object of the game was to guess a letter of the alphabet, given some clues. She manages to get the answer right when she hears the prize will be a mouse - which frightens her!
This was one of many tracks from the 1971 LP The Muppet Alphabet Album that was later recorded as a segment on the show, with the puppets lip-synching to the original album recording.
- Jim Henson puppeteered Guy, assisted by John Lovelady. Jane Henson puppeteered Prairie (to Fran Brill's voice from the original recording).[1]
- Fisher-Price made a Sesame Street electronic game in 1995 called "What's My Letter?", inspired by this sketch.

Dr. Susan Enfield 'Thrilled, Honored' with Chance to Lead Highline Schools
Story & Photos by Ralph Nichols
Saying she is "thrilled and honored," Dr. Susan Enfield was introduced Tuesday morning (Feb. 28) as new Highline School District superintendent.
"This is a decision that I am so happy about," Enfield said during a press conference at district headquarters. "I thank the school board for being so welcoming.
"I made a commitment to the board that I will not let this community down."
Enfield, currently the interim superintendent of Seattle's public schools, had announced earlier she would not continue in that post.
Again today she said that decision was made for both "personal and professional" reasons, and once again she did not elaborate.
But, Enfield noted, "I wanted to go to a smaller district and to be part of the community," and wanted to remain in this area.
Her husband will move here from their Vancouver home – "I can't wait," she said – and they will live in the Highline School District.
"Seattle is a special place" and its school superintendent position offered "lots of challenges," Enfield continued, expressing appreciation for that opportunity.
"What I take away from it is how do we make sure that our decisions and actions give students the education they need."
The Bellevue School District was also interested in Enfield, and the Puyallup School District was rumored to be considering her as well.
Enfield was offered the superintendent position by the school board Monday afternoon – and accepted – pending successful contract negotiations and a requisite background check.
"We anticipate successful contract negotiations," school board president Angelica Alvarez told reporters.
School district spokeswoman Catherine Carbone Rogers told The B-Town Blog she did not know the salary range that is being discussed.
"The school board was impressed with Dr. Enfield's passionate leadership," Alvarez said. "Dr. Enfield's skill, passion, and education leadership will match expectations we and our communities hold for the children of Highline public schools."
She was selected "after much consideration" by the school board, "and an extensive process involving staff, community members, business leaders, and especially parents."
Board members are expected to vote at their Feb. 29 meeting to formally approve Enfield for the position. She will begin her new job July 1 if they agree on contract terms.
Calling this "the most enjoyable interview process I've ever experienced," Enfield said she is honored by the offer, adding that her decision to accept "was pretty much immediate."
Enfield is "very, very impressed with the commitment of the school board…. I very much look forward to partnering" with the administration, teachers, and community "so every student receives the education he or she deserves
Adequate funding for public school budgets – "not just locally and in our state but around the country" – is an obvious top priority in her new position with the Highline district.
But budget matters alone aren't enough, Enfield emphasized.
"We need to find how to support every student in every classroom in every school…. I heard a real commitment [during the interview process] to equity so that every child gets what he or she needs to be a success."
During her public interview last week, Enfield said Highline is a district 'that just needs to keep going from good to great."
Building on this theme, she promised at the press conference to be a "cheerleader" for Highline schools and their students.
Asked what her goals will be, she said it's "a little premature" to set goals until working with staff to determine specific district needs.
"A smart, thoughtful leader takes time" to do that, Enfield observed.
A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, she earned master's degrees at Stanford University and Harvard University, and a doctorate in Administration, Planning and Social Policy from Harvard University with a concentration in the Urban Superintendents Program.
Dr. Enfield spent seven years as a classroom teacher in the San Francisco Bay area. She was Chief Academic Officer and then Deputy Superintendent for Evergreen Public Schools in Vancouver before joining the Seattle School District.

Yes, what I'm asking here is pretty "much", but well. Nemu64 has a lot of bugs, which I could fix myself. However, I didn't find anywhere a source code for Nemu64 and I'm doubting that it still is under development. So, maybe is it possible to release the source code? I would be really thankfully for this.
Thanks in advance, if someone/owner has it.

Montana Insurance Commissioner Lindeen Meets With President Obama in White House [AUDIO]
Montana Insurance Commissioner Monica Lindeen met with President Barack Obama on Thursday, April 17 in the state dining room of the White House in Washington, D.C. to discuss progress on the Affordable Care Act.
Lindeen said the meeting with other state insurance commissioners lasted over an hour, and the President stayed until the end.
"He is certainly committed to this issue," Lindeen said. "There was discussion about continued collaboration and communication for the success of this project. We also talked about the future of rate review, the potential for increased rates in the future, and we talked about the transition in HHS with the resignation of Secretary Sebelius. There was discussion about the open enrollment issue for the next term in 2015, as well as challenges for Navigators and for the territories that were also represented at the meeting."
Regarding the issue of health insurance policy rates, Lindeen said the President agreed about the importance of keeping rates as low as possible.
"Every insurance commissioner in the country feels the same way," Lindeen said." However, at the same time, we know that insurance companies need to remain solvent. Because of this, there will have to be some kind of rate increases to make sure these companies will be able to pay the claims when the time comes."

Risk assessment is one of those hardy perennials–the kind of story that comes back again and again in virtually the same form. Not long ago I met David Ropeik, author of a new book, How Risky Is It Really? Why Our Fears Don't Always Match the Facts, that reprises much of the analysis of risk misperception that the late Aaron Wildavsky pioneered back in the 1980s (see especially Wildavsky's book with Mary Douglas, Risk and Culture—a true classic).
I decided to sit down and do a very short video (2:47 long) with David setting out a few summary points of how he thinks about this issue for the environmentaltrends.org site where I am the grand poohbah, but it's also suitable for Power Line:
