tekmar Control Systems, a Watts Water Technologies company, has expanded a homeowner's ability to control relative humidity, temperature setpoint, and snow melting through their home automation system. tekmar is now offering a free firmware update for its tN4 Gateway 482 which integrates tekmar HVAC controls with a home automation system to support these options.
"tekmar has always been committed to offering homeowners comfort and peace of mind. By offering seamless integration between our industry-leading controls and 3rd-party home automation systems, home automation integrators have additional features for their customers, and homeowners have more options for centralized control," said Greg Leupin, sales & marketing manager for tekmar.
Once updated with the free firmware, the Gateway 482 can serve as a bridge between a tekmarNet® Thermostat 557 and a 3rd-party home automation system to control relative humidity.
Controlling relative humidity improves comfort, enhances health, and protects artwork and musical instruments from excessive or very low relative humidity levels. The Gateway 482 also works with tekmar's flush-mount Humidity and Temperature Sensor 086, meaning the thermostat and sensors can be hidden in the wall for flexible interior design.
The Gateway 482 can also connect the tekmarNet® Setpoint Control 162 to a home automation system to enable temperature control of pools, tubs, fountains, and other similar equipment.
For homeowners who want snow-and ice-free driveways, sidewalks, and patios, the Gateway 482 can be used to connect tekmar's Snow Melting Control 654 and an automatic snow melt sensor to the home automation system. This gives homeowners the ability to start and stop their snow melting system remotely.
tekmar Control Systems, a Watts Water Technologies company is proud to announce that its Boiler Control 284, the next generation in control for mixed boiler plant operations, has been presented with Honorable Mention in the Building Automation Category of the 2014 AHR Expo Innovation Awards.
The Boiler Control 284 is designed to operate up to four boilers to accurately maintain a target water temperature and communicates directly with building automation systems through BACnet® or Modbus®. The new control will be on display in the Watts Water Booth #2631 at the AHR Expo January 21-23, 2014, in New York, NY.
"We're honored to be recognized by a panel of experts in the HVACR industry," said Nathan Floyd, General Manager for tekmar Control Systems. "It is because of the hard work and dedication of each person at tekmar that we are celebrating this success today, and we will continue our efforts to focus on innovative system solutions for HVAC."
The Boiler Control 284 provides complete integration of the mechanical equipment in the heating plant for operating multiple heating loads. It controls both condensing and non-condensing boilers that are modulating, single stage, or two stage to provide a flexible, cost-effective mixed boiler plant operation.
The connection to building automation systems (BAS) allows installers and building managers to remotely monitor boiler operation, plant temperatures, system pressure, flow rates, and pump operation using the BAS network.
The 284 is also designed to prolong the lifespan of equipment. Primary pump sequencing prevents downtime by automatically operating a second pump if a failure is detected. Other reliability features include pump exercising, equal run-time rotation, and boiler minimum & maximum temperature settings.
TORONTO, Nov. 2, 2011/CNW/ - Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and imported tile top many homeowners "must have" lists when they are renovating or building a new home. But the majority of checklists are missing one vital component that will make their home perfect in every way: a radiant home heating system. An essential finishing touch for all homeowners who are creating the perfect home, radiant heat is the healthiest, most energy efficient and architecturally versatile heating option available in Canada today.
Unlike a traditional forced air heating system which forces hot air into a cold space, a radiant system uses water's own natural heat retention to spread warmth. Warm water flows through a network of tubes in floors, walls and baseboards, ensuring uniform and even heat in every corner of every room. It also creates a warm, comfortable environment at a lower thermostat setting, and provides zone controls that allow homeowners to lower the temperature in rooms they use less frequently. The result is a home with lower energy bills.
"Radiant heat is quite simply the finest home heating system you will ever experience," says John Goshulak, Heating Ambassador, Beautiful Heat. "When Canadians experience the benefits of radiant heating they will never look back. The air is cleaner, the heat is uniform and there are endless design options. It is the right choice for homeowners who want a home that is perfect in every way."
By eliminating the need for fans, blowers or vents in the floors, radiant heat does not circulate dust, pollutants or allergens, creating a healthier environment that is ideal for allergy sufferers or homes with pets. Not only will the air be cleaner, a radiant system's ductless design, creates extra space by eliminating bulky ductwork and ensures each room in the home has clean, elegant lines uninterrupted by vents or registers.
"When we built our home last year we chose to install radiant heat because it has so many benefits," says Mario Furtado, homeowner and owner, Marana Kitchen. "Not only do our rooms look much bigger without all the bulky ductwork of a forced air system, our heating bill is 40% lower, and our investment will likely pay for itself in less than five years. With the ability to control the temperature in every room of our house, we both feel warm and comfortable all the time ― even in our basement. However, the best thing about radiant heat is waking up to a warm house with warm floors during the cold winter months…and at our age, we deserve it."
A national survey conducted by Ipsos Reid on behalf of Beautiful Heat reveals Canadians have a "wish list" of things they would like to have in their homes. Switching to radiant home heating would make many of these items a reality:
Thinking Green
Health Matters
Limitless Design
"Although radiant heating systems are relatively new to Canada, radiant heat has been used for centuries, including by the Romans," says Goshulak. "In Europe, radiant systems are the preferred heating method and are used in 95% of European homes today."
Radiant heating works with any kind of floor covering including hardwood, tile or carpet and can be installed over or under existing sub-floors, in concrete slabs and in walls and along baseboards. Radiant heating can also be extended to luxury features like towel warming, and walkway or driveway snow melting.
Although costs to install radiant home heating may be higher than other heating options, in the long run, radiant heating is the most energy-efficient and cost-effective heating system available.
About the Beautiful Heat Ipsos Reid Survey
Ipsos Reid conducted a poll on behalf of Beautiful Heat from September 19-26, 2011. For this survey, a national sample of 1,003 homeowners from Ipsos' Canadian online panel was interviewed online. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100 per cent response rate would have an estimated margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points 19 times out of 20 of what the results would have been had the entire population of homeowners in Canada been polled. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to, coverage error and measurement error.

Some 1,430 pharmacists working for Kaiser Permanente facilities across Southern California may go on strike starting Monday, a top official with the Guild for Professional Pharmacists said this week.
The union has taken a strike vote and if progress is not made in negotiations, the pharmacists will strike effective at 7 a.m., said president of the guild Robin Borden in a telephone interview.
One of the key issues, Borden said, "is the fact that the union gave up pension benefits three years ago after being told that other bargaining units would be asked to do the same."
But that didn't happen to the other groups, Borden said.
"We trustingly took the deal and gave away the pension for higher wages. Now three years have gone by and everyone else still has their pension. We believe we were misled and pharmacists want their pension back and have offered to give up a percentage of their salary in return," Borden said. "We feel like stepchildren."
If the strike occurs, Borden said Kaiser would likely enter into an agreement with a large national drug store chain to provide services to its patients.
But an outside company would not be able to review the patient's medical records for the possibility of dangerous reactions from the combination of certain drugs.
In a statement Kaiser Permanente said, "it is important to note that all Kaiser Permanente health services are open and operating as usual to serve our members who should continue to come to our facilities for their appointments, lab tests, scheduled procedures, and to see their doctors.
"We believe the bargaining table is the best place to resolve differences and address the interests we both share. With the good faith involvement of all concerned, we are optimistic that we will continue to make progress toward a contract agreement," the Kaiser statement said.

The NFL Players' Association says former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue made the right call in rescinding the suspensions of four players in the Saints' bounty case, and the union is happy for Scott Fujita, Will Smith, Anthony Hargrove and Jonathan Vilma.
In a statement released shortly after Tagliabue ruled that the four players couldn't be suspended, the NFLPA expressed vindication.
"We believe that when a fair due process takes place, a fair outcome is the result," the statement said. "We are pleased that Paul Tagliabue, as the appointed hearings officer, agreed with the NFL Players Association that previously issued discipline was inappropriate in the matter of the alleged New Orleans Saints bounty program. Vacating all discipline affirms the players' unwavering position that all allegations the League made about their alleged 'intent-to-injure' were utterly and completely false. We are happy for our members."
In other words, while the league may be spinning this as some kind of victory for its side, the union says the real victory lies with the players.

A Different Kind of Adventure
Posted on May 25, 2011 by Dr. Rebecca Landa
We see a lot of special and inspiring families at Kennedy Krieger. Shannon and Kurt Berman, along with their son Cooper, are perfect examples.
Throughout the pregnancy with Cooper, and from the time he was born, his parents were determined to give him a multicultural upbringing. Having lived and worked all over the world themselves, they strongly believed in the importance of raising him in different countries, submerged in different cultures and adventure. But when Cooper was diagnosed with autism, they worried that their plans would have to be laid aside and that their goal of raising their son internationally might be impossible.
By the time Cooper had turned 1 year old, his parents had already become worried about odd behaviors, which only seemed to be getting worse. Like so many of the children I see with autism, he seemed disconnected, didn't make eye contact, screamed and cried unexplainably, and demonstrated repetitive behaviors, such as opening and closing doors over and over and over again. At the time when these unusual behaviors began to emerge, Cooper and his parents were living on a small island of Thailand, in the middle of the Indian Ocean. People there don't even believe in developmental disabilities, let alone offer treatment for them. Continue reading →

Drum-Dried Sweet Potato Available Year-Round
Though traditionally enjoyed as a Thanksgiving side dish, the surprising health benefits and naturally sweet taste of sweet potato can be added to meals throughout the year thanks to Drum-dried Sweet Potato offerings from Van Drunen Farms.
The sweet potato, native to Central America, is rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion. It is also high in beta carotene (vitamin A), a source of vitamin E, and virtually fat-free.
Both sweet and savory, sweet potato pairs well with cinnamon, honey and nutmeg and can be added to baked deserts, breads, puddings, casseroles, stews and croquettes.
Drum-drying sweet potato produces a high-quality dried product which reconstitutes immediately, and retains its flavor, color and nutritional value.

I am doing a little clean up, and then I will need to make sure my changes do not affect others (by "#ifdef BSD"). It still does not get the correct system information yet, but some of the job accounting info is there (at least run time is correct 8-) ). It is now running for several hours, it looks stable. It ran several tens of jobs. "qstat", "qhost", "qacct", "qconf", "qdel" look fine, output makes sense (but need to implement the resource info collecting routines). I will post the patches tomorrow, together with some output of the commands.

"Genius" Gene Wilder's Touching Final Moments Revealed
Tributes have been pouring in following the sad news of "genius" Gene Wilder's passing, which broke earlier today.
And now the actor's nephew, Jordan Walker-Pearlman, has released a touching statement describing his beloved uncle's final moments, when the family held hands and listened to Somewhere Over The Rainbow.
"He was eighty-three and passed holding our hands with the same tenderness and love he exhibited as long as I can remember," the beautiful tribute reads.
"As our hands clutched and he performed one last breath the music speaker, which was set to random, began to blare out one of his favourites: Ella Fitzgerald.
"There is a picture of he and Ella meeting at a London Bistro some years ago that are among each our cherished possessions.
She was singing Somewhere Over The Rainbow as he was taken away."
Earlier in the note, Mr Walker-Pearlman had also revealed that the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory legend had deliberately kept his Alzheimer's diagnosis quiet because "he simply couldn't bear the idea of one less smile in the world."
"It is almost unbearable for us to contemplate our life without him," Mr Walker-Pearlman continues. "The cause was complications from Alzheimer's Disease with which he co-existed for the last three years.
"The decision to wait until this time to disclose his condition wasn't vanity, but more so that the countless young children that would smile or call out to him "there's Willy Wonka" would not have to be then exposed to an adult referencing illness or trouble and causing delight to travel to worry, disappointment or confusion.
"He continued to enjoy art, music and kissing with his leading lady of the last twenty-five years, Karen.
"He danced down a church aisle at a wedding as parent of the groom and ring bearer, held countless afternoon movie western marathons and delighted in the company of beloved ones."
Mr Walker-Pearlman, who signed the note as "Gene's kid", concluded with a poignant quote from the two-time Oscar nominee.
"We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams."

Taylor Swift to Finally Meet Cancer-Stricken Fan Who Was Supposed to Be Her 2012 ACMs Date
There is a happy ending to this story! Last year, New Jersey teen Kevin McGuire, who was suffering from cancer and in need of a bone marrow transplant, asked Taylor Swift to prom via a Facebook campaign. Despite everyone's best efforts, things didn't work out as planned. Luckily for McGuire, he's getting a second chance in more ways than one!
Here's a refresher of the events: Swift had to decline the prom invite due to scheduling conflicts, but she did turn around and ask McGuire to be her date to the 2012 ACMs. He said yes, but had to bail last minute when he got really sick with a high fever, despite wearing a medical mask in the days before to prevent any illness ruining his chance to squire Swift to a major country awards show. It was a major bum out, and he had to watch from the couch, as he was deemed medically unable to travel.
Swift even thanked McGuire during her speech after winning Entertainer of the Year, which was equally bittersweet.
Fast forward to 2013 and McGuire was the recipient of a bone marrow transplant from his little brother and is in much better health. He is also attending this year's ACMs, which take place tomorrow, April 7.
An update on his Facebook page read as follows:
The president of the award show-Mr. Romeo-has been in touch with our family checking on Kevin since his transplant, and invited us a couple months ago! As soon as we land in Vegas we are meeting up with TAYLOR SWIFT!
It is great how this all worked out, it truly came full circle; Kevin is fully healthy this year and will be able to enjoy everything! Thank you for being apart of our journey!
McGuire's sister Tori even said that Swift played a part in her brother's recovery from afar. "She's a big part of the reason Kevin survived, too, because she just lifted his spirits so much," she said. "It's kind of like the big finale to this awful dream that we've had."
So McGuire got a second chance to meet Swift and at life! Amen to that.

In a dramatic reorganization at NBCUniversal, respected programmer Bonnie Hammer has been promoted to lead the company's entire cable entertainment portfolio -- the most lucrative division, which generates approximately 50% of the media giant's operating cash flow.
Hammer will be in charge of all entertainment cable television channels, including USA, Syfy, Bravo, E!, Style,Oxygen and the children's channel Sprout. The management change becomes the third major organizational overhaul in two years in which NBCUniversal Chief Executive Steve Burke has sought to establish a more streamlined structure in a once-Balkanized company.
"Assembling our cable entertainment assets together in one group under Bonnie Hammer's oversight is a logical and important step," Burke said in an email to employees on Monday to announce the changes.
Burke, in an interview, said he has been impressed with Hammer in the two years they have worked together. Her fan base includes many of her lieutenants -- known inside the company as "Team Bonnie."
"For a creative executive, Bonnie is as together and organized as anyone I have ever met," Burke said. "She's the whole package."

Mission Santa Cruz is the twelfth of the original 21 historic Spanish missions in California. The Mission is a working church and has a school as well. There is also a bigger basilica built elsewhere in the complex to accomodate the Santa Cruz community.
The Bay Area is renowned for its natural beauty, affluence, diversity, and progressive thinking new age reputation. Lots of ammenities, tours and hotels can be found all around the area.San Francisco is the cultural and financial center of the Bay Area, and has the second highest population density of any major city in North America after New York City. It is also a major tourist destination, and transport and accommodation is plentiful, ranging from luxury hotels to cheap accommodation. San Jose is the largest city in terms of population, land area, and industrial development, and is the center of Silicon Valley, a well-known high technology region. Oakland is a major manufacturing and distribution center, rail terminus/hub, and has the fourth largest container shipping port in the United States.Largely because of San Francisco and Silicon Valley, the Bay Area presently ranks second only to the much larger New York City region in number of Fortune 500 company headquarters (April 2010 Fortune Magazine). source: wikipedia

A week ago on a rainy day, I sprained my ankle on my way to work. I should have gone home because I almost broke my other foot that same day. X-rays and CT scans later, I have a few small longitudinal lesions on my tendons which is disabling my ability to bend my toes. I decided to tough it out last Friday and head with R to the gym to start training again.
I think I lasted all of 10 minutes into the warm up when I jammed my toes horribly and had to get a bag of ice to calm down the re-aggravated injury. Needless to say, I didn't start training that day. I stayed to watch the class but it made me even more frustrated knowing that it's difficult for me to learn without actually putting my body through the paces. Class was attacking from the turtle position and the resulting clock choke. R promised to drill this with me at home when the foot starts to behave itself.
Saturday was a local BJJ tournament hosted by our gym. R spent the day refereeing on one of the mats and I brought the pup along to watch the competitions. It was exciting to see old friends and teammates compete and do extremely well on the mats! It just made me realize how much I seem to have fallen behind in my own training.
I have just under one month to get back into it and hopefully register for my very first tournament! I would have been officially training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for eight months at that point and want to get used to that 'OhmygodI'msonervousIneedtothrowup' feeling. I'm told you don't really get used to it per-say. It's more that your body is accustomed to the adrenaline and doesn't think it's nausea. Superb.
I'm on a goal to drop weight and train hard for the next 5 weeks.
Here we go, wish me luck!

Dead Rising 3 Not Coming to Germany
The Xbox One launch in Germany will be minus one major title, as the ratings board has denied Dead Rising 3 a rating.
Dead Rising 3 is one of the few console exclusives launching on the Xbox One, but not every market will be getting the sequel. As it turns out, the German ratings board has not approved Dead Rising 3 for sale next month.
"Dead Rising 3 will not be released in Germany as part of the Xbox One launch line-up on Nov. 22 having been unable to attain an age-rating upon review by BPjM (Bundeprüfstelle für jugendgefährende Medien), the country's entertainment software self-regulation body," a Microsoft said in a statement to Destructoid.
"While Microsoft is disappointed with this decision, we respect the views of the review panel and have withdrawn Dead Rising 3 from Germany's Xbox One launch line-up. Dead Rising 3 will still be available in all other launch markets on Nov. 22."
There's still a chance Dead Rising 3 could see release in Germany with some tweaking. This isn't the first time a game has been denied for release overseas, though it's typically something we hear about Australia. We'll be keeping a close eye on further developments, but at least we can take some solace in knowing we'll be able to play Dead Rising 3 here in the States when the Xbox One arrives.
