text: Hi everyone, We add a little working 9-node cluster and everything was working fine, but... when we bought 15 new nodes things went VERY bad: the new nodes didn't work! We tried everything: changed the switch, the ethernet cards and the software but while the old nodes kept doing their job the news ones just weren't reliable. Finaly we took the new nodes into a separate cluster but every time we run a parallel job one of them goes down (we have to do a hand reboot), also we tested the nodes one by one with serial programs that really push the memory and the processor and they work fine. At about the same time we bought these nodes we also bought a few other ones for another cluster and they work fine. The only thing they have diferent is the motherboard. Does anyone knows if ASUS A7V266-C as experienced network problems? If so how can they be solved? Thanks, Nelson Bernardino Centro de Física da Matéria Condensada Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa

During a five-decade career, Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska had so rarely appeared in public that a newspaper dubbed her the "Greta Garbo of poetry" after the notoriously private actress.
But in 1996, Poland's most reticent literary icon was forced to open her door to the world: She had won the Nobel Prize in literature and the world was clamoring for her reaction.
The public attention was so incessant that she stopped writing poems for two years, a consequence she later described, only somewhat jokingly, as "the Stockholm tragedy."
"There's simply too much fuss about myself," she told a London newspaper in 2000 after the Nobel "tornado" had begun to quiet. "Everyone needs solitude, especially a person who is used to thinking about what she experiences."
Szymborska, 88, a heavy smoker who died of lung cancer Wednesday in Krakow, converted her experiences into poetry that the Swedish Academy said evinced the creative ease of a Mozart and the fury of a Beethoven.
Called Poland's "guardian spirit" by Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski, she expanded her audience with the publication in English of her collection "View With a Grain of Sand," in 1995. Her admirers ranged from Czeslaw Milosz, the Polish poet who won the Nobel in 1980, to filmmaker Woody Allen.
"She is able to capture the pointlessness and sadness of life, but somehow still be affirmative," Allen said in a rare documentary about Szymborska that was broadcast in the U.S. in 2010. The title of the film, taken from a comment she made, was "Sometimes Life Is Bearable."
Szymborska (whose full name is pronounced vee-SWAHV-ah shimm-BOR-skah), wrote about weighty subjects — the nature of the soul, totalitarianism, death — with beguiling clarity and a sense of wonder.
"Her poetry is hardly political except in the sense it resists the kind of certainty that you would expect from those who want to assert power," said Robert Faggen, a Claremont McKenna College literature professor who met Szymborska in 2009 and heard her read at a celebration of Milosz's work in Krakow.
"She was clear and bold without trying to be entertaining or effusive," recalled Faggen, who has taught courses on Polish poetry. "Her poetry is that way. It's very clear, it's bold, it's surprising but … she avoids the histrionic, the effusive. She always keeps a little distance from her text. I think that gives it a great deal of edge."
Szymborska, who wrote 400 poems and published about 20 volumes, once described her style this way: "I borrow words weighed with pathos and then try hard to make them seem light."
Critics noted that her poems often begin with small observations that lead to broader awakenings, as in "A Little Girl Tugs at the Tablecloth," in which a toddler unfamiliar with the law of gravity investigates "things that don't move by themselves."
They don't all want to go, e.g., the bookshelf,
the cupboard, the unyielding walls, the table.
But the table cloth on the stubborn table
-- when well-seized by its hems --
manifests a willingness to travel.
And the glasses, plates,
creamer, spoons, bowl,
are fairly shaking with desire
She was also known for her ability to shift perspective, demonstrated in her oft-cited "Cat in the Empty Apartment," which looks at death from the viewpoint of a cat that has lost its master:
Die—you can't do that to a cat.
Since what can a cat do
in an empty apartment?
Climb the walls?
Rub up against the furniture?
Nothing seems different here,
but nothing is the same.
Nothing has been moved,
but there's more space.
And at nighttime no lamps are lit.
Although Szymborska, who was once described by Milosz as a "reverse-confessional" poet, was writing about death from a distance, the subtext of "Cat" was highly personal. A friend told The Times it was spurred by the death of a longtime companion with whom she shared the animal.
Szymborska was married twice. Her first marriage, to poet Adam Wlodek, ended in divorce. Her second husband, Kornel Filipowicz, died in the early 1990s. She had no children.
Born in the small west Polish town of Bnin on July 2, 1923, she moved to Krakow when she was 8. Her father gave her pocket money every time she wrote a poem. "You could say I started making my living as a poet from the age of 5," she told the Washington Post in 1998. "He didn't notice that sometimes I gave him the same poem twice."
She lived through tremendous upheavals, including the German occupation in 1939 and the Soviet invasion and repression that followed. In 1945, when she entered Krakow's Jagiellonian University, she joined a circle of writers and published her first poem.
By 1949 she completed her first collection, but it paid insufficient tribute to the ideals of the postwar Communist regime and was rejected. Her next collection, "That's What We Live For," was deemed more politically correct — one critic described it as "agitation-propaganda in a chamber-music manner" — and was published in 1952.
Szymborska later renounced her early poems, calling the social-realist style she had adopted "a mistake of my youth." A shift in her political thinking was apparent by 1957 when her third volume, "Calling Out to Yeti," was published. In one of its poems she compared Josef Stalin to the Abominable Snowman.
She reportedly resigned from the Polish Socialist Party in 1966. She worked as a critic for a literary magazine for almost 30 years. In the 1980s she joined an underground magazine and became active in the Solidarity movement that helped topple the Communist government.
"My life as a citizen of this country has changed dramatically since Solidarity," she told The Times in 1996, "but my life as a poet has not."
She published a collection every six or seven years, writing by hand in a modest apartment with a view of a parking lot. Though rarely seen on the streets of Krakow, she had a tight circle of friends and wrote them letters in limericks, a form that she delighted in. Her personal secretary, Michal Rusinek, told Polish television this week that she was composing poems until she died.
From her "Poems New and Collected" (2000):
when it comes you'll be dreaming
that you don't need to breathe;
that breathless silence is
the music of the dark
and it's part of the rhythm
to vanish like a spark.

Because each imqcmd subcommand is authenticated against the user repository, it requires a user name and password. The only exceptions are commands that use the -h or -H option to display help, and those that use the -v option to display the product version.
Use the -u option to specify an administrative user name. For example, the following command displays information about the default broker:
imqcmd query bkr -u admin
If you omit the user name, the command will prompt you for it.
For simplicity, the examples in this chapter use the default user name admin as the argument to the -u option. In a real-life production environment, you would use a custom user name.
Specify the password using one of the following methods:
Create a password file and enter the password into that file as the value of the imq.imqcmd.password property. On the command line, use the -passfile option to provide the name of the password file.
Let the imqcmd command prompt you for the password.
In previous versions of Message Queue, you could use the -p option to specify a password on the imqcmd command line. As of Message Queue 4.0, this option is deprecated and is no longer supported; you must instead use one of the methods listed above.

Guess what? Microsoft is the baddie again.
The European Commission has accused Microsoft of ignoring its legal obligations under a 2009 antitrust settlement agreement by failing to offer European users a "browser ballot." The ballot is supposed to inform European computer users of multiple Web browsers available for the Windows platform and enable them to set a default browser that's not Internet Explorer. But from February 2011 to July 2012, millions of European users probably did not see the required ballot, meaning Microsoft could potentially be on the hook for many billions of dollars.
What's the big deal here? Surely most computer users are aware they can download and install any browser they like on their PC? And why is Microsoft required to present a browser ballot and un-bundle Internet Explorer, but Apple can bake its Safari browser (and WebKit) deep into both iOS and OS X without any government scrutiny? What does any of this mean for Microsoft's tablet-centric Windows RT?
EU browser ballot
Windows users in Europe have been confronted with a browser choice ballot since 2009 as part of the Microsoft broader antitrust settlement with the European Union. Among other things, Microsoft was accused of abusing Window's dominant status in the desktop operating system market to give Internet Explorer a major advantage in the browser wars. Microsoft argued bundling IE with Windows was just innovation, and it was no longer meaningful to think of Internet Explorer and Windows as separate things, but European authorities disagreed. Microsoft was required to let PC makers pre-install and ship any browser they liked with Windows (although most stuck with IE), let users uninstall IE if they liked, and offer Windows users a ballot with a choice between a wide variety of other browsers they can download and install. The browser ballot does include IE, but presents browsers randomly to avoid fights over placement. The settlement agreement requires the ballot to be offered through 2014.
Just one problem: When Microsoft released Windows 7 Service Pack 1 in February 2011, Windows stopped showing the browser ballot to many European users. Microsoft has admitted that the browser choice ballot was not displayed, blaming the trouble on a technical error that it corrected within a single business day of hearing about the problem. (However, Microsoft somehow avoided hearing about the problem for almost 18 months.) Microsoft estimated some 28 million Windows 7 PCs that should have seen the browser ballot did not, but the glitch also impacted an unstated number of systems running versions of Windows XP and Vista.
The browser ballot wasn't the full scope of Microsoft's settlement with the European Union, and has generally been derided as a weak solution to the larger issue of Microsoft stifling browser competition by bundling Internet Explorer with Windows. However, it is the most public example of changes Microsoft has had to make to avoid antitrust scrutiny, and it may have had an impact: according to StatCounter, Internet Explorer has been eclipsed by both Firefox and Google Chrome in Europe since the browser ballot went into effect.
Microsoft's settlement with the EU is legally binding. If Microsoft is found to have violated the terms of that settlement, the company could be on the hook for as much as 10 percent of its global annual revenue. For Microsoft's 2012 fiscal year, that would total up to almost $7.4 billion. The EU could also decide to impose additional requirements on how Microsoft operates within the European Union. For Microsoft, the stakes are high. Microsoft has four weeks to respond and can request an oral hearing. However, the EU will almost certainly see calls to give Microsoft more than a slap on the wrist.
"If companies enter into commitments, they must do what they have committed to do or face the consequences," noted European Commission President Joaquín Almunia, in a statement. "Companies should be deterred from any temptation to renege on their promises or even to neglect their duties."
What about Apple?
Whenever we cover news about Microsoft's legal obligations and what regulatory agencies like the Justice Department and the European Commission have to say about Windows, Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, and other products, we always get questions about Apple. Why doesn't Apple have to serve up a browser ballot in OS X? How can Apple bake its Safari browser into iOS (and make it perform better than any third-party browser) without antitrust authorities crying foul? Basically: Why does Microsoft get a hard time while Apple gets a free ride?
It's easy to understand why folks ask these questions. After all, at Apple's high-profile media event yesterday, Apple CEO Tim Cook lauded Apple's performance in the PC market, noting that Apple not only makes the number one desktop and notebook computers in the U.S. market, but also is seeing its computer business grow about seven times faster than the rest of the PC industry — where the PC world will be lucky to see 2 percent growth for 2012, Apple is looking at 15 percent.
Isn't Apple's curated approach to Macs and the iOS ecosystem just another way of saying Apple locks out competition?
Why Apple isn't getting scrutiny
The reasons Apple skates clear of antitrust scrutiny for its Mac and iOS lines have to do with market share and how the company conducts business.
On the desktop and notebook computer side, Apple may be seeing its computer business grow at a faster rate than the overall PC market, but Apple is not a dominant player. Recent figures from IDC and Gartner don't even put Apple in the top five PC makers worldwide, and Gartner places Apple third in the U.S. market with a 13.6 percent share. Apple may have the number one desktop and notebook computers in the U.S. market, but it shipped fewer than half the number of computers as HP. What's more, these figures represent near-historic highs for Apple; it's tough to argue Apple has somehow been abusing a dominant position in the PC market and needs to be reined in by governments. Moreover, since Apple doesn't license its operating system, Apple's computer sales are also representative of OS X's share of the desktop market. The vast majority of all computers sold from other manufacturers are running Windows — so Microsoft remains the dominant player in the operating systems market.
On the mobile side, the success of the iPhone and the iPad means Apple has a much stronger presence…but guess what? Apple isn't the market leader in mobile either — that's Android. According to IDC, in the second quarter of 2012 Android accounted for 68.1 percent of the worldwide smartphone market; Kantar Worldpanel Comtech recently found Android accounted for more than 60 percent of the global smartphone market, and two-thirds of the European mobile market. The iPad does currently account for 70 percent of the tablet market, but remember the iPad got there first, and the market is new enough that being first still carries weight. Amazon, Google, and Samsung are all aggressively marketing Android-based tablets, and Microsoft is about to enter the market with its Surface products.
But even if the iPad continues to be the dominant tablet line for years to come — and regulators eventually decide smartphones and tablets are separate markets — Apple likely will still not be subject to the kind of antitrust scrutiny visited on Microsoft over the years. Microsoft drew the ire of regulators not just for having a dominant position in the desktop operating system market (that's not illegal, and neither is a monopoly), but for abusing that position. Among other things, Microsoft cut deals with computer makers to dictate what software could and could not be included on new systems, fiddled with its APIs so Internet Explorer and other Microsoft applications would have an inherent advantage over competitors, and used its Windows monopoly as a distribution channel for Internet Explorer with the intention of wiping out competitors like Netscape.
With one possible exception, Apple isn't capable of committing these abuses. Apple doesn't license its operating system, so it can't strong arm partners who make iOS devices — there aren't any. Similarly, with Android the dominant mobile operating system, it's difficult to argue Apple deciding to bundle capabilities into iOS — like Photo Stream and iCloud, for instance — constitutes an abuse. Competitors can (and are) offering similar services for iOS (Dropbox, Instagram, anyone?) and are free to develop for Android, Windows Phone, Windows RT, or even BlackBerry or Symbian if they like.
What might happen to Microsoft?
Although Microsoft is undoubtedly in hot water for breaking the browser ballots (and thus the terms of its settlement with the European Commission), few expect the company will be on the hook for billions of dollars over the issue.
Microsoft doesn't seem to be slithering out of its mistake. "Although this was the result of a technical error, we take responsibility for what happened, and we are strengthening our internal procedures to help ensure something like this cannot happen again," the company said in a statement. Microsoft has suggested it be required to display the browser choice ballot for an additional 15 months, which would mean European Windows users would see a browser choice screen through at least 2015. The European Commission hasn't commented on that suggestion, or any possible sanctions against Microsoft.
However, Microsoft is also unlikely to see any antitrust action over browsers in Windows RT — at least, not anytime soon. Right now, Windows RT accounts for essentially zero percent of the mobile or tablet market, so Microsoft can't possibly be abusing a dominant position. Competitors might argue Microsoft's existing antitrust settlements in the United States and the European Union should be extended to Windows RT, but that's also difficult. In the United States, federal oversight of Microsoft formally concluded in mid-2011. Oversight in the EU is still ongoing — hence the scuffle over the browser ballot — and terms of the settlement could conceivably be applied to ARM-based devices running Windows RT. However, regulators will probably wait to see if Windows RT goes anywhere. After all, Windows Phone has been out for two years, and nobody is worried about Microsoft abusing its monopoly power there.

Uniquely American luxury-car design; good handling; CTS-V's world-class performance; comfortable interior; quiet, smooth ride for a sport sedan; loaded, even for a luxury car
The Cadillac CTS family has grown in recent years and now includes three different body styles: Sedan, Coupe and Wagon. Across most of the lineup, the CTS is offered in Luxury, Performance and Premium guises, although the Coupe and Wagon are also offered in a base version and the Coupe skips the Luxury setup.
The powertrain lineup for the CTS includes two V6 engines, manual or automatic transmissions and rear- or all-wheel drive. The base engine is a 270-horsepower, 3.0L V6 for base and Luxury models, while Performance and Premium models step up to a 318-horsepower, 3.6L V6. Both engines incorporate direct-injection technology and variable valve timing to help optimize power without sacrificing efficiency or smoothness, and models with the 3.0L engine come with EPA fuel economy ratings of up to 27 mpg highway.
All CTS models are engineered as proper sport sedans, including a short/long-arm independent front suspension and multi-link rear suspension, with an isolated subframe in back, plus power hydraulic-assist rack-and-pinion steering and a sophisticated electronic chassis control system to help aid handling yet keep it safe.
All three body styles have essentially the same instrument panel, and many of the same interior appointments. Key differences, of course, are that the Wagon gets somewhat longer rear doors for easier entry, and that it has more cargo space and better versatility once the seatbacks are folded forward. Coupes offer more of a challenge in entry and exit to passengers, but once in there's a reasonably good amount of space.
Top-performance CTS-V models include a tremendously strong 556-horsepower, 6.2L supercharged V8, with either a 6-speed manual transmission or 6-speed automatic and rear-wheel drive. This model comes with a long list of performance upgrades, including huge Brembo 6-piston front brake calipers and 4-piston ones in back, along with Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 high-performance tires.
Throughout the entire lineup, for 2013, the CTS's front grille has been updated with a brighter look and finish, while models with the Touring Package get a darker appearance at the front. Otherwise, the CTS lineup maintains a look that's simultaneously aerodynamic and sleek yet chunky and sharply creased, with the look helping to give the CTS a wide, aggressive stance. Inside, the CTS has an instrument panel that's like that of no other luxury car either, with a V-shaped control stack and a navigation-system screen that elevates upward, to display the full screen only when it's needed. The look is more flamboyant that that of most German cars, while trims and materials are just as good.
Standard equipment on the CTS includes 10-way-adjustable power front seats with driver memory settings, heated front seats, leather upholstery, interior ambient lighting, a rear-view camera system, Rainsense wipers and a universal garage-door opener--all features that are optional in many luxury sport sedans. Other standard features include Bluetooth phone connectivity, ultrasonic rear park assist on the Premium and an adaptive vehicle start system. The Premium models also get a heated steering wheel, UltraView power sunroof and heated-and-cooled Recaro sport seats.
On Luxury or Premium models, there's an optional Touring Package that brings microfiber suede steering-wheel and shift-knob trim, sport alloy pedals, chrome door handles, a sport grille, a special V-Series center brake light, Midnight Sapele wood trim, Recaro performance seats on the Premium model, and 18-inch pearl nickel on the Luxury or 19-inch polished aluminum wheels on the Premium.
A so-called Performance Package is included in Luxury models with the Touring Package, as well as all Performance and Premium models, adding fog lamps, HID headlamps, upgraded wheels, a limited-slip differential, performance brakes and a sport suspension. And for those enthusiasts in warm, dry climates there's a special summer-tire Performance Package that brings Y-rated performance tires on 19-inch polished aluminum wheels, steering-wheel paddle-shifters, performance cooling upgrades, and a limited-slip differential.
Changes to the Cadillac CTS lineup for 2013 are limited to a restyled grille and a newly standard adaptive remote vehicle starter. Three new exterior colors--Glacier Blue Metallic, Silver Coast Metallic and Summer Gold Metallic--are available.
The Cadillac CTS is a family of mid-size premium sport sedans (or coupes, or wagons) that is somewhat closer in size to the BMW 5-Series and Audi A6 but competes more with the 3-Series and A4 families--as well as the INFINITI G37. Compared to most of these other models, the CTS has a different, uniquely American style inside and out that really sets it apart in the market. It's also very competitive with other luxury models when it comes to pricing and features. And while it doesn't yet offer Cadillac's CUE interface that's in the ATS sport sedan and XTS luxury sedan, it offers a very well-designed pop-up navigation system and top-notch premium audio.
Meanwhile the CTS-V models are fully competitive with the likes of the BMW M3 or M5, the Jaguar XFR-S, and the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. Cadillac boasts that it was the first production 4-door model using street tires to break the 8-minute barrier on Germany's Nurburgring test track.

CAIRO — An Egyptian court sentenced 102 alleged Islamists to 10 year in prison Saturday for rioting as campaigning began for the country's upcoming May presidential election.
The case in Cairo is one of several mass trials held in Egypt amid a crackdown against Islamists and supporters of toppled President Mohammed Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood group. Retired Field Marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, who led the July 3 overthrow of Morsi, is widely expected to win the coming May 26-27 presidential election on a wave of nationalist fervor sweeping Egypt.
His only opponent, leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, kicked off his campaign Saturday from the southern city of Assiut, promising to "achieve democracy, development and freedom for each Egyptian." Sabahi told journalists that he chose southern Egypt because he hopes to eliminate poverty and unemployment, as well as end previous policies that concentrated development on the capital and marginalized the south, where Islamists hold sway.
Later in the day, Sabahi vowed he would keep the military out of politics if he became president. He also vowed to abolish a divisive law that bans protests not approved by police, a measure that's seen activists arrested and imprisoned.
"It is not appropriate to overburden (the military) or to get in middle of political conflict," Sabahi said.
El-Sissi launched his election campaign on Twitter after midnight with the hashtag "Long Live Egypt." Later on the day, his campaign posted its first video clip for el-Sissi that appeared to have been taken during an interview with local television networks that's scheduled to be aired Monday.
El-Sissi posters in Cairo present him as a strongman in "the fight against terror" — referring to the wave of Islamic militant attacks that followed Morsi's ouster.
Meanwhile, a judge sentenced the 102 Islamists to prison on charges of violently rioting in a Cairo neighborhood and possession of weapons. Egypt's state news agency said the ruling puts the defendants under police surveillance for a period of five years when their prison sentences end. Two other defendants were sentenced to seven years in the case.
The prosecutors charged the defendants with gathering illegally with intent to inflict material and moral harm to others and public property, which led to one death.

Sanitary, Safe and Reliable Stainless Steel Keyboards
Noax Technologies has developed two stainless steel keyboards with hygienic designs to accompany its industrial PCs and industrial thin clients. One keyboard has a protective film and one keyboard functions on piezoelectric principles.
Similar to the industrial PCs, these input devices have been specially designed for use in extremely demanding conditions. They can withstand temperatures from -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) and still function despite fierce requirements. Their suitability for industrial applications stems primarily from a completely sealed, dust-free and waterproof housing made of V2A stainless steel that is also grease-, oil- and chemical-resistant.

Lord Louis Mountbatten
On November 23, 1979, Thomas McMahon, a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), is sentenced to life imprisonment for preparing and planting the bomb that killed Lord Louis Mountbatten and three others. On August 27, 1979, Lord Mountbatten was killed when McMahon and other IRA terrorists detonated a 50-pound bomb hidden on his fishing vessel Shadow V.
Mountbatten, a World War II hero, elder statesman, and second cousin of Queen Elizabeth II, was spending the day with his family in Donegal Bay off Ireland's northwest coast when the bomb exploded. Three others were killed in the attack, including Mountbatten's 14-year-old grandson, Nicholas. Later that day, an IRA bombing attack on land killed 18 British paratroopers in County Down, Northern Ireland. The assassination of Mountbatten was the first blow struck against the British royal family by the IRA during its long terrorist campaign to drive the British out of Northern Ireland and unite it with the Republic of Ireland to the south. The attack hardened the hearts of many Britons against the IRA and convinced Margaret Thatcher's government to take a hard-line stance against the terrorist organization. The IRA immediately claimed responsibility for the Mountbatten attack, saying it detonated the bomb by remote control from the coast. It also took responsibility for the same-day bombing attack against British troops in County Down, which claimed 18 lives. IRA member Thomas McMahon was later arrested and convicted for his role in the Mountbatten bombing. He was a leader of the IRA's notorious South Armagh Brigade, which killed more than 100 British soldiers. He was one of the first IRA members to be sent to Libya to study detonators and timing devices and was an expert in explosives. Authorities believe the Mountbatten assassination was the work of many people, but McMahon was the only individual convicted. Sentenced to life in prison, he was released in 1998, along with other IRA and Unionist terrorists, under a controversial provision of the Good Friday Agreement, Northern Ireland's peace deal. McMahon claimed he had turned his back on the IRA and was becoming a carpenter.

Website set up by killer's mom upsets co-workers
HARTFORD, Conn. – State officials have launched an investigation into an anti-racism website set up by the mother of a man who killed eight employees at a Manchester beer distribution warehouse.
Lillie Holliday's site, www.ostmemorialfund.com , is set up as a memorial for her son, Omar Thornton and solicits donations to fight institutionalized racism.
"As a mother, I do not want any other mother to experience what I did in losing a son as a result of the impact of racism in the workplace," she says in a statement on the website.
The site provides a link for donations, saying they will "assist in shaping a safer environment for our families and loved ones."
Thornton, who was black, shot 10 people, eight of them fatally, within three minutes on Aug. 3, 2010 at the Hartford Distributors warehouse, before killing himself in what police said was the worst mass shooting ever in Connecticut.
Immediately before the shootings, Thornton was fired for stealing beer. Before killing himself, he called 911 and told an operator: "This place is a racist place. They're treating me bad over here. And treat all other black employees bad over here, too. So I took it to my own hands and handled the problem. I wish I could have got more of the people."
A police investigation concluded there was no evidence to support the claim of racism.
Claudette Carveth, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Consumer Protection, said Wednesday that her department's enforcement division has been investigating the website since receiving a complaint on May 7.
She said they have no record of that memorial fund being registered with the state.
"We will continue to look at this organization, its intent and its practices and make sure they are complying with the law," she said.
Christopher Roos, a manager of the Teamsters local that represents workers at the warehouse, said he and other employees are upset by the site, which he said has opened even more wounds.
"It's basically her insinuating that these guys were racist, the company was racist and that the Teamsters are racist, and that isn't true," he said. "If she wants to have a fund for her son, that's fine, but don't say it's for racism, because that isn't why he did it. He did it because he had psychological problems."
Holliday, who did not immediately return phone calls and emails from The Associated Press, told WTIC-TV she should be allowed to grieve in her own way.
"That is my son. That's my baby. And as his mother, I should have the right to do whatever I want to do in my son's honor," she said. "And I don't know why would that make them upset."
Holliday also said that she plans to use the funds donated to the website to conduct an independent investigation of the shootings.

Introduction: Nanoelectronics and the meaning of resistance
Published on
This lecture provides a brief overview of the five-day short course whose purpose is to introduce a unified viewpoint for a wide variety of nanoscale electronic devices of great interest for all kinds of applications including switching, energy conversion and sensing. Our objective, however, is not to discuss specific devices or applications. Rather it is to convey the conceptual framework underlying the bottom-up approach which not only provides practical insights into the design of nanoscale devices, but also affords conceptual insights into the meaning of resistance and the essence of non-equilibrium phenomena in general. No prior knowledge of quantum mechanics or statistical mechanics is assumed; however, familiarity with matrix algebra will be helpful for some topics.

The Joint Management Board (JMB) of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area (GLTFCA) has welcomed the activities that the IUCN-CESVI Limpopo Transboundary Programme is implementing in the GLTFCA.
The JMB met on the 3rd and 4th of November in Harare, Zimbabwe to review progress on activities of the working committees and to evaluate the status of implementation of the five year Integrated Business Plan of the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park (GLTP). During this meeting, the JMB invited the IUCN-CESVI Limpopo Transboundary Programme to present the activities the programme is implementing in the GLTFCA with support from the Italian Cooperation.
Positive remarks were given by the institutions that took part in the consultative process through three national workshops of stakeholders and one regional meeting.
The JMB meeting also provided the opportunity for the Limpopo Transboundary Programme to establish a formal link with the governing body responsible for the overall integration and set-up of the transfrontier park.
The major contributions of the Limpopo Transboundary Programme to this process are the review of the policy framework; the development of tools for systemic management options and the promotion of initiatives and activities that improve the livelihood of communities living in the boundaries of the park.

Seven Points Marina, located on Raystown Lake in central Pennsylvania was the recipient of Large Marina of the Year Award in 2010 and it still lives up to that title today. The marina was founded by Mr. James Filson, a native of Altoona, Pennsylvania who has been in the marine business for 65 years. The marina is a 941 slip facility, offers seasonal houseboat and pontoon rentals, a marina store and a restaurant. They are open from April to October every year.
"My father and mother started in the marine industry in 1946 and we three children were expected to contribute to the success of the business while we were young. That blossomed into a passion for the industry as well for all the kids. My father and brother, BJ Filson, laid a solid foundation for the business and my sister, Pauline Filson Hetrick. We are now responsible for continuing with his vision. That vision above all is a commitment to service, in a family friendly environment," said Jim's daughter, Pam Filson Prosser.
Seven Points Marina
Originally called Jim's Anchorage, the original marina was on the old Raystown Dam. Mr. Filson, a native of Altoona and a school teacher of history and science in Huntingdon, loved the water and spent his summers building the marina business. The first Jim's Anchorage consisted of one small wood building, fifteen by twenty feet, a steep dirt launch ramp and six docks, all reached by a dusty red shale road. Mr. Filson opened for business with an initial investment of $500 for the purchase of land and four used rowboats. That was in 1946. By 1952 he was operating a snack bar and a small store for the sale and servicing of boating equipment.
The Filson Marina gradually developed into a popular boating, water skiing and fishing center, offering a wide range of activities. The original marina featured ski shows, boat tours, jeep tours and dances during the summer. By 1960 Jim's Anchorage had expanded to include a boat and motor dealership, three different areas for campers and trailers, three additional boat docking areas, a 140 slip marina, rental cottages and 350 acres of land. During this time Jim's wife Margaret, his son and two daughters worked alongside him. The original marina was located about three miles north of the current marina and the old lake was only about 8 miles long with 30 miles of shoreline.
In 1970, the United States Corps of Engineers purchased the original marina as they decided to build a larger reservoir called Raystown Lake. This lake is the largest inland lake in Pennsylvania with 118 miles of shoreline, a 34 miles long pool and 27 miles in the recreational pool. Today, the old marina is 100 feet under the water. Although Jim and his family were discouraged to lose the original business built from scratch and subject to eminent domain, Mr. Filson was fortunate to be the winning bidder for a concession on this new lake called the Seven Points Marina.
In like fashion, Jim started from scratch again and built the marina up. Seven Points Marina has 661 docks that are rented seasonally, 20 transient docks and 265 rack or dry storage docks. In addition, there are 19 houseboats, 9 pontoons and six utility boats that are for rent daily. A restaurant and a store are also on the property as well as the largest breakwater on the lake. This 500 foot breakwater is home to many private houseboats and helps protect the rest of the marina from rough water.
The current marina results from years of upgrades and additions, and Seven Points Marina has had a waiting list since its inception. Over the years, Seven Points built and expanded upon a dry stack facility with a current capacity for 285 boats and expanded its wet slips to 661. The marina has a strategic plan for upgrades over the next 10 years, including researching and designing a floating facility for administrative offices and rental center and a restaurant and floating pier.
The rental fleet of boats serves as integral part of the business. Over the last few years, the marina has invested $200,000 to upgrade the fleet.
In 1946, Peg and Jim Filson bought a piece of land on what was, at the time, a 10-mile lake, and their marina quickly became a focal point of the lake. Now, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers concessionaire, Seven Points Marina continues the tradition, serving boaters and the community with its personal touch.

Okay, so I know it's only Tuesday but I must admit that it feels like a Friday since we have a short work week this week! I LOVE that we have a short week this week, that my family starts to arrive tomorrow, and that I get a long weekend to spend time with family, eat lots of yummy food (I know, I know... Carolyn...make sure to at least try and eat in moderation because we all know you will regret it come Monday and it's time to hit the gym again....) and of course, work on my Christmas shopping. I took a stroll to the local Starbucks today on my lunch break and it just put me in the perfect holiday mood! I love when the holidays cups come out in coffee shops, it just makes me feel all smiley and happy no matter what kind of day I am having before I step into the shop. I ordered my regular drink when I go there, a Grande (sometimes I still call it "medium" but try to remember the correct term when I actually order) Skinny Carmel Macchiato (heavenly!) and because I had a light lunch before I went on this coffee run, I allowed myself to get a piece of pumpkin bread that I have been eyeing for weeks! Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious -- and totally worth the extra time I will make myself run on the treadmill for tonight!
As the holiday season continues you will probably get more posts from me that reflect upon all things holiday. I absolutely LOVE this time of year -- I love the music, the decorations, the shopping, the movies, the food, etc. It just puts me into a great mood whenever I start seeing Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations because they represent a time of the year when people always seem to at least be happy (except when it comes to shopping, which seems to make people grumpy for some reason, but more on that in a later post).
What are you favorite parts of this time of the year?
Or what are your least favorite parts?
It's always interesting to see different people's experiences and views about the holiday season. I'd love to hear what you have to say!
P.S. Here's my outfit inspiration for Thanksgiving dinner (I found the picture on Pinterest and am going to try my bet to replicate) . What do you all think? What's the "dress" like at your Thanksgiving dinners?

It was still dark when he left this morning so our traditional blinking of the headlights (him) and front porch light (me) quietly symbolized our wave goodbye. Another college Christmas vacation in the record books.
He reminded his father on one of their many walks during break that he was graduating from college next year. Wow!
He reminded me that he was turning 21 THIS year. Wow, again!
He will likely not be home again until the end of the semester, after finals have been written and the car packed once again. He has so much to look forward to these next few months including a training trip to Hawaii on Thursday. He will be back in Buffalo in February for the MAAC Swimming and Diving Championships but that trip is not a visit home, just another part of his swim schedule.
Roommates and friends are packing up into cars and driving down to Florida for spring break, hoping they have the need for a side trip to see their Men's Basketball team play somewhere in the NCAA First Round. Easter break will be down at the condo and although it is a second home, I think by then he will be pining for his northern one.
Our regular visits end this month as the season is finally drawing to a close. This is the semester when I miss him…the house is so quiet…
When he returns in May it will not be for the traditional 3 ½ month break. He will only spend two weeks at home before we move him to NYC for a 10 week summer internship at PWC.
Today I'll remember our light flashing goodbye as I pray he has a safe trip and misses me just a little, too!
Life is good!

Author Notes: This is a blast from the past before "gluten free" became buzz words and flourless had a bit of novelty . Whenever I brought this cake to a party the wow factor was huge, while the effort minimal only three ingredients. I still bring it for office birthday parties.
It is also a very versatile base from which to create a number of other concoctions. I usually place whipped cream on top and then place sliced strawberries on top.
I've baked it in a half sheet pan, cooled and made riffs on "Funny Bones" "Ding Dongs" by putting peanut butter butter cream or whipped cream between the layers and dunking them in ganache and adding the trademarked curlicue.
—Judy at My Well Seasoned Life
Food52 Review: This chocolate truffle cake is very easy to prepare -- it's got a super short ingredient list and doesn't bake for very long -- and yet, is decadent and delicious. I used 72% chocolate and loved that the cake wasn't too sweet (though my kids might have preferred a "less dark" chocolate). I baked mine in an 8-inch springform pan because that's all I had, so I increased the baking time a bit because it was thicker than it would have been in a 9-inch one. Served with creme fraiche and raspberries, this cake was a wonderful treat. - WinnieAb —WinnieAb
Makes: 9" cake
pound Bitter sweet Chocolate
pound sweet butter
eggs separated
pinch salt
- Preheat oven 400 degrees
- Melt chocolate and butter over a double boiler to combine. Stir to combine. Cool.
- While the chocolate/butter mixture cools separate the eggs. It's best to use room temperature eggs for this recipe. Make sure none of the yolk gets into the whites.
- In a grease free bowl whip the egg whites and the pinch of salt until they hold a peak. Use upright or hand held mixer. Don't over whip or the mixture will become grainy.
- In a separate bowl whip the yolks with a whisk until they lighten in color.
- Once the chocolate/butter mixture has cooled to room temperature add about quarter to half a cup of the chocolate mixture to the yolks to temper. Mix until one color. Slowly add the yolks to the chocolate and stir slowly to incorporate.
- Fold egg whites into chocolate mixture.
- Pour batter into 9" spring form pan. Bake for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes remove from oven. Cake will be a bit softer in the middle.
- Once the cake is cooled the only way to go is up. Add whip cream to the top of the cake and place your favorite berry on top. This cake freezes well.
- This recipe is a Community Pick!
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Gluten-Free Baked Good

Down Payment Assistance (DPA) Frequently Asked Questions
Q. I want to buy my first house but need help with down payment and closing costs. Do I apply to the State?
A. No, the Down Payment Assistance Program is operated through a network of non-profit providers in various parts of the State. You must contact the provider that serves your area. The list of providers is located here.
Q. What am I supposed to do if there is no agency listed for my county?
A. Providers apply to serve an area for a two-yearAt this point in time, not all areas of the state are covered, particularly in Northern Virginia. Some of the larger entitlement counties in the metro area have their own down payment assistance programs that are similar to the state program. Contact your county's housing office listed in the phone book or on the local government's website.
Q. What if there is more than one agency listed for my area?
A. Some agencies serve areas that do overlap, so make your choice based on funds availability and services offered.
Q. The agency I contacted says they have a waiting list, but I have already found my dream home.
A. Unfortunately, funds are limited and some agencies expend their available funding before more is available.
Q. Is there a limit on how much income I can have?
A. Yes. The total household income cannot exceed 80 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). The income limits vary by the county in which you live and the number in your household.
Q. Is there a limit on the sales price of the house I can buy?
A. Yes.Click here to see the maximum sales price by locality.
Q. How much money can I get toward my down payment and closing costs?
A. The down payment assistance cannot exceed 10 percent of the sales price unless the home is located within a high-cost or chronically economically-distressed locality. In those areas, the maximum is 20 percent of the sales price. Closing costs assistance cannot exceed $2,500.
Q. Do I have to contribute any of my own money?
A. Yes. The amount may vary by agency, but the homebuyer must provide 1 percent of the sales price from their personal income or a minimum contribution of $500.
Q. Is there any prohibition against buying a condo or a manufactured home?
A. No. You may use the assistance for the purchase of a condo or manufactured home. A manufactured home must be connected to permanent utility hook-ups and must be located on land that is owned by the participant of land leased for a period at least equal to the affordability period.
Q. What is homebuyer counseling, and why do I have to have it?
A. Homebuyer counseling helps you to understand the home buying process. Owning a home requires a lot of responsibility, and home buyer counseling will assist you in obtaining the dream of homeownership. It will help you to determine how much you can afford, understand the importance of controlling your monthly expenses and good credit and your rights as a potential home buyer.
Q. Is this a loan that I have to pay back?
A. No. DPA is a conditional grant. You must sign a homebuyer agreement stating that you will maintain the home as your principle residence for a certain period of time, known as the affordability period. The chart below explains the amount of assistance received based on the affordability period:
Total Amount of HOME Assistance or Subsidy from all Sources
Years in the Period of Affordability and Occupancy
$1,000 – $14,999
5 Years
$15,000 - $40,000
10 Years
Amounts over $40,000
15 Years
A lien in the amount of the assistance is recorded in the land records.
Q. What happens if I sell the house before the affordability period is over?
A. Any sale or refinance of the property triggers repayment of the DPA assistance in full. Also, if a home equity line of credit is recorded on the property, the entire DPA assistance must be paid in full. There is a lien recorded against the property in the county land records that must be satisfied.
Q. What if I get transferred for my job? Can I rent the house to someone else?
A. No. The home must be your primary residence, or you are in default of the agreement.
Q. The house I want to buy is in pretty bad shape. Can I get down payment assistance to buy it and then fix it up on my own over the next few months before I move in?
A. No. Currently, the house must pass a Housing Quality Standards inspection.
Q. I own a house now but want to buy a bigger one. Can I use your program?
A. No. The program is for first-time homebuyers or buyers who have not owned a principle residence within three years.
Q. My wife and I have signed a contract on a house and had some unexpected medical bills. Now we may not have enough money for our closing in two weeks. My realtor told me to contact you. Can you help us?
A. There are several requirements for participation in the program in addition to income. DPA requires that buyers complete a HUD-certified Homebuyer Education course through a VHDA or Neighborworks® certified course. You may not be able to be approved and complete the process in time.
Q. My credit is not too good. Can I still buy a house?
A. You may want to consider homebuyer counseling to learn how to eliminate debt, build your credit score, budget your finances and prepare yourself for homeownership in the future.
Q. My ex-husband and I sold our house when we divorced. I want to buy another house of my own. Can I qualify for DPA?
A. If it has been three years or more since you held primary ownership in a principle residence, you may possibly qualify if you meet all other program requirements.
Q. We'd like to buy a second house for weekends at the lake. Can we get down payment help?
A. No. DPA is only for principle residences.

Caps Red Line Wins Third Consecutive Emmy for Best Sports Programming Seriesby Staff Writer / Washington Capitals
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Monumental Sports & Entertainment, which launched Monumental Network in January 2013 alongside a new productions department, earned two Emmy Awards at the National Capital Chesapeake Bay Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences gala on June 15. Earlier in the month Monumental Sports was the recipient of six Bronze Telly Awards for film and video production excellence. Caps Red Line won its third consecutive Emmy for Best Sports Programming Series, and Mystics Magazine won its first Emmy in the graphics and animation category for the 15th Anniversary Special episode.
"Winning two Emmy and six Bronze Telly awards is an outstanding achievement," said Ted Leonsis, founder, chairman, majority owner and CEO of Monumental Sports & Entertainment. "One of our goals for Monumental Network and Monumental Productions is to produce and provide high-end, compelling sports and entertainment programming. I'm proud that our efforts have been recognized by multiple Emmy and Telly awards; congratulations to our entire team."
Caps Red Line (CRL) won its third consecutive Emmy for Best Sports Programming Series for season 4, episode 2. It featured several segments, including one called "Cruisin'" with Capitals forward Joel Ward as he adjusts to life in D.C. with the help of his teammates, two "All-Access" segments on Madame Tussauds creation and unveiling of a wax figure of Alex Ovechkin (only the second hockey player ever to have been sculpted), and an "Elliot's Take" segment with host Elliot Segal about the first alumni game at Kettler Capitals Iceplex. The "All-Access" segments featuring never-before-seen access to the creation process for a Madame Tussauds statue were also nominated for Best Sports Program/Feature Segment.
Caps Red Line was executive produced by Michael Wurman and Joe Dupriest with supervising producer Chuck Roseberry, field producer Torrey Smith, post production supervisor/editor Timothy Libeau, videographer Todd Burger and host Guerin Austin. Elliot Segal was the CRL segment host.
Jarek Harris won an Emmy in the Graphics & Animation category for his graphics composite reel for the Mystics 15th Anniversary Special episode of Mystics Magazine: The Journey. It is the first Emmy for both Mystics Magazine and Harris.
Monumental Sports & Entertainment had a total of six Emmy Award nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) National Capital Chesapeake Bay Region at the 55th annual event.
The Telly Awards were founded in 1979 and are the premier awards for honoring outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, and film and video productions, including online. Its mission is to strengthen the visual arts community by inspiring, promoting and supporting creativity.
Winning Bronze Telly Award entries were: "Making of a Wizards Girl," which focused on the audition process for the team's dance squad, "Making of a Draft Pick" looked into the intensive research that goes into drafting an NBA player and "Mystics Magazine: Seed School" chronicled the impact of a team's visit on a community. All three were produced by Jumoke Davis and Alana Sawyer. This marks the sixth Bronze Telly Award for Davis and the first for Sawyer.
"Can't Stand the Heat" was produced by Todd Burger and Casey Phillips and documented Wizards players cooking with Chef Jose Andres for DC Central Kitchen's food bank. This marks the first Bronze Telly Award for Berger and Phillips.
The launch of Monumental Network, a digital content platform for fans and customers in the D.C. region and around the world, produced by Joe Dupriest and Rob Hedrick, and "Game Means Something," the NHL's season opening video/commercial for the Washington Capitals were also winning submissions.
The judging panel for the awards consisted of more than 500 accomplished industry professionals, each a past winner of a Bronze Telly and a member of The Bronze Telly Council. The Council evaluated entries to recognize distinction in creative work and are judged against a high standard of merit versus a traditional toe-to-toe comparison of entries. Less than 10% of entries are chosen as winners.
Monumental Sports & Entertainment is one of the largest integrated sports and entertainment companies in the country with one of the most diverse partnership groups in all of sports. Monumental Sports owns and operates three professional sports teams: the NBA's Washington Wizards, NHL's Washington Capitals and WNBA's Washington Mystics. The group also owns and operates Verizon Center, the premier sports and entertainment venue in Washington, D.C. Monumental Sports & Entertainment also oversees the management of Kettler Capitals Iceplex, the state-of-the-art training facility for the Capitals, and George Mason University's Patriot Center.
