American farmers are producing at record levels, and international customers are purchasing more than ever.
But the question is: Can our nation's transportation system move grain from farm to port with the speed and efficiency that today's international trade demands? The answer is rapidly becoming a glaring "NO."
Surplus masked inefficiency
For decades, U.S. farmers raised more grain than global customers were buying, so the nation could live with inefficiencies in moving it to port via truck, rail or barge. By 2002, however, world demand decreased the surplus, and U.S. infrastructure deficiencies started to become more apparent — and problematic.
The United States must place greater priority on the movement of freight because the aging U.S. transportation system is not keeping up with today's pace of international trade, according to two infrastructure experts who addressed the U.S. Grains Council International Marketing Conference & Annual Membership Meeting in New Orleans.
Wake up call on infrastructure
Kurt Nagle, CEO of the American Association of Port Authorities, and Ken Eriksen, senior vice-president at Informa Economics, said the country needs a wake up call on its infrastructure.
"A nation is judged by its infrastructure, and the United States is getting worse by the year, if not the day," Nagle said, whose organization represents 160 port authorities in the Western Hemisphere.
"We need an attitude adjustment about infrastructure," Eriksen said. In a world where communication is instantaneous, and overnight delivery of packages is standard operating procedure, transportation of freight is not keeping up.
Setting higher priority
"Developing countries are seeing the opportunity that upgrading their infrastructure can bring, and many are putting higher priority on their infrastructure than we are," he said.
Nagle showed statistics that Singapore, Brazil, Japan and the European Union all spend more per capita on infrastructure improvement than the United States.
Panama expansion means bigger ships
When the expansion of the Panama Canal is complete in time to mark its 100th anniversary in 2014, it will have locks that accommodate vessels up to 1,200 feet long, 160 feet wide and with a draft of 50 feet. The canal now handles vessels no larger than 965 feet long, 106 feet wide and with a draft of 39.5 feet.
"But unless the United States does a better job of maintaining its navigation channels through dredging and improvement of its locks and dams, our channel dimensions will not keep pace with larger ships," Nagle said. "And we will not realize the full advantage of the export opportunities the expanded Panama Canal will bring. The lower Mississippi River is a poster child of the inadequate maintenance of federal navigation channels."
Exports mean U.S .jobs, global competitiveness
The speakers both emphasized that international trade creates and maintains American jobs and that it is shortsighted for the United States not to have an infrastructure that takes full advantage of the growing economic potential that world trade represents. Nagle said seaports support 13 million jobs, and every billion dollars in exports means 15,000 jobs.
"Free trade creates jobs," Eriksen said. "Farmers spend months every year raising and taking care of the pile of grain you produce, but you don't recognize the full value of your grain until it is transported. Transportation inefficiency devalues grain and causes bottlenecks that back up all the way to the farm gate."
Eriksen and Nagle both applauded the administration's commitment to doubling exports by 2014, but emphasized it will take infrastructure improvements to realize that goal.
"Exports are key to global competitiveness, and seaports mean prosperity, but we must have efficient transportation infrastructure that gets goods to the ports" Nagle said. "It has to be a federal priority."
Eriksen added that the nation's inland waterways are in need of at least $9 billion in federal improvements. "The railroads invest more than that every year. Waterways move our economy and they need attention," he said

I love getting food gifts. I don't know if that sounds greedy or trite or just plain obvious, but I just love them. Food gifts give me a warm expectant thrill that can plant a smile on my face all day. Not just wonderful homemade goodies, but also food brought back from trips. Nothing too fancy, just a simple, well-chosen item that recalls a part of the trip at a totally different level from what a photograph captures — something three-dimensional that brings back a little smell and taste and texture.
I already mentioned this gift before, as part of the Brussels Sprout Gratin that I made in a butternut squash half. The deliciously pungent round of camembert de Normandie brought back from France by K's husband, L. Unlike most commercially produced camembert, Bernieres Jort camembert is made with raw milk hand-ladled into their molds (au lait cru muolé à la louche – the proud testament stamped onto their wooden cases). This is what gives each camembert made in this region its distinct taste and robust character that lingers sexily on your palate.
When C and I first received the coveted package we rationed out little slices to each other, plain or with a little bread, not wanting to distract from the taste. Then I started experimenting, pairing it with my dad's homemade mango jam for a luscious and melty jam and cheese panini, making myself little canapés with the camembert topped with a dollop of strawberry jam and sprinkled with pine nuts, and of course, the Brussels sprouts gratin.
And now it was time to have some for breakfast! Yes, breakfast, my friends…my favorite meal will hopefully be revived in the pages of this blog. No guarantees and no promises, but let's start with some scrambled eggs…
Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus and Camembert
- 2 eggs
- 5-6 stalks asparagus
- 2 slices camembert
- a pat of butter
– Break the eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly.
– Break off the tough lower portion of the asparagus stalks and discard (or do what I do – keep them in a ziplock bag in the freezer until you have enough to make some vegetable stock). Slice the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
– Melt a pat of butter in a skillet. Once the butter is melted, toss in the asparagus. Lightly sauté the asparagus until just cooked – just beginning to get tender but still with bite.
– Pour your eggs in and quickly remove the pan from the heat. Stir the eggs gently off the heat until they start to come together and set. If you think you need more heat or they haven't set enough to your liking, place pan back on the heat until they do.
– When just about done, place the slices of camembert on the eggs and immediately transfer to a plate.
– Enjoy with a slice of toast. Serves one.
I like my scrambled eggs wet-ish – softly set curds nestled in creamy yellow eggy-ness. For this dish, I didn't even need to put the pan back on the heat. The existing heat of the pan cooked the eggs exactly the way I like them. The rich creaminess of both the eggs and the cheese melting together made this simple breakfast luxurious and decadent. The asparagus' bright green crunch reined it all in perfectly. If you really want to go over the top, try drizzling a bit of truffle oil on top.
Thanks L for the little bit of Normandy that we enjoyed to the hilt! I'm lucky to have such kind and thoughtful friends 🙂

Turnout for Pontiac's first bonafide election in over four years was only 13 percent but let's take the positive view: The return of democracy to the city is off to a good start.
The city has elected a highly qualified mayor in Deirdre Waterman. If she can accomplish half of what she has led the way for at the city's library it will be outstanding.
Outgoing Mayor Leon Jukowski deserves a hearty salute for his role in Pontiac's necessary transformation under an emergency manager. Jukowski, since he had no real authority, could have sat on the sidelines and criticized the EM as Detroit's Dave Bing has done, but he chose instead to support all of the EM's unpopular decisions.
Voters often claim they want politicians to just do what is right in spite of popularity, but when they do, they suffer Jukowski's fate at the polls.
Pontiac residents lost their democratic rights in March of 2009 after then Gov. Jennifer Granholm declared a financial emergency in the city. Fred Leeb was then named as the city's emergency financial manager with near-dictatorial authority.
Democracy began to be restored to Pontiac in August of this year when Emergency Manager Louis Schimmel left his position.
Now the mayor and city council are back in charge, with some restrictions.
Elected officials do not have a good track record in running city government in Pontiac. The public shares the blame because it is the voters who choose the leaders.
Waterman is the city's first woman mayor. Perhaps she can also become the city's first successful mayor in recent memory.

Vitesse: A slab serif for the 21st century.
Engineered for responsive handling and a sporty ride, Vitesse is confident and stylish in any situation.
Many of the typefaces we know the best, and use the most, are those whose foundations are centuries old. The typographic models that have survived the longest are those that have proven most adaptable: the Antique species of slab serif may be two hundred years old, but its formula is flexible enough to allow constant reinterpretation. Our Sentinel typeface was based on this nineteenth century genre, just as our Archer typeface was based on a twentieth century invention, the Geometric slab serif. Both are vibrant and living models, yet they invite a third option: the twenty-first century slab serif.
Our exploration into new kinds of slab serif began with a study of slab serifs past. Noting that nineteenth century designs were based on the ellipse, and twentieth century ones on the circle, we wondered what other geometries might prove similarly fertile, and were inexorably drawn to the rounded rectangle. Surprisingly, this attractive and familiar shape, so iconic of both the industrial and digital eras, has seldom been employed typographically as anything more than a novelty. There are customary ways of using rounded rectangles to look quaint, brutal, primitive, or faddish, but no obvious way to use them in the service of a more broadly expressive typeface. Since all rectilinear typefaces are ultimately a struggle between letterforms and their geometric underpinnings, our goal was to avoid either obvious endgame — rigidly conforming to the grid, or whimsically abandoning it — and to instead find a way to exploit this tension, turning it into gripping and energetic forms.
In developing Vitesse, we outlined the challenges that highly structured typefaces most often encounter. One test of whether a typeface's recipe is too simple is whether it reduces the letters D and O to the same shape, an obvious (but common) blow to legibility. A typeface is too doctrinaire if it obliterates natural subtleties in the alphabet, such as the grace of the lowercase a, the gentle incline of the figure 5, or the ballet of curves that defines a well-balanced ampersand. A well-planned design program will prevent a font from becoming overgrown, and keep its handsome S and G from becoming lost in a thicket of serifs. And letters like the lowercase f, t, and r, whose compact profiles offer limited space for embellishment, must not become casualties to the design, but instead emerge as the font's proudest moments.
Instead of using the rounded rectangle as a motif, the strategy we devised for Vitesse was to use a more sophisticated shape as its central theme: a modified rectangle with flat surfaces above and below, gently curved sides, and quick turns at the corners. The complexity of these ingredients allows Vitesse to escape the grid when necessary, helping to preserve both the natural poise of intricate letters, and the typeface's personality throughout its complete range of styles. The design that emerged has many of the qualities of a beloved sports car: Vitesse is agile, steady, suave, confident, and stylish.
Vitesse ScreenSmart: High-Performance Webfonts
Vitesse ScreenSmart is an adaptation of the family specifically engineered for the screen, and available for use on the web through Cloud.typography. To ensure outstanding rendering on screen at sizes as small as nine pixels, we carefully adjusted the fonts' fit, color, and proportions, and orchestrated their progression of weights so that each style is distinctly different from its neighbors. Like all ScreenSmart fonts, Vitesse ScreenSmart is equipped with a set of detailed instructions called "hints," which tell its outlines how to adapt themselves to pixel grids at different point sizes, to ensure that the fonts always retain both their legibility and their personality.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) recognizes that the state's location has always made it a transportation hub, from sailing ships, canal boats and steam locomotives to container ships, truck terminals, rail yards and airports.
Today, hundreds of millions of tons of freight valued at more than $850 billion annually move into, out of and across New Jersey by truck, barge and ship, plane, and train. Within 25 years, freight volumes are predicted to grow by more than 65 percent. This growth will be added to a transportation system shared with passenger cars on highways and public transit on rail.
By promoting the safe, efficient and cost effective movement of goods through New Jersey's freight transportation system, NJDOT is maintaining the flow necessary to enhance the quality of life of New Jersey residents and to support the state's economic vitality.

Police focus on 22-year-old driver in fatal crash that killed two Shen students
HALFMOON — State Police say the driver who caused the Northway accident that killed two Shenendehowa students Saturday night may face charges after he tested positive for alcohol at the scene.
During a press conference Sunday afternoon, State Police said their investigation indicates 22-year-old Dennis Drue of Clifton Park drove his 2004 Volvo across three lanes and hit a 2004 Ford Explorer being driven by Shenendehowa senior Chris Stewart.
Stewart's vehicle rolled several times into a median one mile north of the Twin Bridges. State Police said Drue tested positive at the scene for alcohol on a breath sensor test. But a blood test conducted on Drue at a hospital after the crash will be used to determine his exact blood-alcohol level, including whether it was above the legal limit, law enforcement officials said.
"It is anticipated that charges will be leveled against Mr. Drue which equate to vehicular manslaughter ... and that is coupled with the fact our investigation reveals that there is alcohol involvement," said State Police Capt. Steven James. He added that if Drue's blood-alcohol level is below the legal limit of 0.08, "then we would be looking, more or less, at criminally negligent homicide, but we are not there yet, further testing needs to be done."
The speed of Drue's vehicle was a factor in the accident, James said. No charges have been filed but State Police said their investigation is ongoing.
Stewart died in the crash, along with Shen softball player and senior Deanna Rivers, who was sitting in the backseat and was ejected from the vehicle. Bailey Wind, a member of the Shaker High School diving team, sat in the front passenger seat and was seriously injured, including suffering broken bones, as well as backseat passenger Shenendehowa student Matt Hardy, also a member of the football team. Hardy was partially ejected, police said.
The students were returning from a Siena College, State University at Albany basketball game around 10:19 p.m. when they were driving in the right, northbound lane just north of the Twin Bridges. Police said Stewart had a clean driving record and that witnesses indicated he was operating his vehicle safely at the time it was struck.
Drue's vehicle moved from the passing lane into the middle lane, behind another vehicle, and then shifted into the right lane behind Stewart's vehicle. Witness accounts and an accident reconstruction indicates that Drue's vehicle then struck the rear of Stewart's vehicle at a high rate of speed, State Police said.
The collision caused Stewart to lose control of his SUV, which careened across the Northway and tumbled into the median.
The median in that area has been undergoing construction recently. Drue's vehicle came to a rest on the shoulder on the east side of the Northway. Drue suffered head lacerations and is being treated at Ellis Hospital. State Police said Drue has a record of driving infractions including speeding and a license revocation, but no criminal history.
Shenendehowa school officials had a crisis team mobilized Sunday morning, and students were seen arriving to talk to counselors and other students at the High School East campus. At a news conference Sunday afternoon, Superintendent L. Oliver Robinson said that the school will dedicate space for a memorial, since they do not want students going to the scene on the Northway. A Facebook page was created Sunday to honor Rivers, a page that 673 people had already viewed.
The superintendent and principal met with the families, according to the school district's website. Counselors will be available starting at noon Sunday at the High School East campus.
Friends and family gathered at Rivers' home Sunday afternoon, and declined comment.

PoconoGeek needed a new banner ad design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 46 designs submitted by 13 freelance designers.
Padlock Software LLC
Padlock Software LLC is a one man software shop selling a license management solution for Java developers. The company is small but serious, as technical proficiency and overall professionalism are important.
The target audience for these banner ads are Java developers who make purchasing decisions for their product line. They are technically proficient and spend a lot of time in front of a computer. Therefore, the ads should not be be flashy, gaudy, or contain loud/bright/florescent colors. It should not hurt your eyes, and should leave plenty of "whitespace".
These guys will quickly tune out ads that look offensive in their design, especially ads that look less than professional. This ad should resemble something that Oracle would put out.
I need two PNG ad banners with dimensions of 728x90 and 220x250 pixels. Both ads should be identical in content and overall design (obviously the layout will have to differ a bit).
Ads should contain the following phrases:
1) "Your code on your terms"
2) "Java(tm) powered license management"
Capitalization is left to you to decide.
The product name is officially "Padlock License Manager for Java", and either that or "Padlock License Manager" should be clearly readable on the ads along with the Padlock logo (see attachments).
Color pallet is up to you guys!

The regulation of genetically modified organisms in the UK is relatively extensive. For the most part, the UK has taken EU legislation and has adopted it into national law. Because co-existence is a relatively new concern, co-existence regulations are still in a state of development.
Co-existence measures are currently being developed. There have been consultation activities with stakeholders to address issues such as voluntary GM-free zones, the regulatory burden on farmers, the interests of organic farmers, the interests of the consumer and environmental organisations, and the agronomic co-existence measures necessary for maize, rapeseed, and beet. The consultations resulted in a written package of proposals and options, which was published by Defra in July 2006. The document may now be commented on and contributed to. It is the government's clear intention to introduce co-existence measures before any commercial cultivation of GM crops takes place. This is not expected before 2008. The discussion package is available at http://www.csl.gov.uk/email.htm.
Defra have proposed in their consultation document that GM farmers who do not comply with co-existence measures may be liable for economic losses suffered on conventional farms. Liability and compensation schemes where no liability has been established are currently under consultation.

While we understand that 30 over in many situations can be an unsafe speed, and is generally regarded as such on the mainland, we think it's pretty surprisiing that Hawaii is adding any speed over 80, regardless of the posted limit, to some pretty heavy-duty speed penalities. If you're nailed, expect a $500-$1,000 fine, a 15- to 30-day license suspension, a mandatory driver education course and either 36 hours of community service or two to five days in jail. And that's just for a first offense. Apparently, in the post-McGarrett era, speeding is now as big a menace to the 50th state as Wo Fat once was.

A recent meeting at the track with Bruggenthies, Michael Argetsinger, Paul Powell, and Rick Dresang saw agreement reached for the event. Rick Dresang, who owns the 1973 Eagle Indy car of Donohue, also spoke to the group and said that he has already received commitments for a dozen cars that were driven by Donohue to be displayed. Among the cars are three of the five Penske Camaros (real ones, not the dozens of fakes that are seen at most US events!), and two Porsche 917 turbo Spyders. More are to announced as they commit. Further, several team members, family members, and such will be present. George Follmer has indicated his intentions to be in attendance.
Michael Argetsinger, author of the acclaimed Mark Donohue book released earlier this year, is pleased to announce that the photo biography of Mark Donohue that is to be the companion book to his earlier book has received the go-ahead from David Bull Publishing. Argetsinger accumulated some 4,250 photos in preparation for his Donohue book, and 40 selected shots were in that book. Michael will now cull through the remaining 4200 and select a few hundred pictures which will form the core of this second book. Michael will write a short narrative to connect the photos and to set the scene, while the pictures themselves will tell the story with detailed captions. It should be an excellent compliment to the largely text Donohue Biography previously written by Argetsinger.
This photo history of Mark Donohue will be rolled out by David Bull Publishing and Michael Argetsinger at this July, 2010, Mark Donohue celebration at Road America.
More details will be posted as they become available.

I've written many words on these pages and elsewhere about the work of Julian Calverley — it's a true pleasure to now be introducing you to his imminent show at Gallery 1066.
We first worked together in October 2010, which I wrote about at the time.
Since then, Julian and I have made many more prints together as his success in the world of edition printing gathers momentum.
Working with Julian is a real opportunity for us both to revel in the current capabilities of digital photographic practice. You may remember that he works with one of the finest cameras around, made by Alpa of Switzerland, which he currently uses in conjunction with the very latest in single capture technology — the Phase One IQ180.
This is an 80 megapixel digital back, which produces a 16bit single capture of around 450MB — when making many of the large prints for Julian, I often have to reduce the files produced from this camera!
Julian's background is described at Edition Prints:
"Julian Calverley has been creating imagery in one form or another since he was old enough to hold a paint brush.
"Born in Hertfordshire in 1964, he very quickly demonstrated a love and natural talent for drawing and painting, in particular watercolour landscape work.
"After a brief and uninspiring spell at art college, Julian realised it was the mix of photography and traditional darkroom skills that would allow him to express himself most effectively.
"The next few years saw experience gained with various studios and in 1988, at 24 years old, Julian set up his first studio and darkroom.
"He now divides his time between personal and assigned work, his attentions mainly focussed on capturing landscapes in their various atmospheric conditions."
I really enjoy how the exemplary workflow from start to finish sings through the final prints. As written on the Edition Prints Process page:
"The finished pieces command a theatrical air; so wonderfully crafted, as if each facet to the image has been summoned into place at the click of a finger."
Wayne Ford has also written a wonderful blog post on Julian's work entitled, The Theatrical Sonnets of the British Landscape Photographer Julian Calverley.
If you haven't seen Wayne's blog yet, do pay it a visit — he has nurtured it into the ultimate photography archive.
I don't often get to see the prints I make in their final destination, so I can't wait to make the journey south next week to Baldock and see the framed pieces on the wall.
The show runs from 20th April to 3rd May, full details are listed here.
One Response to "Julian Calverley at Gallery 1066"
[…] known Julian for a long time, I've made his edition prints for years. Now, I was presented with a new treat — to capture him in one of his favourite […]

PORT CLYDE, Maine — Linda Bean's path to becoming one of the major players in the state's lobster industry came late in life.
"I was 67 at the time and going through a divorce," said Bean, who's 72 now, about her decision to try a new career in the lobster industry. "This gave me a new lease on life."
Bean, the granddaughter of L.L.Bean's founder, had a home in Port Clyde a quarter mile from the Port Clyde General Store, the Dip Net restaurant, and down the road, the Bay Lobster wharf where lobstermen unloaded their catch.
She knew the owner of the Bay Lobster buying station and his wife, Nancy Albano, called Bean and asked if she would be interested in acquiring the lobster business. Though intrigued by the property, Bean wasn't sure about running a lobster business.
"I had never been in that type of business," she said. "I had been a licensed real estate broker and invested in some vacation properties, but that was the extent of it."
The Albanos stayed on for the next lobster season to show her how the business operates through an entire year's cycle.
In February 2007, she purchased the wharf for $1.6 million, although Albano retained the Bay Lobster name. A few months later, Bean purchased Port Clyde's general store and restaurant, both anchor businesses in this coastal village, for $1.1 million. Those were the first of what has become many acquisitions on the midcoast for Bean.
Even if you know nothing about Bean, her heritage suggests business acumen.
The granddaughter of Leon Leonwood Bean, who founded L.L.Bean in 1912, said the privilege of being one of the L.L.Bean heirs has given her the opportunity to make the investment in the Maine lobster industry.
She said the privilege of being an L.L.Bean heir has given her the opportunity to make the investment in the Maine lobster industry.
"You need a lot of working capital to be in this business. If not for the success of L.L.Bean and its stocks, I couldn't have had the success I have had," she said.
In the first year she owned the Port Clyde wharf, her company purchased 400,000 pounds of lobster from harvesters.
Today, she has five buying stations and expects those businesses will purchase 7 million pounds in 2013. Based on 2012's catch total of 126 million pounds, that would represent about 5.5 percent of the state's total lobster catch.
Along the way, Bean became aware of the Maine lobster industry's dirty secret — 70 percent of Maine lobsters are shipped to Canada where processing facilities package, freeze and ship the meat back to Maine and elsewhere in the world. The entrepreneur in Bean saw no reason why Maine lobsters had to be shipped to Canada to be processed.
She took action.
In December 2008, she got into the processing end of the industry by purchasing the 23,000-square-foot former Oak Island Seafood plant in Rockland's Industrial Plant for $1 million.
Her belief that "the added value of processing Maine products should stay in Maine," has not wavered.
David Cousens, president of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, said Bean's involvement in the lobster industry has been a net gain.
"Any time you create more processing in this country, it's positive," Cousens said.
The head of the lobstermen association said Bean has made a large investment in the industry's infrastructure, including improvements to the wharves she purchased and providing bait coolers so that lobstermen can buy what they need.
Bean's activities have not been without controversy, however. Her involvement in right-wing politics (she ran unsuccessfully for Congress twice in the late 1980s and early 1990s) has occasionally put her in the headlines. And her buying spree in Port Clyde has also ruffled some feathers.
Some in the lobster industry have raised questions about her hostility toward Canadian processors, according to a 2009 article from The New York Times. The newspaper quoted Peter McAleney, a lobster dealer in Portland and president of the Maine Import-Export Lobster Dealers' Association, saying "She's only been in the business three years and you're telling me she's got all the answers?"
If such backlash has tarnished her reputation, it doesn't show. After the initial purchases in the center of Port Clyde, Bean's industry grew quickly.
In April 2008, Bean purchased the Harborside Wharf on Vinalhaven for $700,000. In February 2009, she purchased a buying station for an undisclosed amount on Bar Island at the entrance to Vinalhaven. In March 2009, she purchased the 12,000-square-foot former North Atlantic Products plant in the Rockland Industrial Park, which she uses to store lobsters, and the Bert Witham wharf in Tenants Harbor for $850,000.
And in November 2010, she purchased the former Inland Seafood Co. wharf for $1 million.
But Bean hasn't always had the Midas touch. She tried to buy the Atwood Lobster company on Spruce Head Island, which was a major dealer in the state, but couldn't reach an agreement. The Atwood family then sold its lobster company in 2011 to a subsidiary of Highland Park, Ill.-based Mazzetta Co., which bills itself as one of the world's leading fully integrated direct importers of premium-frozen seafood.
While not buying the Atwood company, Bean was able to win the plum contract to provide lobsters to the Maine Lobster Festival, one of the largest summer festivals in Maine. The Atwood company had been the longtime supplier for the festival. The festival is held for five days on Rockland's waterfront — this year from July 31 through Aug. 4.
Tim Carroll, president of the festival, said Bean has been good for business. This will be the third year she has the contract to provide the projected 20,000 pounds of lobster for hungry visitors to Rockland's premier event.
Carroll pointed out that Bean also has become a major sponsor for the festival.
"I feel we have become great partners in the promotion of Maine lobster," Carroll said.
And she hasn't stopped there.
In April 2013, she purchased the 11,000-square-foot former Courier Publications printing plant which was being converted into a lobster processing plant by a Canadian company. Bean will use that building for additional storage of lobsters, grading the crustaceans and distribution.
Bean said half the lobsters she buys are sold live to restaurants across the country. The remaining half are processed at the Rockland plant where they are then sold whole or in parts. In addition to the Dip Net in Port Clyde, she owns the 240-seat Linda Bean's Maine Kitchen & Topside Tavern in downtown Freeport, a 180-seat restaurant and lounge at the Portland International Jetport, and Linda Bean's Perfect Maine Lobster Cafe in Delray Beach, Fla.
The Port Clyde businesswoman has focused on marketing lobsters, believing that the more they're marketed, the better it is for lobstermen who need to find buyers for the growing catch.
In 2007, Maine lobstermen landed 64 million pounds of lobsters and received $280 million for that catch. In 2012, Maine lobstermen landed 126 million pounds and earned $339 million.
Bean, whose products are sold under the trademark name Linda Bean's Maine Lobster, was one of the leading figures in getting Maine lobsters eligible for sustainability certification from the Marine Stewardship Council.
To Bean, telling consumers that they are buying sustainable Maine lobsters, similar to organic label on foods, is key to the industry's future.

AUSTIN, Texas – Boll weevils in Texas have nowhere left to hide.
Cotton farmers and landowners in the Northern Blacklands Zone put the final piece of the eradication puzzle in place with an affirmative vote in a January referendum.
Texas Department of Agriculture officials in Austin tallied ballots Jan. 28 that show 370 growers or landowners in the zone, which stretches from the Northeast corner of the state into Central Texas, approved the referendum with only 69 voting no. TDA officials report 438 valid ballots postmarked by the cutoff date, Jan. 21. TDA mailed out 855 ballots.
Steve Beakley, a grower from Ellis County, was elected to represent the Northern Blacklands Zone on the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation, Inc., board of directors.
Voters also determined that assessment fees will not exceed $13.25 per land acre.
Texas Extension IPM agent Glen Moore, who works from the Waxahatchie office, says the vote indicated 85 percent approval. Affirmative votes represent 63 percent of the cotton acreage included in the Zone.
Eradication efforts will begin with diapause treatments next fall, says Lindy Patton, executive director of the Texas Boll Weevil Eradication Foundation. "But we have a lot of work to do before then. We'll start right away hiring people, locating an office and getting ready.
"This was a tremendous vote for the Northern Blacklands Zone," he says. "Growers did a great job of getting this referendum passed. They really pulled together to get the job done."
Patton says the affirmative vote not only puts the last Texas zone into the program but means the entire Cotton Belt is now actively involved in the eradication effort.
Texas Commissioner of Agriculture Susan Combs also expressed her pleasure at getting the last zone included in the program and pledged the department's support.
"We will work closely with growers and the Foundation to eradicate this devastating pest from Texas cotton fields," Combs said.

If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
Hello All,First, I would like to thank everyone who has had a hand in keeping this forum open, so people like me can come here and ask questions. I also thank everyone who takes their time and energy to answer the many questions here no matter how poorly formed or contentious.Second, I will try to keep my post short (EDIT: I think I failed at this) and allow any greater details come out if they might be helpful.OK.In short, I've felt pulled or pushed in one way or another toward the Gospel of Christ for nearly as long as I can remember. This wrestling match over the last five years or so with the Gospel has brought me closer and closer to the Orthodox Church.I belong to no Christian denomination and have not since I was quite young and left the church (small "c") I attended. One part of my struggle has come to an end. I truly believe that the Orthodox Church is the most beautiful and faithful expression of the rich history of the preaching of the Gospel on earth: theologically, pastorally, etc. I thank God that the selfish hand-wringing over figuring out which Church agrees with me is gone. I want to submit to what my heart knows and have grown tired of trying to fit the Body of Christ into the clothes I have made for her.My fear: I simply can't begin to live the Gospel. I believe the Gospel. There is too much I am afraid to give up (even that which I want to give up!). I know it is a matter of personal piety to say "no one" lives the Gospel "perfectly". Of course. And frankly, few even try very hard to do so. But I've known and seen those who do and as moving as it is, it is also damn scary.I believe and am afraid of what following the Gospel will certainly and possibly entail. It is embarrassing to admit such reservations to those who belong to a Church where so many have shed their blood to preserve the Gospel.Is this a question appropriate to this board? I think so. To those who see this as a more pastoral issue, I agree. I have spoken with the few Orthodox I know. Most are cradle Orthodox and pardon statement, lifestyle Orthodox. I've spoken with a local parish Priest. He has been wonderful. But he is extremely busy and I do not wish impose myself upon him too much. We have spoken three times over the last two years. A recent talk / sermon by Thomas Hopko I had the privilege of hearing has really brought these issues to a sharper point. I just cannot casually "join the Church". Perhaps it is better to stand outside the Church than to enter it knowing one will be at best laodicean.All your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. When you reply, I would appreciate it if you could mention if you were a convert and your age.Thank you very much.
I can certainly share your feelings. Before my chrismation, I actually became physically sick, to my stomach, from fear. I knew that once I became Orthodox, there were no more excuses and no turning back. I had to face up to myself, honestly and without excuses, acknowledging my sins and working out my salvation with fear and trembling.
So, my friend, do not listen to doubts telling you that it's better to live outside the Church because you cannot live as the Gospel requires. God desires a relationship with us. He is our Father, not some taskmaster. I assume you have read the Gospels, that you have seen how gentle and kind our Christ is. He does not condemn sinners--only those who claim to be righteous and need no repentance. You know something of your shortcomings and weaknesses. Commend them to Christ and seek Him in His Church. It is the devil which tells us, "You're not worthy. You'll never live up to it, so don't bother trying." Don't listen to the devil. Listen to Christ, Who says, "Come to Me all you are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest."
Matthew: 21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
Don't let a busy priest put you off. If you wait for a slouch of a priest what kind of insight do you expect to receive?!
There is so much I want to let go of and yet of I am afraid of doing so.

Picked to finish sixth in the SEC Western Division, junior right-hander Chris Ellis knew it was possible to advance to the College World Series and be in position to play for a national championship during intersaquad scrimmages early in the year.
Ellis said they didn't know if they were struggling to pitch, or they could hit really well, and it turned out they could hit really well, so they figured out pretty early in the season they were going to be a special team.
It turned out they could pitch it pretty well too.
The pitching staff holds a 2.72 ERA, which is fourth-best among College World Series teams and 16th best nationally, led by the one-two punch of junior right-hander Chris Ellis (10-2, 2.45) and sophomore left-hander Christian Trent (9-0, 2.21).
"It's definitely surprising," senior third baseman Austin Anderson said. "We knew they were good. Up until this season, Ellis was a great pitcher and he had a great stuff, but he never defined himself, and this spring, he was a third-round draft pick and he's been dominant all year.
"We knew Trent was good and at LSU previously, but he was new, and we didn't know how good he would really be. They have made key contributions and they are one of the main reasons we're here."
Ellis and Trent are the latest in a long line of ace starting pitchers, having stepped into weekend rotation spots vacated by Bobby Wahl and Mike Mayers, who were selected in last year's MLB First-Year Player Draft.
"At first, it was intimidating. I didn't know what to expect," said Ellis, a third-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Angels. "After I got the first SEC win out of the way at South Carolina and figured out that my offense could help me and I didn't have to do it by myself. It was exciting from then out because I knew I could trust people behind me to make plays and score runs."
"It was exciting," said Trent, a 20th-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers. "You know coming you have spots to fill. When I got recruited, Coach (Carl) Lafferty said we needed weekend guys, and we want you to be a weekend guy. It's fun coming in and stepping in and be given such a role. It's an honor."
Pitching and command, more than velocity, head coach Mike Bianco said, separates this year's pitching staff from previous teams. Ellis has a power arm, Bianco continued, but he has success because he pitches with command and throws three different pitches in the strike zone, while Trent has had success with his fastball, change-up and slider, depending on the start.
More than anything, confidence has gotten them to this point.
"The confidence in my defense, our hitting and coach's pitch-calling," said Trent, who admitted he has never shaken Bianco off. "He told me before I went out there in the Supers that we were going to throw straight fast balls. I didn't disagree with it. That's what I did, and it worked. I have complete trust in Coach B calling pitches and Will (Allen) behind the plate. It's great to have that kind of confidence in your team."
More on Bianco's pitch-calling system: Trust, track record important in pitch selection, writes Chase Parham from Rebel Grove/Rivals.com

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
While Israeli soldiers scour Judea and Samaria in search of three abducted Jewish teens, average Israelis and Palestinians have taken to social media with their contrasting views on the situation.
The Palestinian side has exploded in a celebratory campaign distinguished by a three-finger salute. Local Arabs of all ages have been posting photos of themselves and their children holding three fingers aloft to commemorate the kidnapping of three defenseless Jewish youths.
Those participating in this campaign are calling the abducted Israelis the "three Shalits," in reference to Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was abducted in 2006 to Gaza where he was held captive until Israel finally agreed to trade 1,027 jailed terrorists for him in 2011.
Palestinians and their supporters abroad hope to blackmail Israel into freeing even more terrorists in exchange for the currently missing youths.
Israelis distraught by the abduction have also taken to social media, primarily Facebook, in a campaign dubbed "Bring Back Our Boys." Israelis, Jews living abroad and supporters of Israel worldwide have been uploading photos of themselves holding signs with the slogan.
Even fans at the World Cup in Brazil have seen in photos supporting the campaign.

Star-studded unveiling as U.S. shows Olympic jerseysby Corey Masisak
ARLINGTON, Va. -- The 2013 U.S. Men's National Team Camp concluded Tuesday with the introduction of all 48 players who participated and the unveiling of the United States jersey for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
The new logo is a shield with "USA" written in white with a blue background above red and white vertical stripes. There are also matte stars on the blue shoulders that are more noticeable when the sweaters move in the light.
"I think it is classy and humble and something we can stand behind -- that shield," St. Louis Blues captain David Backes said.
The jerseys will also say "land of the free, home of the brave" on the inside and feature an homage to the 1960 and 1980 gold-medal winning teams.
"It is something to inspire us," Backes said.
There was a standing-room only crowd at Kettler Capitals Iceplex for the announcement of the players and the jerseys. There were various activities throughout the day for fans, and teams from around the NHL were represented through T-shirts and jerseys.
Players like Ryan Miller and Patrick Kane earned large cheers, as did Pittsburgh Penguins coach Dan Bylsma, who will coach the United States in Sochi. That's not a reception he's used to getting in this part of the country.
The loudest cheers were reserved for the Wounded Warriors, who took part in a sled-hockey game earlier in the day and were on the ice for the introductions.
Washington Capitals defenseman John Carlson also understandably received a voracious welcome.
"[The jersey] looks great," Carlson said. "It is not too flashy, but flashy enough. It has been a cool event. It was convenient for me in that sense. It was cool was to see our fans turn into USA fans and everyone who came for all of the stuff today."

The Hollywood publicist who discovered Farrah Fawcett, whose blond hair, stunning looks and beautiful smile made her a Hollywood icon, shared fond memories of the icon before she became an "Angel."
Fawcett lost her battle with cancer in a Santa Monica hospital on Thursday. She became a household name in the 1970s even before she starred in "Charlie's Angles" after posing in a red bathing suit for a now-famous poster.
Publicist David Mirisch, who lives in Carlsbad now and takes credit for discovering Fawcett, said on Thursday that he first saw her picture when he judged a Texas beauty pageant. Eventually, he convinced Fawcett's parents to let her come to Hollywood in the late '60s.
"I saw a very, very wholesome, gorgeous, unaffected young woman who had been raised, obviously, with good parents, and was well-brought-up and had perfect manners and just wholesome sweetness," Mirisch said.
The publicist compared Fawcett's death to Princess Diana's.
"I feel that the American public today is going to feel like the world did for Princess Di, and that they're really going to miss Farrah," Mirisch said.
Fawcett, who was nominated for three Emmy awards during her lifetime, battled cancer for the past two and a half years.

The Palo Alto school district Tuesday completed its purchase of 2.6 acres of land at 525 San Antonio Road -- the first land acquisition for Palo Alto schools in a half century.
Officials have yet to specify a use for the former Peninsula Day Care parcel, but some have suggested it's a prime spot for a new elementary school to accommodate unexpectedly high elementary-age growth in the southern part of town.
"This is a big deal," school board President Melissa Baten Caswell said of the land deal.
"It's been a long time since the Palo Alto Unified School District moved forward on acquiring any property, so this is big news."
Baby Boomers were in diapers the last time Palo Alto schools were building new campuses.
HP co-founder David Packard was an elected member of the Palo Alto Board of Education. While running his startup company, Packard also guided widespread construction of elementary schools in south Palo Alto during his school board tenure from 1947 to 1956.
"We did fairly well in getting our schools set up," he recalled in a 1991 interview with the Peninsula Times-Tribune newspaper.
Historical documents -- mostly in the form of newspaper clips from the old Palo Alto Times -- were provided to the Weekly by Bob French, a retired English teacher and active substitute who is unofficial historian for the Palo Alto school district.
"There was obviously going to be an increase in school population," Packard said of his years on the school board.
"All you needed to do was find out how many babies were born each year and put some factor in to account for the influx, and you'd know how many kids you were going to have in school in any grade in the following years," he said.
"A little third-grade arithmetic was all it took."
Compared to the nearly $3.3-million-per-acre price of the school district's new San Antonio acquisition, land was a bargain in the first half of the 20th century. Open space was abundant in Palo Alto, and the district acquired property in every decade from the 1920s to the 1950s at prices ranging from $1,100 to $3,800 per acre.
In 1925, the school district paid $1,100 an acre for land on Middlefield Road across from what is now the Midtown Safeway. The 6.5-acre parcel was dedicated in 1947 as "South Palo Alto School" and later was renamed Herbert Hoover Elementary School before being closed and sold off for housing.
In 1935, 16 acres near Middlefield and Santa Rita Avenue were acquired for $14,000 for what was to become Jordan Junior High School. Eight acres were later added to the parcel and, in 1936, voters by a six-to-one margin approved a $360,000 bond to build the school named for Stanford University's first president, David Starr Jordan.
In 1940, the school district agreed to pay $1,230 an acre for dairy land on Barron Avenue that is now Barron Park Elementary School.
The acquisition for Cubberley High School came in 1952 as a result of a condemnation suit filed by the school board, according to an Oct. 17, 1952, article in the Palo Alto Times.
A Santa Clara County Superior Court judge ruled the district must pay $134,596 -- about $3,800 an acre -- for the 35.4-acre site near Middlefield and Charleston roads.
Cubberley opened in 1956 as Palo Alto's second high school and Gunn, the third high school, opened in 1964.
Packard and others advocated a standard design for classrooms and elementary schools, making it "possible for us to meet the classroom needs and keep the system within a budget," he said.
After nine years on the school board, Packard announced his resignation in 1956 -- the year before Hewlett-Packard Company went public -- saying he was "too pressed for time to continue."
At the height of Baby Boom enrollment in 1967, the school district had a headcount of 15,575 students with 22 elementary schools, three high schools and three junior high schools.
As enrollment declined through the 1970s and '80s before hitting a low of 7,500 in 1989, the district closed schools and sold off many acres for housing.
Cubberley closed in 1979.
In February 1987, the school board voted to convert Gunn into the district's sole middle school, with a plan to leave Paly the community's single high school. The contentious vote prompted an electoral revolt later that year, and a new school board majority reversed the decision as soon as members were sworn in.
Enrollment has been climbing since 1989, and this fall stands at 12,286, with 12 elementary schools, three middle schools and two high schools.
Without outlining specifics, the school board has asserted the district will need to take back the Cubberley campus, perhaps in stages, over the next decade or so. Currently the district earns more than $7 million a year by leasing the old high school campus to the City of Palo Alto for use as a community center.
That lease expires in 2014, and both bodies are launching public discussions on the future of the 35-acre campus.

2. Re: Unsubscribing durable subscription via StompClebert Suconic Apr 3, 2012 4:50 PM (in response to ameya mk)
My concern is what if you had multiple consumers on the same subscription. It seems it's possible to do that on stomp. The first time you called unsubscribe it would delete the queue (if we did this).
I wonder what Jeff Mesnil and Howard would think about it since they worked a lot on Stomp.
3. Re: Unsubscribing durable subscription via StompJeff Mesnil Apr 4, 2012 2:37 AM (in response to Clebert Suconic)
I had a quick look and indeed the code does not look right when unsubscribing a durable subscriber.
When, a client wants to create a durable subscriber, he must pass a (non-standard iirc)
Stomp.Headers.Subscribe.DURABLE_SUBSCRIBER_NAME header. In that case, we create a core queue for it.
When a client wants to unsubscribe the durable subscriber, he should pass the same header so that we can remove its core queue.
howard, wdyt?
4. Re: Unsubscribing durable subscription via Stompameya mk Apr 4, 2012 2:19 PM (in response to Jeff Mesnil)
I did bit mroe work on this, now I am passing correct subscriber id etc from client. I am also calling deleteQueue in StompSession onUnsubscribe
It looks something like this (I added bindingName):
public boolean unsubscribe(String destination, String id, String bindingName) throws Exception
Iterator<Entry<Long, StompSubscription>> iterator = subscriptions.entrySet().iterator();
while (iterator.hasNext())
Map.Entry<Long, StompSubscription> entry = (Map.Entry<Long, StompSubscription>)iterator.next();
long consumerID = entry.getKey();
StompSubscription sub = entry.getValue();
if (id != null && id.equals(sub.getID()))
session.deleteQueue(new SimpleString(bindingName));
return true;
return false;
This works as expected as long as there are no messages in the queue. If there are messages in the queue, it throws NPE:

6. Re: Unsubscribing durable subscription via StompMatthieu Chaplin Jan 31, 2013 10:20 AM (in response to Clebert Suconic)
Following up on this post, had the same issues than Ameya and it's solution was helpful while making a patch on my own upon 2.2.20 release last year. Context : HornetQ production servers delivering a few hundreds msg/secs into Topics, with mixed STOMP / JMS consumers.
STOMP consumers mostly using Net::STOMP::Client Perl module.
Behaviour observed on 2.2.20 release and reproduced on current 2.3.0-CR1 :
- selectors : When using a selector, excluded messages still looks routed in the queue, however not delivered to the client. (Observed from the MessageCount JMX attribute value). Also the selector value also does not appear in the JMX 'Filter' attribute. The latter being minor compared to the heap memory saturation caused by the first.
- unsubscribe : The Queue is not destroyed upon a successful unsubscribe : Incoming messages remains routed, also causing heap memory saturation.
Changed slightly more things from Ameya's patch, and been using this since October without trouble. The patch :
- Assign the selector value to the Queue, not the Consumer on the server side : Selector value can then be seen in the JMX Filter attribute, and excluded messages don't looks routed in the queue.
- Destroy the Queue when the last consumer disconnects. (Tested with multiple consumers and several subscribe/unsubcribe cases before the final "unsubscribe, no more consumers" situation.
Starting to look at 2.3.0-CR1, i ported this patch onto the code base & was wondering if those STOMP features could be considered useful & integrated onto the main release at some point. Can provide diff file in that case.

Using bbcp At NERSC
bbcp is a point-to-point network file copy application with excellent network transfer rates. The application was originally written for transferring large files of the data-intensive High-Energy Physics community.
bbcp is available on all NERSC systems.
To transfer files into/out of NERSC using bbcp, you need:
1. An SSH client. For most Unix-like systems (Linux//MacOS/Cygwin), the command ssh is sufficient;
2. Download the bbcp executable to your local computer, rename it to "bbcp", and add it to execution search PATH.
UsageAll example commands below are executed on your local machine, not the NERSC machine:
The syntax of bbcp is similar to the syntax of scp, with some special options specifying how to run ssh/bbcp.
When copying to or from Cori, please use corigrid.nersc.gov.
Get a file from Data Transfer Node:
bbcp -S "ssh -x -a -oFallBackToRsh=no %I -l %U %H /usr/common/usg/bin/bbcp" "firstname.lastname@example.com:/remote/path/file" /local/path
Send a file to Data Transfer Node:
bbcp -T "ssh -x -a -oFallBackToRsh=no %I -l %U %H /usr/common/usg/bin/bbcp" /local/path/file "email@example.com:/remote/path/"
Get a file from an outside host to NERSC:
bbcp -S "ssh -x -a -oFallBackToRsh=no %I -l %U %H /path/to/bbcp/on/remote/host" "email@example.com:/remote/path/file" /local/path
Send a file from NERSC to an outside host:
bbcp -T "ssh -x -a -oFallBackToRsh=no %I -l %U %H /path/to/bbcp/on/remote/host" /local/path/file "email@example.com:/remote/path/"
Note the difference between "-S" and "-T" option, "-S" means the source (where the data come from), "-T" means the target (where the data goes to).
In case you get the following error or similar, add the "-z" option to your command line (right after bbcp).
bbcp: Accept timed out on port 5031
bbcp: Unable to allocate more than 0 of 8 data streams.
Killed by signal 15.
Pros and Cons
- Parallel transfer
- No extra credential needed. Just need access to the two systems you are trying to transfer files between.
- Provides some performance tuning options
- Need to download a client
- Complicated command line arguments

News - From June 2010, I started to spend money on Google AdWords to maximise my effort to share experiences by writing this blog.
Welcome to my blog on CFD, numerical modelling and parallel programming. Though relevant things are included, the CFD part of this blog focuses on the packages SALOME, Code_Saturne and ParaView etc. The complete content can be directed by the Labels list on the right side.
All the posts here are kept updated. Following or subscribing a blog is a good idea if it really helps. Up to March 2012, as reported by Google, there are 90 friends who are following or subscribing my posts using Google.
The most popular posts are summarised as follows
1. Installation of SALOME on Ubuntu
The latest SALOME version is 6.3.1. However I haven't tried this version; I am still using the 5.1.x.
For 5.1.x the latest version is 5.1.6. The complete instruction, "Installation of SALOME 5.1.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit)", should help when install SALOME 5.1.x onto Ubuntu; at least according to feedbacks, this works up to 5.1.4 onto Ubuntu 10.04 (32/64 bit). The tips also suit Ubuntu 9.10, if all packages are updated in the system.
For Ubuntu 9.10, an older post is "Installation of SALOME 5.1.2 on (K)Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit". The notes might be slightly outdated.
If preferring Ubuntu 9.04, it is also easy to install SALOME by only following "Installation of SALOME 5.1.1 on Ubuntu 9.04". The post actually helps up to the latest version 5.1.3.
For those who still use the old 4.* versions of SALOME, "Polishing GUI of older SALOME versions" is recommended to read.
2. SALOME tutorials
"CFD tutorial: laminar flow along a 2D channel - Part I" is a brief tutorial on using SALOME to do the geometry modelling and meshing.
More examples are still on the way.
3. Installation of Code_Saturne on Ubuntu
The latest Code_Saturne 2.1.0 is much easier to compile and install than ever. An instruction on this version is on the way. By the way I also successfully ported this version onto Windows 7.
Since version 2.0 Code_Saturne started to adopt the typical source build and install procedure on Linux. By following "Installation of Code_Saturne 2.0-rc1 on Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit)" I am confident it would be an easy job for you. In the meantime, if you are also a SALOME user, I strongly recommend you to read "Compile Code_Saturne with SALOME binary libraries" in order to reuse the binary libraries already shipped with SALOME.
Two slightly outdated but helpful posts are "Installation of Code_Saturne 2.0.0 on Ubuntu 9.04" and "Installation of Code_Saturne 2.0-rc1 on Ubuntu 9.10".
You can also try to test installing Code_Saturne with apt-get. Please read "apt-get, the ideal way to install the software onto Ubuntu".
The instruction on installation of the last stable version, 1.3.3, was written in "Installation of Code_Saturne 1.3.3 on Ubuntu 9.04". On the other hand, for the version 1.4.0 the installation procedure is quite similar to that of 1.3.3, except 1.4.0 turned to use PyQt4 and Qt4. Please check "Installation of Code_Saturne 1.4.0 on Ubuntu 9.04" to see how to use (Py)Qt4 instead of the python-tk and tix.
4. Code_Saturne tutorials
"CFD tutorial: laminar flow along a 2D channel - Part II" gives a brief tutorial on how to apply Code_Saturne to solve a CFD problem.
More examples are still on the way.
5. Installation and usage of ParaView
Installation of ParaView is relatively easier and please read "Installation of ParaView 3.6.1 on Ubuntu 9.04". The usage of ParaView is briefly illustrated by an example in the article "Post-processing with ParaView".
For the latest version of ParaView, please refer to its official site.
6. GPGPU acceleration with CUDA techniques
A basic idea of using NVIDIA CUDA and the template library thrust is shown in "A simple test on the efficiency of thrust". An example to use CUDA practically is "Apply CUDA to solve a 1D heat transfer problem".
Last but not least, any comments are sincerely welcome and your support is always my motivation. The visitors here are from all over the world. See the visits map overlay below, which is provided by Google Analytics for the half-a-year period from January 2010.

Hmm, well maybe I've got "tighly coupled MPI" tunnel vision, but even single user platforms can benefit from using resource managers. It is very convenient to submit multiple mpi jobs and not have to worry about whether they are going to overlap. And can you imagine having to figure out what nodes/processors are not being used, then having to specify those nodes when you run the job? Yikes. Now think big. ASCI big. I tend to think of batch queues as > "mostly" being used by folks for whom resource allocation on a > one-at-a-time-basis is fine, not "N out of M at a time, starting all N > at this specific time and holding them until that". I would agrue the opposite. Can you say "Advanced Reservations" and "Preemptive scheduling?" Mmmmmm, preemptive scheduling. ;) It would make my life a living hell trying to maintain clusters with multiple users without resource managers. And not really because of all the wild and wonderful scheduling capabilities these days, but simple things like having the RM run epilogue scripts to kill all the running procs that the nasty users leave behind when their jobs die, for example. cheers -- Tim Wait waitt at saic.com SAIC - Advanced Systems Group PO Box 41, Sumerduck VA 22742 Phone: 540-439-0193

Madbury necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 47 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
FurnaceCompare.com is a small company that helps people make decisions about which furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps and boilers to buy. The people that use our site are typically in crisis -- the furnace just broke and the house is getting cold! We can help them reach a decision more quickly and with more confidence.
Target audience are homeowners in a crisis. They aren't sure who to trust, and they aren't inherently interested in the subject matter.
The design for FurnaceCompare's homepage is challenging for two reasons:
1. The homepage has 165 links on it. Some people think that's too many -- but it's part of the spec for this project.
2. There are some built-in constraints for this project:
a. The basic layout of the site needs to be header, left toolbar and footer.
b. The logo / basic colors for the site have already been defined -- and are attached to the project description.
c. Pixel size should be: 1024 x 768
The homepage should express that the company is trustworthy, professional and well-informed.
Despite what you might guess from the domain name "FurnaceCompare.com", we also cover other types of heating and cooling equipment (furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, central air conditioners, water heaters, space heaters, etc).
Design Pluses:
a. I like white space and simplicity
b. I don't tend to like curved edges on boxes -- they require lots of images (or more HTML chops than I have).

huntinghard - 06 January 2015 11:23 AMName one guy that shoot over 5 deer a year? You can't and will not.
Name one guy that shoot over 5 deer a year? You can't and will not.
Are you saying you don't believe there are hunters who kill more than 5 deer in a season?
Give me one name & county.
I wont give you a name or county but can tell you for a fact I have a friend that has shot 15 this year and this is the fewest deer he has shot in the last 10 years. I don't know what your point is in asking for a name and county, its all legal
It's funny how everyone considers honesty a virtue, yet no one wants to hear the truth
Same here. Not naming names but I know 3 in Piatt, 1 in Dewitt, and 1 in Macon that have killed 5 or more. 2 in double digits
Yellowstone We know the same guy
I know a guy tagged 3 didn't recover four. I'm sure those guys shooting that many aren't recovering them all either.
huntinghard - 06 January 2015 11:37 AMGive me one name & county.
I didn't say I know anyone who kills more than five a season. I'm just wondering if you believe that it doesn't happen?
huntinghard - 06 January 2015 11:23 AM
The last point I do not see discussed on here is that I have felt in order to help population in some areas it would be more of a benefit to the herd to shoot a small buck than does, has anyone practiced this? I know in some areas you might get a bloody nose, but I think it could be the best approach.

I know in some areas you might get a bloody nose, but I think it could be the best approach.
Bucks and does are supposedly born at a 1:1 ratio. But bucks have a higher natural mortality rate. So shooting a small buck for meat, rather than a doe, is an unwise practice.
It is one of the ways that Pike Co. has crumbled. They had more than enough deer in the past, regardless of what they see there now. But outfitters were tying up large chunks of the county, bringing in hunters that weren't there to shoot a doe, and not letting anyone in to shoot does to keep a balanced herd. Thus, neighbors complained of the quality of bucks going down and having too many deer. Depredation permits are issued. And it just turns into one big mess.
Don't shoot a small buck for meat if you want the herd to grow. If you want to grow your numbers….don't shoot any deer.
By the way….I can name one in Wayne Co. and one in Jefferson Co.
The Jefferson Co. guy typically shoots double digits on just one or two tags.
There are hunters and there are killers. Do not confuse the two. I know many who are disgusted after a day in the field/ woods because they didn't get to fire the gun or shoot the bow. Anyone can pick up the gun/bow and go to the field, but there is a line between being a hunter and a killer. It comes down to ethics and those are a matter of upbringing and personal character.
...the chase is better than the catch…
My ex bro in law killed more than 5 for years. It happens without a doubt.
An old man told me a story from back in the depression era. He said he and his brother hunted with their father when they were very young. His dad allowed each boy one shell to hunt with for the day. He said a rabbit jumped up and sat in front of his brother. His brother aimed at it but didn't pull the trigger and it soon ran off. When he asked his brother why he didn't shoot he said "Because I didn't want to quit hunting." If you understand that, you are probably a hunter. If that makes no sense to you, you are probably a killer.
Good post Yellow. We all have our own reasons for going to the field/woods/marsh/river. Be it hanging a stand, digging a pit or splashing decoys or casting into that great spot we all have our own reasons for it. Some folks look at it differently from others. This is a matter of opinions and mine agrees with yours but as long as the game laws are being followed then I have to live with it. I do not have to agree with it though. There are many things that the game and fish laws allow that I don't particularly care for but you can't make an ethics law, because that is based on personal interpretation. All we can do is show/teach our youth the right way (in our own thoughts) how to carry and conduct themselves in the field.

The House then Vasquez & Sons was built in 1909 by Italian architect Martino Santa Lucci. On the ground floor was a large open hall of double height with a mezzanine on one side, a wooden staircase leading to second floor and a wooden partition art-nouveu probably where he worked the Box House Commissioner. The pillars are metallic, independent structure, and closure with a brick building element non-existent in the region at the time.
The site was restored by the Monumenta Program in 2006. Before the reform process has suffered damage, and deterioration and leakage over decades of neglect by previous owners (Wikipedia: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_do_Homem_Pantaneiro)
Here's your soundtrack. Okay, maybe they're not exactly brazillian but their music is awesome and their live shows legendary.Now, Brazil covers almost half of South America and its Amazon rainforest is the world's largest jungle... which is rapidly getting cut down. The country is basically one giant botanical garden with some bangin' cities on its edges.Brazil was colonized in 1808 by the royal court of Portugal, which was fleeing Napolean's troops. They didn't stay long, and Brazil won its independence in 1822.Its biggest city, Sao Paulo, is the financial hub of South America. Brazil is the "b" in BRIC -- Brazil, Russia, India and China.

"Take care of yourself, then you can take care of the world," my now 97-year-old grandmother once told me, adding that it's a smart, not selfish way to live.
In this newsletter, we offer stories, classroom tools, and resources to inspire you and your students to explore your individual gifts, and learn how others are sharing theirs. We are also pleased to feature the 7 Doors Project, created by Project Happiness, whose mission is to create lasting happiness by looking inward rather than outward.
It's a new year. We have a new president. And, perhaps there will be a newly discovered you. The possibilities are exciting and endless.
For former teacher and Chicken Soup for the Classroom co-author Anna Unkovich, a "nightmare" teaching moment was the key to a more open classroom. Learn how she discovered the value of sharing stories. Read Anna's story.
MORE OF YOUR STORIES: Joining students in campaigning for quality education. Discovering the Beauty of Teenagers. Local food in schools. Student diplomats in Nicaragua.
SEND US your own story to share with our growing network of YES! educators.
Project Happiness' 7 Doors Project will take your students on a journey of self-discovery that will ultimately lead them to understanding not only what is happiness for themselves, but also what is happiness for others.
Each door represents a facet of your path to happiness, and hosts a multimedia array of interviews, photos, films, questionnaires, and activities.
Your students can create their own digital portfolio on what makes them happy, hear the thoughts of their peers in the U.S., India, and Africa, and answer questions, such as, "What are your gifts, the things that make you feel totally alive?" In the end, your students will have created their own paths to happiness. This curriculum is appropriate for ages 13-19.
Barack Obama has just become the first African American to serve as the President of the United States. Teaching Tolerance offers lesson plans that address the significance of Obama's election and acknowledge the struggle for racial justice is far from over.
Get ready for Women's History Month in March: take the opportunity to spotlight women who have changed the world. The Smithsonian Institution has compiled compelling women's history resources, including "Women Breaking Musical Barriers," a collection of songs and videos.
Like the old saying, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." If a teacher's not happy, her students won't be happy. Parker Palmer's Center for Courage and Renewal offers quarterly retreats that focus on reclaiming the wholeness and vocational passion of pre-K to 12 educators on whom our society depends for so much.
Ask your students to think carefully about Merwin's poem. What is the poet thankful for? What are they thankful for?
