On June 6, 2012, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Baku, Azerbaijan, where she met with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, and held a roundtable discussion with civil society representatives.
In her discussions with President Aliyev and Foreign Minister Mammadyarov, they focused on three key areas: security, energy, and democratic reform. Secretary Clinton said, "On security, I reiterated my appreciation for Azerbaijan's past contributions in Iraq and Kosovo and its vital ongoing work in Afghanistan. Azerbaijan is essential to the transportation of troops and nonlethal supplies that support the international effort in Afghanistan."
She continued, "Regarding energy, the United States works closely with Azerbaijan on energy security. It is a common strategic interest for both countries and one of the great global challenges of our time."
Secretary Clinton said, "[T]he president and foreign minister and I spoke about the importance of fostering a vibrant civil society, embracing and furthering democratic reforms, which will add greatly to the long-term success and prosperity of Azerbaijan. The United States remains strongly committed to working with the government and people to advance respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms."
In closing, Secretary Clinton said, "For 20 years the United States and Azerbaijan have been working to build a constructive, comprehensive relationship that benefits the people of this country and the larger region. There's been a lot of progress made in 20 years. One only has to open one's eyes to see the progress that has occurred. But we need to go further. I have great confidence that Azerbaijan can both continue the path of economic prosperity and continue on a path toward political reform."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
A new study by the Pew Research Center published on Tuesday revealed that one in five American Jews no longer believe in God.
America is home to the largest community of Jews in the world - approximately 6.8 million. However, the Jewish share of the total American population has declined by half since the 1950s.
These developments are concerning to Israel, which views the American Jewish community as a critical ally and component of the overall Nation of Israel.
According to the survey results, the loss of faith among American Jews is most pronounced among the younger generation. While 93 percent of American Jews born between 1914–1927 describe themselves as religious, that number falls to 68 percent for those born after 1980.
In all, 22 percent of American Jews today identify themselves as atheists or agnostics. Furthermore, fully one-third of American jews are living in a mixed marriage to non-Jewish partners. Often times, the children from these marriages are not raised as Jews.

Our Your Turn Photo Contest gives the opportunity for new photographers to share their best images, gain their first editorial exposure, and win prizes. This year, we're presenting a series of four themed photo contests, each one having a prize package of a Burton photo backpack, Celtek's gloves, and radio slaves from Pocket Wizard. The grand-prize winner gets food, lodging, and a spot in the High Cascade Snowboard Camp Photo Workshop at Mt. Hood, Oregon, headed by TransWorld senior photographer Andy Wright. This is your chance to learn from the industry's pro photographers!
This second contest of the Your Turn Photo Contest series was assigned the theme of "After Dark." Photographers submitted their favorite images relating to snowboarding at night. There were a lot of compelling submissions:
Roby Bragotto's photo of Marco Concin night slashing in Colverde, Italy caught our attention most. This image captures that awesome feeling of fun snowboarding, combined well thought out lighting techniques and composition.
Congratulations to Roby! Please email me with your contact info so I can follow up with your photo prizes, firstname.lastname@example.com
The next theme is Hot Laps. Round up your crew and get after it by setting up your shoot at your favorite resort. The Your Turn Photo Contest is the best way for you up-and-coming snowboard photographers to have your shots seen by the TransWorld SNOWboarding audiences.
Now with the second category open, you have three weeks to create your images and upload them to the user generated section of TWSNOW.COM using the tag Hot Laps. Please follow these simple guidelines to insure that your submissions are received correctly:
- After processing your images, size them 1200 pixels on the longest side saved at 72dpi
- File name them the title of your post adding photographer name. For example: Hot_Laps_PhotographerFirst_LastName
- Upload your photo to the YOUR STUFF section at the bottom of the TW homepage. Be sure to tag the name of the category that you're entering the photo for. For example, if your submitting for March, you would tag your photo as Hot Laps for judging. No other words needed in that tag. If it's not tagged correctly, it may not be considered.
- Make sure to put the rider name, location, and then photographer name in the caption credit. Creative captions are welcomed.
The next winner will be announced on April 5th, when the next category will start. So get your submissions in by April 4th. New this year, the winner of each category will go head to head in a portfolio battle, with the TransWorld staff picking the grand-prize winner based on the strongest overall submission.
Categories for the rest of the year are:

Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness
Wade K. Belew
Wade K. Belew
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness (map) in 1964 and it now has a total of 182,299 acres. All of this wilderness is located in California and is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the Forest Service.
DescriptionLocated between the North and South Yolla Bolly Mountains in the as-rugged-as-it-comes headwater country of the Wild and Scenic Middle Fork of the Eel River, Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel Wilderness ranges in elevation from about 2,000 feet to 8,000 feet. The river crashes wildly through the Wilderness in a deep canyon for approximately six miles, and, combined with sections of the 48 miles of river outside the Wilderness, forms what is arguably California's finest long white-water run. Chamise and manzanita in the lower elevations give way to dense arrays of pine and fir cloaking numerous ridges. Vast grasslands open many of the steep hillsides. Summer wildflowers dramatically color large mountain meadows. Bear and deer populate the area in relative abundance, and September's hunting season brings the most human visitors. Water, unlike solitude, may be hard to find after midsummer. Most of the Wilderness stands on national forestland, but a section on the western side (7,100 acres) is situated on BLM land. An extensive and often strenuous trail system provides access in short loops and extended routes deep into the Wilderness. Light human use and suitable pathways make this an ideal destination for horsepackers. The Ides Cove Loop Trail rambles for over 10 miles through some of the best that Yolla Bolly-Middle Eel has to offer.

130 years. Between them, that's how long this year's High Cotton Award winners have been farming. But, while they may have had a lot of opportunities to become set in their ways, these farmers rarely shy away from trying new technologies that will help them grow cotton profitably and in an environmentally friendly manner.
Since Farm Press Publications and The Cotton Foundation began the High Cotton Awards in 1995, we have chronicled the environmental stewardship efforts of 71 cotton producers. Since then, we've found that environmental stewardship and a willingness to try new technology go hand in hand.
That is certainly the case with this year's winners:
• Ronnie Lee, Bronwood, Ga., Southeast Region;
• Ray Makamson, Itta Bena, Miss., Mid-South Region;
• Eric Seidenberger, Garden City, Texas, Southwest Region;
• Bruce Heiden, Buckeye, Ariz., Far West Region.
"These are some of the most environmentally conscientious producers we've featured in our 16 years of presenting the bronze Cotton Boll awards," said Greg Frey, vice-president for the Penton Media Inc. Agricultural Group, which publishes the Farm Presses.
"Some of them have been farming for a while, but they always put the environment and taking care of their land and water first."
The High Cotton Awards are made possible through a grant from Farm Press to The Cotton Foundation. The winners receive an expenses-paid trip to the National Cotton Council's Beltwide Cotton Conferences, which will be held in Atlanta, Jan. 4-7.
Co-sponsors of this year's awards are Ace Pump Company, All-Tex Seed, Americot/NexGen, Arysta LifeScience, Deltapine, Helena Chemical Company, John Deere, Rio Tinto Minerals — U.S. Borax and Syngenta.
The winners and their families will be introduced by the editors of Southeast Farm Press, Delta Farm Press, Southwest Farm Press and Western Farm Press during a breakfast at the Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Atlanta.
Southeast winner Ronnie Lee has successfully combined the concepts of stewardship and profitability to build Lee Farms into one of the premier cotton farming operations in the Southeast, Southeast Farm Press Editor Paul Hollis wrote in an article about Lee.
While Lee oversees the farming of about 6,200 acres and multiple business enterprises, he also takes time to work on perfecting the use of such conservation practices as strip-till and no-till farming and modifying them when unexpected hurdles arise.
Benefits of conservation-tillage
"We were one of the first in Terrell County to adopt strip-till and no-till planting practices, eventually helping educate and inform neighboring growers about the benefits of those practices," says Lee. "Now, however, we've had to modify our system somewhat due to glyphosate-resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed."
Lee believes strongly that farmers need to set the example when it comes to environmental stewardship. The adoption of conservation-tillage practices on his farm had a ripple effect, with other growers in the area soon taking notice and trying it successfully in their fields.
Mid-South Region winner Ray Makamson, a veteran of 38 years of farming, produces 3,050 acres of cotton and 700 acres of soybeans on his farming operation near Itta Bena, which is located in the middle of the Mississippi Delta.
Observers say Makamson's attention to detail in conservation practices is evident in the appearance of his farming operation. "The one thing that strikes you is Ray's meticulous nature," Trey Cooke, executive director of Delta Wildlife, told Delta Farm Press' Elton Robinson.
"He is probably the most esthetically-astute farmer that I'm aware of in the Delta. His shop is clean. The grass is clipped, there are no piles of containers or irrigation pipe lying around. If you were to ever want to take somebody to a farming operation to see one of the best actors in the farming community, Ray's farm would be one you want them to see."
"Ray runs one of the cleanest operations of almost anyone I know," said Jerry Singleton, area Extension agent, LeFlore County. "From the shop floor to his equipment, it always clean."
"My shop, my equipment, my tractors, that's all the money I've banked through the years," Makamson explains. "I'm invested in it. The people who work for me take pride in it, too. We take good care of things. I like things neat and orderly."
Makamson's conservation efforts mesh perfectly with his forward-looking style.
As a member of Delta Wildlife, Makamson participated in the Monsanto Mississippi River Partnership Project, created to determine the effectiveness of conservation measures on improving wildlife habitat and water quality. He installed numerous water control structures for use in reducing nutrient and sediment loss from his cropland to benefit water quality in adjacent water bodies.
Southwest winner Eric Seidenberger has also been working to handle water more efficiently on his 2,950 acres, 2,150 of them in cotton and the rest in wheat and grazing land. He is working toward installing drip irrigation on much of his acreage.
Drip irrigation, reduced tillage, terracing and grassed waterways all are critical parts of his production and conservation programs, which are aimed at achieving the highest yields at the lowest costs while protecting the land and water.
Seidenberger installed his first drip irrigation in 2003, a 45-acre block. He says drip offers at least three advantages: Consistently, high yields; improved water efficiency; and cost savings through reduced-tillage.
But the main advantage, he told Southwest Farm Press Editor Ron Smith, is labor savings. "We were moving pipe all day long for furrow irrigation. We're also using less tillage on drip irrigated fields. We're not cultivating four or five times in the summer as we do with furrow irrigation. We cultivate one time. We spray Roundup early and cultivate once."
Forward thinking producer
Although he has more years of experience, W. Bruce Heiden, who finished his 58th crop in 2010, is still one of the most progressive and forward thinking cotton producers in the Far West, according to Western Farm Press editors Harry Cline and Cary Blake.
Heiden has faced numerous challenges, ranging from multiple insect pests that threatened not only to reduce yield, but to take markets from Arizona cotton to urban encroachment that has only slowed down with the recession in the national economy.
Peter Ellsworth, University of Arizona IPM specialist, one of several who nominated Heiden for the High Cotton award, said Heiden has not only managed to survive the challenges, but excelled during those periods. "Even in the years when we struggled to control pink bollworm or later to control whitefly, Bruce's production was always among the highest."
Ellsworth said Heiden was a leader in helping the industry move through technology changes, including Bt cotton. He was instrumental in getting new insect growth regulators registered to turn back the whitefly, a pest Heiden said was the most devastating insect to befall Arizona cotton producers.
The whitefly not only caused yield loss, it created sticky cotton from the honeydew secreted by the hordes of whiteflies. That was more devastating than the pest because Arizona growers could not sell any of their cotton. Textile mills refused to buy Arizona cotton…sticky or not.
"We used to be able to forward contract, but when the whitefly came in, no one would buy Arizona cotton unless it was tested in the warehouse and certified free of stickiness," Heiden said. He and other growers took an Asian mill tour to talk with buyers and explain to them that not all Arizona cotton was sticky and what growers were doing to control whiteflies.
"The cost of water in many areas is very high. Inputs keep going up. We saw $1 cotton in 2008 and are seeing it again now, but overall the price of cotton has been low over the past three or four years. It has not been high enough to sustain cotton in Arizona."

Is Nursing Really Recession-Proof?
Georgia Price
Final Thoughts
Is healthcare really recession-proof? We say "Yes." While no industry will be totally immune to the affects of recession, it looks as if healthcare will fare the best. Of course, every region, job, and facility are different, so it's important to take the appropriate steps to assure your job is secure.
If you are thinking about switching careers, now is a great time to go back to school for a nursing degree. Many facilities continue to offer great perks like tuition reimbursement, loan forgiveness, and signing bonuses, so returning to school may be easier than ever.

(Reuters) - In the wake of criticism over its attempt to trademark the words "ice bucket challenge," the ALS Association said it is withdrawing its applications from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Following a blog post by a Virginia trademark attorney that was critical of the trademark application and a report by Internet tech news site Techdirt that said ALS did not originate the ice bucket challenge, criticism of the trademark move grew on Twitter and other social media sites.
"We understand the public's concern and are withdrawing the trademark applications," the association's spokeswoman, Carrie Munk, said in a emailed statement to Reuters on Friday.
She said the association had filed for the trademarks "in good faith as a measure to protect the Ice Bucket Challenge from misuse after consulting with the families who initiated the challenge this summer."
The ALS Association fights amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease, a neurological degenerative disease that can often lead to death within a few years of diagnosis. There is no cure.
The ice bucket challenge has become a viral sensation, exploding across social media in recent weeks. People post videos of themselves dumping a bucket of ice water over their heads and challenging others to do the same or make a donation to ALS. There are hundreds of thousands of videos on YouTube and other sites showing everyone from average citizens to celebrities doing the challenge.
The association said on Friday that the challenge generated more than $100 million in the last month, compared with just $2.8 million in the same period last year. There were more than 3 million donors, it said.
On Aug. 22, the association filed two applications with the USPTO, alleging it owns the rights to the phrases "Ice Bucket Challenge" and "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge."
Virginia trademark attorney Erik Pelton was one of the first to spot the applications and raised the alarm in a critical blog post. He told Reuters he had been searching the USPTO database for weeks, knowing that someone would try to trademark the words, as typically happens when there is a pop culture phenomenon.
"I didn't expect it would be the ALS Association," he said. "They're better than trying to capitalize exclusively on or prevent others from using the name."
The challenge, he said, "grew organically. It doesn't seem right that they'd try to take it away from the public."
Picking up on Pelton's discovery, Internet tech news site Techdirt said the ALS Association had not originated the challenge, which had previously been used for a lung cancer fundraiser.
The ALS Association did not specify in its statement what kind of "misuse" of the challenge it was seeking to prevent.
"We appreciate the generosity and enthusiasm of everyone who has taken the challenge and donated to ALS charities," Munk said.

I always found the real joy of playing Scribblenauts in its various incarnations was doing completely horrible things on the DS or iPhone without anyone around you being aware of the evil in your heart. I suppose then it's good that I do not own an iPhone 4S and therefore won't be tempted to shout "Rotting Baby Bunnies!" while waiting in line at the DMV.
Well, no more tempted than I normally am.

Sahara group, whose legal battle with Sebi continues in Supreme Court over refund of over Rs 20,000 crore to investors, has made a surprise announcement of plans being afoot to hire over 56,000 new employees this year along with investments to the tune of nearly Rs 32,400 crore.
In three-page newspaper advertisements, the group has invited applications for senior positions across business verticals within and outside country and said that these more than 56,000 new jobs need to be filled by the end of 2014.
At the same time, it has also claimed that the group, which calls itself Sahara India Parivar, is "committed to creating four lakh salaried positions in next three years".
The businesses for which job applications have been invited include FMCG & retail, dairy, poultry, luxury real estate and lifestyle, food factory, low-cost housing, CSR, education and even cruises (Sahara Water Homes).
Besides job details, the group also disclosed specific investment targets for at least four business verticals and these investments total to an amount of Rs 32,394 crore.
For its 'Luxury Retail: Sahara Global Mastercraft Ltd' business, the group said that an investment of Rs 1,400 crore would be made over five years, while Rs 5,172 crore would be invested in Food & Beverages and Entertainment: QSR (Quick Service Restaurants).
Its 'International Business: Macedonia (Europe)' business is expected to see an investment of Rs 13,922 crore in dairy project and Rs 9,600 crore in hospitality project.
Further, healthcare would seen an investment of Rs 2,300 crore for 5-7 years, according to the public notice.
The group also claimed a huge asset base with a market value of "Rs 1,52,518 crore" and a land bank of 36,631 acres.
This massive recruitment drive comes at a time when the group is caught in a legal battle with Sebi, which had charged it of raising over Rs 24,000 crore through various "illegalities" in issuance of certain bonds through two firms.
These two firms -- Sahara India Real Estate Corp Ltd (SIREC) and Sahara India Housing Investment Corp Ltd (SHIC)-- were asked to refund the money to investors, while the Supreme Court also asked the group to comply with Sebi orders.
Sahara group later deposited Rs 5,120 crore with Sebi and claimed that it was way above the outstanding amount due to be returned to investors as more than Rs 20,000 crore were already refunded directly.
The Supreme Court has refused to allow Sahara Group chief Subrata Roy to leave the country till the companies provide details of refunding Rs 20,000 crore to investors.
The apex court last week asked the group to furnish all the documents to reveal the source of Rs 22,885 crore which it claims to have refunded to the investors.
Besides, the group was directed to place all documents including the bank statements sought by Sebi before February 11 when the court would take up the case for further hearings.

IMO, we'll continue to avoid any intimate integration, trust-wise, and stick to ssh, possibly augmented with a http-based user portal. the goal of loose coupling is _not_ inherently in conflict with good design (usability, robustness, managability, cost-effectiveness.) > - funding models (central funds, grant based) both for equipment and > personnel. yeah, our primary funding is pure-hardware, and we have to do some funny book-keeping to get people money out of it. (especially people other than "direct infrastructure support" - for instance, we have parallel programming consultants, who are not sysadmins, and who can potentially participate in research. the main funding agency will support sysadmins, but not these.) > - centralized research IT versus local departmental/school support. IMO, centralization breeds contempt ;) the institution where I sit does have central IT, but it's mostly limited to providing network/phones and groups that do the "business" side of things like grades, money, registration. pretty much everything research- related (incl a prof's desktop) is handle outside the central IT. most depts have some local experts, but a lot of the expertise is in a contract consulting group which reports to the VP-research. this seems to lead to a more responsive organization (though that could easily be a matter of people, history, innate niceness of Canadians, etc ;) > - education and training we run classes/seminars/symposia/etc several times a year at each site. mostly, it doesn't seem too much to expect people to pick up the basics with little help (use an ssh client, choose a text editor, here's how to compile, and submit, where to store your files.) it's not all that clear how HPC fits into curricula, undergrad or higher. we have relatively little involvement by CS-ish people, and lots from in-domain expert researchers. we're just starting to figure out how to put some for-credit HPC training into the computational streams of some depts (physics, etc). > - deployment issues (who pays F&M?) facilities and maintenance? it's fuzzy for us. I have a compressor in a liebert reporting low suction right now, and I'm not sure who's going to fix it. technically, the hosting university owns the equipment, and signed a letter stating that they'd provide infrastructural support. our compute hardware is bought with 3yr NBD onsite support. is chiller maintenance different from server maintenance? > - sustainability and growth donno. our first round of hardware was installed in 2001 and was based on ~400p of alphas. some smallish refreshes happened, including 1-200p clusters, but the main refresh was installed in 1q06 (~7k cpus, mostly opterons.) (and all the new stuff was instantly full, of course). but I wouldn't claim a 75% annual growth rate was sustainable, and I'm not sure how I'd plan for the next round. since I'm a technologist, my ideal would be a constant sampling of good-looking parts, and when the time is right, move quickly to buy a substantial facility. for instance, 2005 was a very bad year for most of our users, since we actually had _fewer_ cycles available due to renovations. pipelining the acquisitions would have been a lot beter. not to mention that you really want to respond to products, not be driven entirely by funding cycles. there's a sweet-spot for buying any product, after the initial wrinkles are clarified, and when its unique properties are still unique. what we're learning about Core2 right now, for instance, is quite fascinating, and should influence anyone buying a cluster in the next 6-9 months. after that, perhaps AMD K8L will need to be considered. interconnect-wise, InfiniPath seems to be still quite a wise choice, but perhaps the 10G market will finally do something... that said, it's entirely possible to sustain a "rolling cluster": start with one generation, and incrementally move it forward. this is easiest if you have standard parts (plain old ethernet, IPMI, PXE, x86, 110/220 auto-sensing PS, 1U). people will still use old hardware, if you make it available and easy.

Going "Straight" To The Winner's Circle
We always try to think of the elements of a good, winning setup in terms of priority. It saves time and energy to put the most important items at the top of the list and work on them first. In Circle Track, we stress the importance of moment center design and having a balanced setup to give the car what it wants. Before this can be accomplished, you must address the critical area of chassis tuning.
We have talked about the importance of proper steering related to Ackermann as well as the alignment of the rearend. Now, we will show how to align all the critical parts so the wheels will track true to the path of the race car. Poor alignment can ruin an otherwise great setup.
A good, well-balanced setup is a product of making sure all of the elements are in place. Many times I have run across a car that has all the right ingredients of roll center design-a good balance of front and rear suspension design, and proper weight distribution. It has all the necessary components, except for one thing-it has a serious alignment problem.
Whole-car alignment is critical. Four-wheel alignment can be the final setup parameter that can take you to the front or keep you in the rear of the field. The problem is that no amount of manipulating other setup components will overcome a wheel-alignment problem. While it is probably true that a car out of alignment is more forgiving on dirt, it is important on both dirt and asphalt to have your wheels properly aligned.
1. Toe Settings – Proper toe settings at the front and the rear are important. A set of tires not toed correctly will create a lot of drag, much like applying the brakes.
2. Rear Alignment – The direction that the rearend is pointed in relation to the chassis can dictate how a car will behave in the turns. For example, on turn entry, if the rearend is pointed to the right of the chassis centerline, no amount of setup tuning will prevent the car from being loose. That looseness will stay with the car throughout the turns, especially ruining the turn exit. If the rearend is pointed to the left of the centerline of the chassis, the car will be tight through the middle and off the corner.
3. Front to Rear Tracking – The tire contact patches must track straight ahead from front to rear. In most cases, you need to line up the right-side tire contact patches. The final alignment will show the right-side patches are in line with one another along with the rearend being perpendicular to that line.
4. Ackermann Adjusted – The last alignment priority is making sure you have very little Ackermann, which is the creation of additional front toe as the wheels are turned. On most quarter- to half-mile racetracks, little Ackermann is needed to make sure the wheels are tracking inline with the radius of the turn for each wheel. Calculations show that for those tracks with fairly large radii (much more than was used to design for passenger cars for turning the corner at the stop sign), a small amount of added toe is needed to properly align the front wheels to their individual radii.
There used to be only one reliable way to align a race car. You used a string. You either measured to the tires at hub height or measured at the floor by creating right triangles on the floor. That's still a viable way to do it-and necessary for lower-budget race teams.
A quicker and more accurate way to align the car in all areas is by the use of a laser system. The key to maintaining accuracy in a laser system is to be able to check the tool to make sure the beam is truly tracking at right angles to the mounting device. The unit we used is called a True Laser Track. The laser can be removed from the hub adapter and turned to check if the laser pointed to the same spot on a target. This must be done each and every time we use the tool to check alignment.
The laser system is one that attaches to the wheel hubs (models for both Wide 5 and 5-on-5 hubs) and can be rotated 360 degrees, and leveled both horizontally and vertically. The laser uses targets at each end of the car. For the analog (string) method, the nylon string we used was from the local hardware store.
We will go through the process using both methods in order to show you how to perform each step.
Step 1 – Check both the front wheels and the rear wheels for runout. This means as the wheel rotates, the outer edge of the tire will wobble slightly. You must compensate for this slight distortion by finding the extreme high spot at a point equal in height to the hub height. Use a jackstand to hold the tape steady and rotate the tire, noting the distance from the stand. Upon locating the high point, mark it with an arrow and then rotate the tire (front or rear) so the arrow is at the top pointing straight up.
Now, check the toe at the rearend. Use toe plates for the analog method. Even small amounts of toe are not acceptable. Be careful how each person holds the plates. Do the measurement several times to ensure accuracy.
If using the laser system, thoroughly clean the surface of the hubs and make sure there are no protruding threads from the bolt holes. It is recommended you go over the hub surface with a flat file to eliminate any bulges or edges of metal that would cause the laser to be improperly aligned. Attach the laser to the rear hubs.
Set four targets, two on each side, at equal distances forward and rearward from the vertical center of the rear hubs. Center the laser beam on each target and measure the distance between the centers at the front and also at the rear. If these widths are not the same, the rearend is toed and must be straightened before continuing.
Step 2 – Once the rearend has been toed straight ahead, shine the right rear (RR) laser so that you can measure the offset to a straight framerail at the front and rear or two places offset from the centerline of the chassis. Most car builders will align at least one framerail parallel to the intended centerline of the chassis. It may be located on the right side or at the weight box on the left side next to the driver. Adjust the rearend so that each measurement to the frame is equal. This means the rearend is perpendicular to the framerail and hopefully the intended centerline of the chassis and the installed body.
This measurement can also be done with a string by using a square to come down to the floor, then measuring over to the frame or centerline of the chassis to align the string with the framerail. You can measure over to the tire to check the rearend alignment in relation to the framerail. Equal measurements to the tire front and rear means the rearend is perpendicular to the chassis centerline.
Step 3 – Center the front steering rack. This is done by turning the steering wheel lock to lock, then back half the number of turns from full lock in either direction. Once midrack (or midbox with drag-link steering) is found, lock the steering column with two vise-grip-type pliers. With the lasers attached to the front hubs, level the front lasers (vertically) and reposition the targets so that they are equal distance from the center of the front hubs. We used 14 feet as a convenient distance that would clear the rear of the car, while not extending too far to the front if the space were limited in the garage. Remove the front lasers from the holders and align the centers of the four targets with the beams from the rear lasers.
Reattach the front lasers and rotate the right front laser so that it shines on each target. Note where it is positioned in relation to the centerline. If the point where the beam strikes each right side target is not an equal distance from the target center as well as on the same side, adjust the length of the right side tie rod to align the right front wheel parallel to the rear wheel. The points do not need to be exactly on the target centerline, only equal distance from the centerlines.
With the string, simply measure to each side of the tire with the tape and make both measurements equal by adjusting the tie-rod length.
Step 4 – Once the right front (RF) wheel has been adjusted to point straight ahead parallel to the RR hub, level the RF laser (vertically) to shine the point on the floor. Rotate the RR laser so that its point shines next to the front laser point on the floor. This shows the alignment, side to side, of the tire contact patches, the beams being equal offset distances from the centers of the contact patches. Adjust the Panhard or J-bar length so that the right-side laser beams (tire contact patches) are one point. This means both right side tires are lined up.
As you adjust the rearend side to side, there is a possibility that the alignment will change as the rearend moves laterally. You must recheck to make sure the rearend is still perpendicular to the framerail each time you adjust it. This may take several tries to get both the rearend square and the right-side tire contract patches lined up.
When using the string, you must compensate for the camber of the right front wheel which moves that tire contact patch out. At the hub height, if you line up the tire sidewalls, the RF tire contact patch will be outside that line due to the negative camber present in the RF wheel. Look at the chart to estimate how much to compensate for the camber. Subtract the compensation amount from the offset read at the RF wheel to find how far from the string the RR wheel needs to be in order to line up the right side tire contact patches.
Step 5 – It's time to set the static toe at the front wheels. You can use toe plates to do this. Remember to be careful and accurate and do the measurements several times to be sure of the numbers. Adjust the left-side tie rod to set your toe. Leave the right side alone.
Using the laser, at the left front (LF) hub, align the left-side targets with the LF laser at the front and rear and at 14 feet (168 inches) from the LF hub center. Measure the distance between the front targets and then between the rear targets. The difference in distance will reveal the amount of toe present in the front wheels.
To get the exact toe amount at the tire, first divide the front-to-rear difference by the distance between the targets (front-to-rear) of 336 (two times the 168 inches). This is the toe amount that exists in one inch. Then, multiply this number by the diameter of the tire (tire circumference divided by Pi or 3.1416). On an 85-inch tire, this diameter is 27.05 inches. Multiply the toe-per-inch by the tire diameter and you have the amount of toe in the front end.
Adjust the toe settings so that you have the desired amount of static toe in the front end. If you started out with the LF wheel straight ahead, dialing in 1/8 inch of toe at the tire will require about 3/4 inch of movement of the laser point at the front target. If you adjust your left side tie rod so that the difference in distance between the front and rear targets is 1 1/2 inches, you will have 1/8 inch of toe.
Step 6 – It is now time to measure for the amount of Ackermann present in the steering system. This can only be done accurately with the laser system. The analog method would have you use toe plates with degrees marked on them. These plates, as you will soon see, are not accurate enough for this measurement.
With both front lasers pointed ahead, line up both targets so that the points are exactly on the centerlines. Turn the wheel the approximate amount that the driver does when negotiating the turns at the racetrack. Take the rear targets and place them 14 feet in front of the front hubs, and line up the centerlines with the laser points.
Measure between the two target centerlines on each side. The difference in distance between pairs of targets is now divided by 168 and multiplied by the tire diameter to find the Ackermann toe that is added to the static toe settings. The number should be low, around 1/64 inch of added toe for a half-mile track. This would be around 3/32 inch difference in the amount that each wheel turned (LF turning more than the RF), measured on the targets or 0.097 in decimal inches.
For a tight, quarter-mile track, the added toe due to Ackermann effect should be about 1/16 inch, or about 3/8 inch difference at the targets. Toe plates that might slip slightly cannot come near the amount of accuracy required when dealing with fractions of a degree.
This entire process should take only about an hour or two if there are several team members helping. That is little effort expended to make sure your car will track correctly and that misalignment will not interfere with performance. Repeat this entire process often, especially after kissing the wall or being involved in a crash. Once you're convinced your car is aligned, you can concentrate on the other important aspects of your chassis setup.

There is no option to choose only the "closed" groups next to All-Open-Restricted-Invite only.
This would be nice to be able to reference groups that are generally not active, but still have important information. I originally thought this may be a bug since "closed" is listed as a group status or "Policy" in the administrator interface.

Arab and Muslim community politics is a relatively new phenomenon in the United States and Canada. The emergence of organizations claiming to represent ethnic Arab communities as well as born Muslims, reflect four successive major developments in the North American political and social context. The first was the proliferation of immigrants from Arab countries settling in the U.S., a phenomenon that began to develop some momentum in the 1970s. The second development was the radicalization of Arabs in North America, under the influence of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. In 1982 theMuslim Brotherhood, which Islam expert Robert Spencer has called "the parent organization of Hamas and al Qaeda," adopted a strategic plan known as "The Global Project for Palestine." This Project laid the groundwork for a terrorist "secret apparatus" that eventually would culminate in the creation of Hamas in December 1987 and the unveiling of the Hamas charter in August 1988. As an outgrowth of this project, in May 1991 the Muslim Brotherhood issued to its ideological allies an explanatory memorandum on "the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America." Explaining that the Brotherhood's mission was to establish "an effective and ... stable Islamic Movement" on the continent, this document outlined a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" for achieving that objective. It stated that Muslims "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions." The third development, which was also a consequence of increased immigration, was the arrival of a significant Islamic community on the western side of the Atlantic. Finally, came the period of concern and solidarity motivated by the suffering of Muslims in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Chechnya. This section of DiscoverTheNetworks profiles many radical members of the Muslim faith -- some based in the United States, others abroad. It examines their various worldviews, activities, and agendas.

Dietary supplements designed to reduce body fat often contain multiple stimulant ingredients (see the FAQ about thermogenic fat burners). Taking two or more stimulants together, especially before or during exercise, may be dangerous as they combine to make the body generate even more heat and can predispose a person to heat injury. This effect can also increase the risk of dehydration. In addition, stimulants typically increase heart rate and blood pressure, which is especially dangerous for those with cardiovascular and central nervous system disorders, among other medical conditions.

Malema, Shivambu want back into ANC Youth League
Expelled ANC Youth League president Julius Malema, suspended secretary general Sindiso Magaqa and spokesperson Floyd Shivambu have asked the ANC's national congress – the party's highest decision-making body – to reverse the decision by the party's national disciplinary committee [NDC] and reinstate them to their respective positions.
The trio submitted a comprehensive report to the national conference currently under way in Mangaung through party secretary general Gwede Mantashe, outlining events of the NDC and the appeals committee that culminated with Malema's expulsion and the suspension of Magaqa and Shivhambu.
"We believe that the ANC 53rd national conference should receive this report, which we submitted to the ANC national executive committee for review purposes. We remain loyal supporters and members of the ANC, willing to be corrected and guided under its principles, constitution, values and vision to achieve all Freedom Charter objectives.
"We thus far have avoided the option of going to court because we believe that the national conference of the ANC should be given the opportunity to once again look at the issue of disciplinary process that culminated in the current situation. We believe that in the ANC, discipline should never be used to suppress political dissent and should at times be an intervention to correct and guide comrades of the movement.
"We have thus far withdrawn our participation in the formal structures of the ANC and ANC Youth League, despite the resolution of the ANC Youth League that we remain its leaders until the league's 25th national congress in 2014.
We further write this letter to the national conference as a platform that should deliberate and look into our disciplinary hearing before we explore other options to seek fair hearing and justice," the report said.
As per section 11.3 of the ruling party's constitution, the conference is granted the power to "review, ratify, alter or rescind" any decision taken by the ANC or its constituent bodies. In order for this to be effected, it would involve tabling a motion to nullify all disciplinary charges against Malema to voting delegates at the conference.
Asked whether the ANC conference would discuss Malema's expulsion, Mantashe recently told the reporters in Johannesburg that while Malema's ejection from the ANC could be challenged, it would have to be led by delegates in Mangaung.
"I can't guarantee anything will be debated in Mangaung," Mantashe said. "Many things get discussed but it must be pushed from the floor and forwarded by delegates at the conference."
Disbanding the NEC
Heading into the Mangaung elective conference, there were suggestions that ANC members aligned to President Jacob Zuma would forward a motion to disband the league's national executive committee.
But it is unknown if this would be consistent with the ANC's constitution or if the motion would garner enough support from delegates.
These developments leave Malema's chances of being readmitted to the ANC virtually non-existent.
Malema's support within the ruling party has waned since his expulsion and it would be very difficult for his remaining support base to be associated with the controversial youth leader at the conference.
If Zuma was to be re-elected ANC leader, which appears likely given the overwhelming support he received from delegates during the opening of conference on Sunday, Malema's chances of returning to the ANC could be close to nil. Zuma's supporters have previously accused Malema of disrespecting the ANC president, after he said Zuma was a dictator and comparing him with former president Thabo Mbeki.
Malema also angered some youth league leaders after he attacked its deputy president Ronald Lamola, describing him as a sell-out and a traitor who will never lead the league.

Scooter Braun Reveals Why He Put Justin Bieber on 'Probation' + More in New Yorker
Most Beliebers are well aware of Scooter Braun and his influence on Justin Bieber's life. He's the teen's manager, and often speaks more in the Biebs' cover stories than his client. In an extensive profile on Braun in The New Yorker, we learn why Braun put Bieber, whom he dubs a "superhero," on "probation" and how.
The idea of the ballooning, Braun-fostered Bieber brand is juxtaposed against a shrinking music business in the piece, and Braun's business strategies, his desire to treat his bands like family and his young, nerd-done-good vibe (Mickey Mouse toys, 'Star Wars' tee-shirts, comic book references) are thoroughly discussed.
Some choice revelations from the profile?
The Biebs is a superhero: "Justin Bieber was born with the Superman powers. He could sing, he could dance, he could play instruments. I wasn't born with those gifts, so I had to become a different kind of superhero … I'm a normal Joe. But, with a lot of effort, I've got a shot at being Bruce Wayne."
How does he discipline The Biebs?: The Biebs doesn't always cooperate with the game plan. He is, after all, only 18. Back in June, JB was booked on 'The Tonight Show.' He was an hour late for rehearsal; Braun was already on site. Braun got testy, looking for his "client," called him and yelled "Where are you?" into his phone. He said Biebs asked to be trusted, but "blew it" and was therefore put on "probation." What's that mean? "He has to have somebody come to his house every workday," Braun said.
How does the Biebs see Braun?: While playing a guitar backstage, the Biebs called the guider of his career "persistent," "intelligent" and "good-aggressive." Elaborating on the latter, the 'Boyfriend' singer said, "Like, when he wants something, he's aggressive to get it done. He's not, like, going to beat around the bush." He also called Braun a "close uncle."
How does Braun see himself? "I'm a camp counselor for pop stars," he said. There are worse gigs, you know? He also cultivates his own celebrity status — like we said, Beliebers know who Braun is — by tweeting, appearing on TV with the Biebs and being a mouthpiece in his interviews.
He doesn't like the s—talkers who think he stepped in you-know-what and got rich by discovering the Biebs: After hearing that someone had called him a one-hit wonder, Braun was motivated. "I decided, I'm not just gonna break one new act, I'm going to break two more." His other clients include the Wanted and Carly Rae Jepsen. So he certainly broke more than one new act.

text: I'm sorry if this gets sent out twice. I just joined the list and it didn't seem to post the first time: I just set up our test cluster and need to show it off for my boss so he'll hopefully fund a more advanced beowulf cluster. Right now I'm just piecing together the leftovers from our office computer upgrades. Anyway, we have a lot of fortran models, but no parallel compilers (nor were the original programs written with parallel in mind). But we do run the models several times with scripts changing the input files. I was wondering if there was a way to rewrite these scripts to send the different jobs to different nodes on the cluster. I have the Scyld basic with the master and two slaves. Right now, multiple jobs stay on the master, while the slaves remain idle. Ideally I will begin rewriting the code with multi-proc in mind, but to do that, I have to show off the cluster first. Thanks in advance, Anthony

Rompers & Jumpsuits
We can't get enough of all-in-one rompers and jumpsuits for new season styling.
A cropped leg is key for the jumpsuit, with slouchier silhouettes calling for strappy details and a softer v-neckline. Pops of colour and an off-the-shoulder neckline are a favourite for occasional dressing, while tropical prints and cut-out details update the romper for beach-to-bar cool.
Holiday booked? Dungarees are perfect to throw-on-and-go, just add a cropped tee and sneakers.

Forget a trip to the Bahamas. The new retirement getaway may be a night out at the local Sizzler.
Continue Reading Below
According to two recent surveys, pre-retirees have lowered down their lifestyle goals and investment expectations as they prepare to retire. After years of lackluster growth, it appears many older workers have abandoned the hope that economic conditions will improve significantly before their golden years.
Lowered expectations
An AIG study released this month found most of those 55 and older are taking a more cautious financial approach in the wake of the financial crisis. The slow economy has led many to second-guess their savings strategies, with 72% of survey respondents saying that today's economic climate has served as a financial wake-up call.
As a result, many older Americans are being more careful about where they invest their money:
- 80% say they have a more cautious approach to their finances
- 77% are looking for solutions that will provide lifetime guaranteed income
- 69% value insurance and investments that offer financial stability
In addition, 32% of respondents indicated they plan to look into protecting existing assets -- eight times the number of those who said they plan to invest more aggressively to make up for lost time (4%).
This conservative thinking doesn't only extend to pre-retirees' investments. LIMRA, a consulting firm for the financial services industry, released findings this month that indicate most pre-retirees aren't expecting to live the lifestyle they'd prefer in retirement.
The group's survey of pre-retirees -- those between the ages of 55 and 70 who are not yet retired -- found only 48% believe they will be able to achieve their desired lifestyle once they stop working.
While the recent recession hit some investments hard, LIMRA indicates a bigger problem might be a lack of planning.
"Pre-retirees are feeling insecure about their retirement future, in part because they have not yet taken the steps to plan for retirement," said Matthew Drinkwater, LIMRA associate managing director of Retirement Research, in a written statement. "Our research indicates that retirement preparedness is strongly linked to the completion of key retirement planning activities like determining your income and expenses, calculating your assets and how long they will last, and identifying the things you want to do in retirement and how much they will cost."
Building savings while minimizing risks
Pre-retirees who are weary of risky investments may want to consider other savings options in addition to the stock market. Certificates of deposit (CDs) and money market accounts don't always offer the same returns as stocks, but they can be safe and stable options for those looking to place a portion of their savings in a virtually risk-free account.
Also, the best savings account rates not be far off the yields of conservative stock funds. Forbes recently reported that stable value funds, a conservative type of mutual fund, averaged an annualized rate of return of 2.36% over the past year. Meanwhile, the best savings rates available have been hovering around 1%.
But while conservative stocks may earn more than savings accounts, they also come with fees and the risk of losses. For risk-averse pre-retirees, a combination of stock investments and conservative options such as CDs and savings accounts may offer the best of both worlds: a decent yield and some much-valued stability.

Hydrogel dressings are transparent, usually gel-based and have exceptional wound healing properties. Hydrogel dressings play an important role in wound care. The advantage of using hydrogel for wounds lies in its high water content. It provides a moist healing environment important for fast recovery and regulates fluid exchange from the wound surface.
The high water content of the hydrogel dressing keeps the wound area moist and offers protection from bacterial infection. Therefore, this dressing type promotes healing because moisture is important for wound recovery. Presence of moisture on the wound helps in autolytic debridement – that is removal of necrotic tissues from the wound surface. Hydrogel dressing also assists in wound granulation, epithelialization and epidermis repair plus offers trauma-free dressing change. Because of its cooling sensation, hydrogel gives relief from pain lasting up to six hours.
Features of hydrogel dressings
When to use hydrogel dressings
Hydrogel dressings are beneficial on wounds that are dry and painful.If the wound is necrotic, this dressing eliminates the need for too much cleaning-up during dressing change. Hydrogel bandages do not adhere to the wound thus allowing for pain-free removal.
Hydrogel wound dressings work on several types of wounds such as:
Different types of hydrogel dressings
Hydrogel dressings are available in adhesive and non-adhesive dressing types plus waterproof. You can select from absorbent hydrogel dressings, wound fillers, non-adherent hydrogel dressings, anti-microbial hydrogel dressings, hydrogel gauze dressings, adherent hydrogel dressings, silver hydrogel dressings, hydrocolloid hydrogel and transparent hydrogel dressings.
Hydrogel dressings are available as:
Amorphous hydrogel: It is a free-flowing gel packaged in tubes. Because of its excellent viscosity, this dressing helps fill in deeper wounds which are difficult to treat. It needs a secondary dressing to secure it in place.
Impregnated hydrogel: It is available as gel saturated on to gauze pads, gauze strips and non-woven sponge ropes. Hydrogel impregnated gauze dressings and the others can be used to pack in uneven wound surfaces. Needs a secondary dressing to provide a protective covering.
Sheet hydrogel: Hydrogel is saturated inside a fiber mesh which is thin and flat. Available as non-adhesive but with/without adhesive border. Hydrogel sheet dressings conform easily to the wound area.
When not to use hydrogel wound dressings
Hydrogel for wounds should be avoided if the wound exudate is high and the wound surface is too moist. Therefore, hydrogel wound dressings should not be used on moderate-to-heavily exuding wounds.
We offer high quality hydrogel dressings made by the best in the business like Medline Industries, MPM Medical, Southwest Technologies, Dumex/Derma Sciences, Covidien/Medtronic, Ferris Manufacturing, McKesson and Smith & Nephew.

Last week, Huawei and ZTE were going about their business as usual, but this week, they're the focal points of a report published by the U.S. House Intelligence Committee, accusing them of being threats against US national security.
The report, which is the result of 12-months of research, concludes that the two Chinese companies cannot be trusted, and could be embedding software capable of spying on US citizens in its telecommunications hardware. The recommendation is to block all US company acquisitions by Huawei and ZTE, and that companies should not use their products.
Now that the report has been released, it's easy to see why the committee feels this way, as both Huawei and ZTE failed to provide a lot of information, documentation and answers to a variety of questions. Hardly the response of those with nothing to hide. However, there are two sides to every story, and Huawei and ZTE have now responded to the accusations, publishing statements of their own that — naturally — tell a slightly different one to that of the report.
Huawei starts out by saying "The United States is a country ruled by law, where all charges and allegations should be based on solid evidence and facts. The report … failed to provide clear information or evidence to substantiate the legitimacy of the Committee's concerns."
The company says it "hoped to ensure the investigation would be fact-based and objective in its review" and that it "cooperated with the Committee in an open and transparent manner," but "despite our best effort, the Committee appears to have been committed to a predetermined outcome."
Huawei accuses the Committee of ignoring its proven track record of network security in the United States, and to the "large amount of facts we have provided," as well as using "many rumors and speculations to prove non-existent accusations."
It closes with "we will continue to do the best we can to provide our customers with safe, convenient and equal access to information and communications services."
ZTE makes a recommendation of its own
ZTE has also published a statement on its website. It takes a different approach to Huawei, perhaps because it got off comparatively lightly in the report, by talking about its "vendor-neutral" Trusted Delivery Model; a service where its hardware, software and firmware is examined by an independent US government laboratory. ZTE says it offers this to all its global partners, including 140 governments.
The most interesting part of ZTE's statement comes later though, beginning with a quote from the company's director of global public affairs. He says "It's noteworthy that, after a year-long investigation, the Committee rests its conclusions on a finding that ZTE may not be 'free of state influence.' This finding would apply to any company operating in China."
He continues with "Virtually all of the telecom infrastructure equipment now sold in the US and throughout the world contains components made, in whole or in part, in China." Here's the cheeky part: "Particularly given the severity of the Committee's recommendations, ZTE recommends that the Committee's investigation be extended to include every company making equipment in China, including the Western vendors. It's the only way to truly protect US equipment and US national security."
One could take this section of the statement as being a wry attack on the document's hypocrisy, or those already wearing tin-foil hats could interpret it as "it doesn't matter what you do, we're listening anyway," presumably followed by a maniacal laugh.
The fallout from the damaging report has already claimed it first victim too, as Cisco has ended a sales partnership with ZTE, after it launched an enquiry into the Chinese company for selling Cisco-branded products in Iran, breaking international trade embargoes.
Who will be next?

One of THE BEST of the XL's.....Never get enough of Maria
"Maria Moore has been a favourite of mine since I first laid eyes on her and she's never looked hotter or sexier," says XLGirls supporter K.S. "My two favourite SCORE Group models of all time are Maria and Cherry Brady." When last we saw Maria here, she was riding and sucking the love club. In this new pictorial from XL Girls magazine SP #173, Maria invites you into the bathroom to enjoy the sight of her alone, soaping and washing her enormous and heavy pom-poms as well as her sweet spots. She's more impressive than ever. As she said a few years ago in our studio, "My boobs have this affect on people when they're around them. They can't help but like them. They're hypnotic or something. They turn people into boob people, men and women." She's absolutely right.

Ruth Adams Robinhold, 99, of Lafayette Hill, a founder of the Philadelphia Girls' Rowing Club, died Dec. 13 of pneumonia at Chestnut Hill Hospital.
In 1938, when rowing was a predominantly male sport, Mrs. Robinhold advertised in a local newspaper, seeking women to form a rowing club. Of the nearly 100 women who showed up, 17 paid a $5 monthly fee to form the club, which is believed to be the oldest competitive rowing club in the United States.
In 1968 the organization was the first American women's rowing club to win the U.S. National Rowing Championships. In 1967, the club represented the United States in international competition at the European Championships in Vichy, France.
Mrs. Robinhold, who continued to row on the Schuylkill well into her 80s, met her first husband while preparing to row. In 1939, William Robinhold, of the Undine Barge Club, helped carry her boat to the dock. They were married for 64 years until his death in 2003.
She retired in 1969 as a manager of mortgage insurance at First Pennsylvania Bank in Center City, where she had worked for 20 years. Earlier she had worked as a cost account at the John B. Stetson Hat Co.
A graduate of Germantown High School, she spent most of her life in Lafayette Hill, where she raised many strains of rhododendron and won awards at the American Rhododendron Society in the Philadelphia Chapter Truss Show. She was a volunteer on the Whitemarsh Township Shade Tree Commission for five years.
During World War II she did volunteer work for the Eighth Air Force and also was a volunteer nurse's aide at Hahnemann Hospital.
Mrs. Robinhold moved in 2004 to Masonic Village at Lafayette Hill, where she met Richard Henderson. They were married in 2007.
In addition to her husband she is survived by a niece and nephew.
Funeral services were held Dec. 18 at the Lownes Funeral Home in Lafayette Hill. Memorial donations may be made to Zion Lutheran Church, 654 Bethlehem Pike, Flourtown, PA 19031. – WF
