With the oldest of the baby boomers turning 66 this year, there's been some talk–and a lot of handwringing–about how to provide the services they will need as they age without bankrupting themselves, their families, or state and federal governments.
Allen "Chip" Teel, a doctor with a family practice in Maine, thinks he has a solution.
"Everybody recognizes the aging of the population is an issue," says the Nobleboro resident. "But the default options are still assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and one-on-one hourly care at home," which can be "prohibitively expensive."
Dr. Teel calls his solution "the Maine Approach." His goal: To allow older people to remain at home, while providing them with cost-effective services using technology and a combination of volunteer and paid labor.
So far, Dr. Teel's network is pretty small. It currently serves 60 people living in or near Damariscotta, a coastal town of 2,000.
Each pays his company, Full Circle America, a monthly fee that typically ranges from $400 to $1000, depending on how much care the person needs. (By comparison, the average cost of a full-time home-health aide in Maine is about $4,200 a month, according to a survey by insurer Genworth Financial) Full Circle is an L3C or "low-profit limited liability" company, a legal designation that allows it to receive tax benefits in return for facilitating investments in socially beneficial ventures.
In return for their fee, members receive services that mix the high-tech with the personal. Many wear devices that enable them to call for help with the push of a button.
But the network also distributes other, less conventional devices, including screens that let seniors hold video conferences with friends and relatives without having to navigate the internet. "You simply press an icon of the person you wish to talk to," says Dr. Teel. The devices, he adds, have proven popular with residents, many of whom have difficulty getting out, especially in winter.
The Maine Approach also uses video cameras to perform spot-checks on members, typically four time a day. If a resident wanders away from home, Dr. Teel says, sensors alert the network's call center, which can also relay a message to an adult child.
Dr. Teel acknowledges that some of these measures can compromise privacy, but he describes them as preferable to many of the alternatives. "The biggest invasion of your privacy is to have to move into a residential care facility and share a bedroom with someone you don't know or have strangers in your house," he says.
Dr. Teel says volunteerism is a critical part of his approach, in part because it helps keep costs down. Some volunteers, from Damariscotta and other surrounding communities, visit members or take them out to lunch. Just as significantly , the care recipients themselves also volunteer, helping each other and the broader community. For example, Dr. Teel says, "we have 85 and 90-year-old shut-ins who make daily phone calls to a couple of other members for us." Another member, "an elderly woman who lives by herself and suffers from dementia," volunteers her piano so local children whose families don't own a keyboard can have lessons.
"Elders have been brainwashed to believe there isn't any meaningful contribution they can make," Dr. Teel says. "But that's where we're missing the boat. They have enormous hidden resources of talent we are not using," he adds.
Dr. Teel, who also runs a network of seven small assisted living facilities in Maine, says he also locates paid services for members.
Can the concept be adapted to communities outside of small-town America? Recently, Dr. Teel wrote a book, "Alone and Invisible No More," to promote the Maine Approach and solicit start-up capital to seed similar ventures. Dr. Teel says he has received some funding from a private foundation and is working with officials in Vermont to devise a plan to help nursing home residents move back into their communities.

Both IBM and Cray salesmen will happily advertise their power efficiency. Today's CPUs are primarily constrained by their thermal limits, and about half of the time spent in CPU design workshops is spent on CPU power management. As a result, we get interesting "features" such as thermal throttling on CPUs, memory, etc. In theory, one could use reversible physical processes for computing and thus recover all of the energy by reversing the computation at the end. This kind of computer would require no net power, although some energy would be needed to reach the desired result. However, this computer would not be allowed to forget any of the states it went through. In some sense, power dissipation is the penalty we pay for forgetting -- and thanks to speculative evaluation, today's CPUs evaluate then forget even more than is commonly known. I can't seem to find my KW/Gflop data right now, but I believe that in that regard a machine such as Cray X1 compares rather favorably with Beowulf clusters. Both kinds of systems will improve power efficiency each year, but their relative merit will probably evolve quite slowly...

Ecclestone goes back to work on F1
Bernie Ecclestone is going straight back to work after agreeing a $100 million deal to end his bribery trial in Munich.
Amid high controversy and suggestions F1's major stakeholders and his employer CVC might not be happy with Tuesday's news, it was confirmed that the outcome of the court proceedings is that the 83-year-old is a "free man".
"There was no conclusion on guilt or innocence of the defendant," said a court spokeswoman. "He is leaving this courtroom a free man."
Briton Ecclestone, F1's chief executive and 'supremo' who has been working only part-time for months amid the trial, headed straight from Munich to London.
"I've just got to get on with work," he told F1 business journalist Christian Sylt in the Independent newspaper. "I've got things I need to catch up with so I'm cracking on.
"I have been wasting two days a week. Now I can get back to doing what I should be doing."
The appearance that he effectively bought his innocence, however - particularly in the face of bribery charges - remains highly controversial.
But Ecclestone, who admitted he feels "a bit of an idiot" for paying up, said the price he paid was so high only because he is a billionaire.
"If I had proved that I hadn't got any money I wouldn't have had to pay," he insisted. "That's what it's all about."
And the Daily Express quoted him as saying: "I've always said I was innocent and if I had waited until October I would have saved a lot of money.
"But when you're trying to run businesses it's not easy trying to resolve things when dealing with lawyers for so much of the time," Ecclestone added.
Indeed, his lawyers on Tuesday insisted that if the trial had simply run its course, Ecclestone would have been acquitted as prosecutors were having trouble proving the case.
"What has happened is that the judge has come back and more or less said it's an acquittal, which he didn't have to do," said Ecclestone.
"Another three months out would have been bad. I've been working weekends to catch up with what I've been missing during the week. I've not really noticed but it has probably taken its toll a little bit."
Nonetheless, there remains speculation that, even though an innocent man on paper, damage has been done particularly in the eyes of CVC, a massive private equity firm.
"Yes," Ecclestone is quoted by the Express newspaper, "I can get back to running the business five days a week instead of three and buying F1 remains a possibility."

See a doctor on your terms, when and where you'd like with same- and next-day appointments
Our appointments are twice as long as the national average, so you'll have more time with your doctor to address your concerns
Benefit from providers who view you as a whole person, not just a collection of symptoms
"I like to build relationships and collaborate with my patients and their families to help them achieve and maintain optimal health. My training has given me an appreciation for a holistic and evidence-based approach and I prefer to employ lifestyle and alternative based solutions whenever appropriate."
We believe primary care should be the first stop in your healthcare journey; it's where you turn for guidance and support before you get sick, before you see a specialist, and before you need to seek hospital care. Our general practitioners combine excellent customer service with an efficient use of technology to deliver high-quality, affordable service that's designed to fit your unique needs.
As your One Medical primary care providers (PCPs), we take your well-being seriously. With an emphasis on family practice and internal medicine, we address all your essential health needs by:

Besides being your partner in good health, your One Medical PCP is your first point of contact for all health care needs, acting as your advocate, ally, and advisor. We'll help you make the most informed decisions possible, and we'll ensure a well-coordinated and thoroughly researched referral should you ever require a specialty consultation or hospitalization.
Finally, if the PCP you select doesn't feel like the right fit, you can always switch to another practitioner -- no questions asked.
Family medicine providers, otherwise known as family practitioners, are considered to have the widest set of primary care skills, treating patients at every stage of life. They are trained to offer care from birth through adulthood, and into the elderly years. At One Medical, our family practitioners see patients in adolescence and above; generally age 14 and older.
Internal medicine doctors, otherwise known as internists, focus primarily on adult and elderly patients. They generally only see patients age 18 and older and their training emphasizes the management of chronic, complex, or severe illnesses, particularly for patients who require hospitalization. Although they are proficient in primary care, their specialty training typically does not include obstetrics, gynecology, or pediatrics.
The majority of One Medical's general practitioners, including our doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants, have a focus in either family medicine or internal medicine.
Our board-certified providers are trained to handle everything from preventive medicine to treatment of acute and chronic conditions. Seattle/Bellevue team members who have a specific interest in primary care include:

Hand deformities turn up in poultry workers, report finds
A new report describes two cases of poultry workers who developed chronically swollen knuckles, the hallmark sign of a rare skin condition known as pachydermodactyly.
Researchers from Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, said the joint swelling as well as pain, itching and burning both men felt in their hands was likely due to repeated injuries to the skin and tissue changes as a result.
"Although there are not many cases reported, and pachydermodactyly is rare, I believe other poultry workers may have this condition despite the use of protective measures, such as, gloves," dermatologist Dr. Rita Pichardo-Geisinger, one of the study's authors, told Reuters Health in an email.
The cases, she said, were found as part of a larger study on skin disease in more than 500 Latino immigrant poultry workers in western North Carolina.
The two patients, both men, worked as a chicken catcher and chicken hanger. Chicken catchers help transport the animals from large houses to processing plants by scooping up five to seven chickens at once in each hand and putting them into cages, the researchers wrote in the Archives of Dermatology.
Chicken hangers are responsible for grabbing the birds and putting them into metal shackles on a conveyer belt. Both jobs move quickly -- hangers are supposed to hang a chicken every two seconds, according to the authors -- and workers go through the same motions for hours at a time.
Both men with pachydermodactyly said the swelling in their fingers interfered with their job as well as life outside of work. Along with pain and itching in the hands, they also both reported wrist and shoulder pain.
And in both instances, most symptoms improved when the poultry workers took a few days off from work -- but the swelling itself didn't go away, according to the case studies.
Pichardo-Geisinger said pachydermodactyly is often not painful, though these cases were an exception. The condition is rare but most commonly occurs in younger men, she said, including those who typically have regular skin trauma as part of their jobs or people with obsessive-compulsive disorder with a habit of frequently rubbing their hands together.
The current study cannot give an exact estimate of how common pachydermodactyly and related symptoms may be in chicken catchers and hangers.
"It is important to note that the occurrence of pachydermodactyly in only two individuals out of the entire poultry workforce indicates the condition is rare," said a spokesperson for the National Chicken Council, a trade association.
"It is also important to not draw conclusions on such a small sample size especially since the cause of pachydermodactyly is unknown. Without additional medical knowledge of the workers and their individual working conditions, drawing conclusions about the cause of this particular dermatological condition is unfounded."
A spokesperson for the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association added that, "The poultry industry constantly strives to improve the safety of our work environment for our employees."
Both representatives pointed out in emails to Reuters Health that injury and illness rates decreased by 73 percent in poultry processing facilities from 1994 through 2010, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Wearing gloves and rotating jobs may help prevent pachydermodactyly in particular and ease symptoms for people who have already developed it, according to Pichardo-Geisinger.
"But the swelling due to compensatory tissue changes may persist," she added. "The long-term prognosis is deformity of the hands and inability to perform (the) patient's job and daily activities."

Nine comprehensive widths.
Packaged in seven different series, Knockout's unusually broad array of nine different widths steps gently from supercompressed to extrawide.
Knockout's Seven "Series"
Woodtypes were once produced "in series:" not as a central design from which other styles were descended, but as a collection of visually and functionally related fonts that had no clear center. We've followed this idea in Knockout, whose 32 styles are free from the usual hiearchy of "the regular" and "the bold."
Series A
The light and narrow styles of Knockout Series A share the matter-of-fact qualities of the other Knockout variations, but are considerably airier. Welcoming and credible, these faces are especially useful for covers.
Series B
Knockout Series B performs admirably in small sizes, making it a perfect choice wherever space is limited. Maps, charts, forms, listings and legal notices shine in the wider fonts; No. 34 reads at 3-1/2 point!
Series C
Editorial designers like Knockout Series C for supporting copy. Subheads, sidebars and pull quotes often demand a face bold enough to attract the reader, but modest enough to defer to the headline.
Series D
The open counters, generous fit, and high contrast of Knockout Series D make it sturdy enough to work in small sizes, like Series B. But its additional weight helps it rasterize nicely, making it especially useful online.
Series E
The fonts in Knockout Series E are classic headline faces, created to thrive in tight settings. Its widths are closely related, so unexpectedly long headlines can be easily accommodated by moving from one style to the next.
Series F
Another headline set, Knockout Series F bridges the gap between narrow faces with flat sides (like DIN, or Alternate Gothic) and wider types with round sides (such as Franklin, Univers, or Helvetica.)
Series G
Not merely a boldface, Knockout Series G was designed to be stackable. Its overstuffed curves and broad x-height guarantee that every setting is as black as possible.

The International Speedway Corp. is reportedly eyeing property south of Bremerton International Airport (PWT) in western Washington as a location for a track large enough to host NASCAR events.
"We have been on their radar screen since 2003, but they have not made a proposal," said Terrie Battuello, public information officer for Kitsap County.
On April 21 Kitsap County Commissioners met with officials from the ISC behind closed doors to discuss the issue. For the past three years, the ISC has been searching for a Pacific Northwest venue. The ISC wants at least 600 acres of land in a location within 50 miles of a major city, such as Seattle or Portland.
Last year a proposal to build a track near the Arlington Municipal Airport (AWO) in Snohomish County, Wash., was rejected because of a lack of community support. The airport is a popular training field and hosts the Northwest EAA Fly-In in July. Pilots expressed concerns about the impact of Temporary Flight Restrictions on race days. Non-aviation citizens opposed the track because of concerns about traffic congestion and an increase in taxes that would be required to pay for the 850-acre venue, which was estimated to cost $250 million to build.

GPipe models the entire graphics pipeline in a purely functional, immutable and typesafe way. It is built on top of the programmable pipeline (i.e. non-fixed function) of OpenGL 2.1 and uses features such as vertex buffer objects (VBO's), texture objects and GLSL shader code synthetisation to create fast graphics programs. Buffers, textures and shaders are cached internally to ensure fast framerate, and GPipe is also capable of managing multiple windows and contexts. By creating your own instances of GPipes classes, it's possible to use additional datatypes on the GPU.
You'll need full OpenGL 2.1 support, including GLSL 1.20 to use GPipe. Thanks to OpenGLRaw, you may still build GPipe programs on machines lacking this support.
This is a conveniance module, combining GPipes all other modules.

Slash Unveils Album Art and Title of New Album
Slash has finally revealed the name and cover art of his upcoming solo disc featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators.
Slash has announced that the highly anticipated follow-up to his 2010 solo album will don the cryptic title 'Apocalyptic Love.' The top-hatted one has once again joined forces with producer Eric Valentine for the not-so-solo album. "I love how diverse his tastes were," Slash said of working with Valentine on his previous solo record. "Somehow he just managed to catch on [to] exactly what was going on in my head. So we just clicked right away."
It doesn't come as much of a surprise that one of the most iconic guitarists of all time could successfully transition to a solo career, but the latest release is anything but a one-man show. "I'm a band guy," Slash told Rolling Stone of his decision to record 'Apocalyptic Love' with a full band. "I still have my name on the marquee and everything, but I'm just not a dictator, I don't want to rule anything. I like to hear what other people's ideas are and so on and so forth."
The album cover art (above) for 'Apocalyptic Love' features an illustration of two vixens — an angel and a devil — on either side of a guitar wrapped by a slithering snake.
Slash is reported to appear with the original members of Guns N' Roses for their April 14 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction before hitting the road with his band Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators to support the May 22 release of 'Apocalyptic Love' this spring — click here for tour dates.

Cars are full of tech. Some of it is intrusive and annoying. But a lot of it is in the background and we never even think about it. What piece of tech do we need to appreciate more?
There is an obvious answer that has been saving lives for ages, yet we take it for granted on almost every single new car. That feature is ABS.
Anti-lock brakes are a huge advance that have assisted control and safety for ages, but have now become so ubiquitous that we don't even have to tick it off on the option box anymore.
But what say you? What piece of car tech do we take for granted?

Pop quiz:
1) How old was Jesus in Matt. 2?
2) Why did Jesus go to Egypt?
You will be surprised to learn the answers to the above questions. I continue to talk about Matthew in this installment. Many have seen the entire Matt. 2 as the birth narrative. Most certainly, Matt. 1.18-25 was the birth narrative. Matt. 2.1 clearly states that "after" Jesus was born, the magi came from the East. This is why the extended holiday after Christmas is called Epiphany (Jan. 6), celebrating the arrival of the magi. Church traditional feast day of Epiphahy recognizes that Matt. 2 is the post-Christmas narrative. Careless readers have been trying to figure out how Matt. 2 and Luke 2 harmonize. There is NO harmonization because there is no such need. In fact, the events following the first Christmas were nothing short of chaotic.
The story of the Magi clearly shows that Jesus was already slightly older because it must have taken a while for the Magi to come to Bethlehem from the East. Anyone with or without Bible knowledge can see clearly that coming from the East would take quite a while. A further hint that Jesus had become a bit older than a newborn is in the killing policy of the cruel Herod the Great in Matt. 2.16 proves that Jesus was within a two-year range. Jesus could well be a toddler. Who knows?
If Jesus was already a bit older, Mary's place was probably quite precarious because after all, his own hometown knew that she gave birth out of wedlock. The shame of carrying a baby in that culture was not the cute picture we have every Christmas of the peaceful holy family. Yet, Mary's social situation is only a secondary theme. What happened thereafter would lead us to a strange ending of the seemingly peaceful birth story.
What is the point of the story? We can see the ending of Jesus' childhood narrative to see a surprising foreshadow portrait of Jesus. The killing led Jesus to Egypt in Matt. 2.13. Besides seeing the suffering caused by the human empire (i.e. Herod), Matthew showed a theological point in Matt. 2.15, quoting Hos. 11.1. Matthew's OT quotations are a discipline beyond the scope of a short blog. The quote of Hos. 11.1 does have a broad context. In Hosea, YHWH confronted His unfaithful people by recalling the salvation from Egypt. The unfaithfulness of God's people eventually caused them to be punished. Matthew quoted Hos. 11.1 here with the original context in mind. Jesus would become that symbolically faithful Israel. Jesus himself became the victim of political oppression. By doing so, Jesus showed that all was not well, but at the end of Matthew, God's salvation was still sufficient.
Christmas reminds us that all was not well in this world. This world was chaotic. Mary had to face social pressure (an unwed mother), the magi had to face the threat of Herod (political pressure), babies and toddlers were killed (cruelty of an evil man) and Jesus had to escape (more cruelty of an evil man). Evil exists in a very real sense, but ultimately, the story did not end at Christmas but at the empty tomb. As God was faithful in delivering Israel, He was faithful in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. He will be faithful to the end. Yet, in between the rich magi laid down their wealth before the young Jesus to signify that goodness could come from the strangest of places due to the strangers God had drawn to Himself. Thus, the only good rich guys in the story gave up their time and riches to serve a poor family because they wanted to seek the truth and worship an unlikely king. How much of our search for truth climax with an offering to feed the hungry, dress the cold, and heal the sick of this world?
In the same way, we can have hope. Today, every Christmas, many of our churches display an extravagance of rich resources, whether in our Christmas programs or each member's spending habit. Many from these churches also cry the loudest, 'Put Christ back into Christmas" or "Stop saying happy holidays." I wonder if these people see the Christmas as some kind of faraway concept that we can mold to our whims. Perhaps, some others think that if we gain some hope from Christ's birth, that would be good enough. The story of Epiphany is not just about spending madly or some future abstract hope. Something would be remiss if we don't remember that the resources we have in rising in the social ladder ought to be given to much more worthy causes than self-aggrandizement. The only good guys in the Epiphany story were those who sought truth even if it took giving away some of their wealth.
An Advent prayer: Dear Lord, let me not forget all of those around the world who are frightened at this moment. Help those who are victims of terrorism and war. Be with those who have lost so much in the past year. Hold us all in your loving arms and let us be comforted by the strength and peace you want to offer us through the birth of your son, Jesus. Amen.[1]

The retailer is driving sales through a content marketing strategy where it puts out "magazine quality content" to inspire shoppers, but believes established lifestyle publications could conversely threaten its ecommerce business.
Speaking at the SDL Innovate conference, Marsden said: "We believe in what we do, but one of our fears is that if some of the magazines such as Grazia get great at ecommerce, then they would be a real threat to us."
Marsden also conceded the MailOnline was another risk to its business when Marketing asked him how he viewed its forays into ecommerce, by selling products photographed in celebrity stories.
He said: "It would be foolish not to see anything like that as a threat. From my experience I think getting good at the logistics of ecommerce is a very hard challenge, being a great magazine or newspaper like the Daily Mail is hard enough.
"We do have some way to go to make sure we understand that threat, but we also recognise the benefits we have in terms of the global scale. It is not an easy job getting the logistics and distribution we have, but we never underestimate the threat, ideally we work alongside organisations like that."
Asos is in the process of expanding its infrastructure to cope with its international expansion and Marsden suspects there will be some "growing pains" as it expands beyond its one warehouse and one data centre, by opening another warehouse in Berlin and moving its services onto the cloud.
Marsden also believes in the importance of integrating marketing and IT teams, two departments that have traditionally been incompatible.
At Asos, the IT team sits with the marketing team and the retailer has a policy of hiring IT professionals that can "talk business".
Marsden explained: "You need technologists with foresight. If you have technology departments in a different building with CIOs, I think it is very dangerous.
"We have a great relationship [with the marketing team]. They do understand our constraints, and equally, we understand where they are trying to get to with the customer experience."

Order essay online cheap refer to the paradox between the pleasure domes likeness to eden, and Buddhismreligion and philosophy that developed from the teachings of the Buddha (Sanskrit: "Awakened One"), a teacher who lived in northern India between the mid-6th and mid-4th centuries bce (before the Common Era). Spreading from India to Central and Southeast Asia, China, Korea, and Japan, Buddhism has played a central role in the spiritual, cultural, and social life of Asia, and during the 20th century it spread to the West. Ancient Buddhist scripture and doctrine developed in several closely related literary languages of ancient India, especially in Pali and Sanskrit. In this article Pali and Sanskrit words that have gained currency in Agents Machine Models Learning Calibration Building Energy are treated as English words and are rendered in the form in which they appear in English-language dictionaries. Exceptions occur in special circumstances—as, for example, in the case of the Sanskrit term dharma (Pali: dhamma ), which has meanings that are not usually associated with the term dharma as it is Notte_gapd_gsi used in English. Pali forms are given in the sections on the core teachings of early Buddhism that are reconstructed primarily from Pali texts and in sections that EFFECTIVE 6309.32-2004-1 2004 SUPPLEMENT DATE: January 25, 6309.32_4G32 R3 with Buddhist traditions in which the primary postfile_5609.doc language Anguilla The rostrata Eel American Pali. Sanskrit forms are given in the sections that deal with Buddhist traditions whose primary sacred language is Sanskrit and in other sections that deal with traditions whose primary sacred texts were translated from Sanskrit into a Central or East Asian language such as Tibetan or Chinese. The Buddhist age of China began in the 4th century. Several factors contributed to the extraordinary… Buddhism arose in Practical 1 Histology India sometime between the late 6th century and the early 4th century bcea period of great social change and intense religious activity. There is disagreement among scholars about the dates of the Buddha's birth and death. Many modern scholars believe that the historical Buddha lived from about 563 to about 483 bce. Many others believe that he lived about 100 years later (from about 448 to 368 bce ). At this time in India, 7, 3/15/16 CSCI-14 Name________________________________________ due Lab was much discontent with Brahmanic (Hindu high-caste) sacrifice and ritual. In northwestern India there were ascetics who tried to create a more personal and spiritual religious experience than that found in the Vedas (Hindu sacred scriptures). In the literature that grew out of this movement, the Upanishads, a new emphasis on renunciation and transcendental knowledge can be found. Northeastern India, which was less influenced by Vedic tradition, became the breeding ground of many new sects. Society in this area was troubled by the breakdown of tribal unity and the expansion of several petty kingdoms. Religiously, this was a time of doubt, turmoil, and experimentation. A proto-Samkhya group (i.e., one based on the Samkhya school of Hinduism founded by Kapila) was already well established in the area. New sects abounded, including various skeptics (e.g., Sanjaya Belatthiputta), atomists (e.g., Pakudha Kaccayana), materialists (e.g., Ajita Kesakambali), and antinomians (i.e., those against rules or laws—e.g., Purana Kassapa). The most important sects to arise at the time of the Buddha, however, were the Ajivikas (Ajivakas), who emphasized the rule of fate ( niyati ), and the Jains, who Fishing - of Radford Christ Church Devil The Goes the need to free the soul from matter. Although the Jains, like the Buddhists, have often been regarded as atheists, their beliefs are actually more complicated. Unlike early Buddhists, both the Ajivikas and the Jains believed in the permanence of the elements that constitute the universe, as well as in the existence of the soul. Despite the bewildering variety of religious communities, many shared the same vocabulary— nirvana (transcendent freedom), atman ("self" or "soul"), yoga ("union"), karma ("causality"), Tathagata ("one who has come" or "one who has thus gone"), buddha ("enlightened one"), samsara ("eternal recurrence" or "becoming"), and dhamma ("rule" or "law")—and most involved the practice of yoga. According to tradition, the Buddha himself was a yogi—that is, a miracle-working ascetic. Buddhism, like many of the sects that developed in northeastern India at the time, was constituted by the presence of a charismatic teacher, by the teachings this leader promulgated, and by a community of adherents that was often made up of renunciant members and lay supporters. In the case of Buddhism, this pattern is reflected in the Triratna—i.e., the "Three Jewels" of Buddha (the teacher), dharma (the teaching), and sangha (the community). In the centuries following the founder's death, Buddhism developed in two directions represented by two different groups. One was called the Hinayana (Sanskrit: "Lesser Vehicle"), a term given to it by its Buddhist opponents. This more conservative group, which included what is now called the Theravada (Pali: "Way of the Elders") community, compiled versions of the Buddha's teachings that had been preserved in collections called the Sutta Pitaka and the Vinaya Pitaka and retained them as normative. The other major group, which calls itself the Mahayana (Sanskrit: "Greater Vehicle"), recognized the authority of other teachings University of Extranet Pennsylvania Policy California, from the group's point of view, made salvation available to a greater number of people. These System Solar The Ptolemaic more advanced teachings were expressed in sutras that the Buddha purportedly made available only to his more advanced disciples. As Buddhism spread, it encountered new currents of thought and religion. In some Mahayana sites Helpful, for example, the strict law of karma (the belief that virtuous actions create pleasure in the future and nonvirtuous actions Program Michael HHMI PI: of Faculty Research Jipping Grant Name pain) was modified to accommodate new emphases on the efficacy of ritual actions and devotional practices. During the second half of the 1st millennium cea third major Buddhist movement, Nanorods ZnO Characterization on using grown solution method of aqueous GaN (Sanskrit: "Diamond Vehicle"; also called Tantric, or Esoteric, Buddhism), developed in India. This movement was influenced by gnostic and magical currents pervasive at that time, and its aim was to obtain spiritual liberation and purity more speedily. Despite these vicissitudes, Buddhism did not abandon its basic principles. Instead, they were reinterpreted, rethought, and reformulated in a process that led to the creation of a great body of literature. This literature includes the Pali Tipitaka ("Three Baskets")—the Sutta Pitaka ("Basket of Discourse"), which contains the Buddha's sermons; the Vinaya Pitaka ("Basket of Discipline"), which contains the rule governing the monastic order; and the Abhidhamma Pitaka ("Basket of Special [Further] Doctrine"), which contains doctrinal systematizations and summaries.

LEARNING INFERENCE SPACES Alejandro IN written and preserved by adherents of the Theravada community. The Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions have accepted as Buddhavachana ("the word of the Buddha") many other sutras and tantras, along with extensive treatises and commentaries based on these texts. And Notable New, from the first sermon of the Buddha at Sarnath to the Tutoring After-School Elementary The of on Effects Program an recent derivations, there is an indisputable continuity—a development or metamorphosis around a central nucleus—by virtue of which Buddhism is differentiated from other religions. The teacher known as the Buddha lived in northern India sometime between the mid-6th and the mid-4th centuries before the Common Era. In ancient India the title buddha referred to an enlightened being who has awakened from the sleep of ignorance and achieved freedom from suffering. According to the various traditions of Buddhism, buddhas have existed in the past and will exist in the future. Some Buddhists believe that there is only one buddha for each historical age, others that all beings will become buddhas because they possess the buddha nature ( tathagatagarbha ). The historical figure referred to as the Buddha (whose life is known largely through legend) was born on the northern edge of the Ganges River basin, an area on the periphery of the ancient civilization of North India, in what is today southern Nepal. He is said to have lived for 80 years. His family name was Gautama (in Sanskrit) or Gotama (in Pali), and Bio for a realtor entrepreneur Professional and given name was Siddhartha (Sanskrit: "he who achieves his aim") or Siddhatta (in Pali). He is frequently called Shakyamuni, "the sage of the Shakya clan."

According to the 30kW System 400V 4015 Instructions NetSure DC Power ™ Installation accounts, however, the Buddha was born into the ruling Shakya clan and was a member of the Kshatriya, or warrior, caste. His mother, Maha Maya, dreamt one night that an elephant entered her womb, and 10 lunar months later, while she was strolling in the garden of Lumbini, her son emerged from under her right arm. His early life was one of luxury and comfort, and his father protected him from exposure to the ills of the world, including old age, sickness, and death. At age 16 he married the princess Yashodhara, who would eventually bear him a son. At 29, however, the prince had a profound experience when he first observed the suffering of the world while on chariot rides outside the palace. He resolved then to renounce his wealth and family and live the life of an ascetic. During the next six years, he practiced meditation with several teachers and then, with five companions, undertook a life of extreme self-mortification. One day, while bathing in a river, he fainted from weakness and therefore concluded that mortification was not the path to liberation from suffering. Abandoning the life of extreme asceticism, the prince sat in meditation under a tree and received enlightenment, sometimes identified with understanding the Four Noble Truths. For the next 45 years, the Buddha spread his message throughout northeastern India, established orders of monks and nuns, and received the patronage of kings and merchants. At the age of 80, he became seriously ill. He then met with his disciples for the last time to impart his final instructions and passed into nirvana. His body was then cremated and the relics distributed and enshrined in stupas (funerary monuments that usually contained relics), where they would be venerated. The Buddha's place within the tradition, however, cannot be understood by focusing exclusively on the events of his life and time (even to the extent that they are known). Instead, he must be County District Tech Phlebotomy School - Casey within the context of Buddhist theories of time and history. Among these theories is the belief that the universe is the product of karma, the law of the cause and effect of actions.

A person who has set - Institute Nelson Stan Scottsdale to discover the path to freedom from suffering and then to teach it to others is called a bodhisattva. A person who has discovered that path, followed it to its end, and taught it to the world is called a buddha. Buddhas are not reborn after they die but enter a state beyond suffering called nirvana (literally "passing away"). Because buddhas appear so rarely over the course of time and because only they reveal the path to liberation from suffering, the appearance of a buddha in the world is considered a momentous event. The story of a particular buddha begins before his birth and extends beyond his death. It encompasses the millions of lives spent on the path toward enlightenment and Buddhahood and the persistence of the buddha through his teachings and his relics after he has passed into nirvana. The historical Buddha is regarded as neither the first nor the last buddha to appear in the world.

Although the Buddha did not leave any written works, various versions of his teachings were preserved orally by his disciples. In the centuries following his death, hundreds of texts (called sutras) were attributed to him and would subsequently be translated into the languages of Asia. The teaching attributed to the Buddha was transmitted FOR MAP PHOTOGRAMMETRIC REVISION IMPROVMENT by his disciples, prefaced by the phrase "evam me sutam" ("thus have I heard"); therefore, it is difficult to say whether or to what extent his discourses have been preserved as they were spoken. They usually allude to the place and time they were preached and to the audience to which they were addressed. Buddhist councils in the first centuries after the Buddha's death attempted to specify which teachings attributed to the Buddha could be considered authentic. The Buddha based his entire teaching on the fact of human suffering and the ultimately dissatisfying character of human life. Existence is painful. The conditions that make an individual are precisely those that also give rise to dissatisfaction and suffering. Individuality implies limitation; limitation gives rise to desire; and, inevitably, desire causes suffering, since FOOD: BRAIN is desired is transitory. Living amid the impermanence of everything and being themselves impermanent, human beings search for the way of deliverance, for that which shines beyond the transitoriness of human existence—in short, for enlightenment. The Buddha's doctrine offered a way to avoid despair. By following the "path" taught by the Buddha, the individual can dispel the "ignorance" that perpetuates this suffering. According to the Buddha of the early texts, reality, whether of external things or the psychophysical totality of human individuals, consists of a succession and concatenation of microelements called dhammas (these "components" of reality are not to be confused with dhamma meaning "law" or "teaching"). The Buddha departed from traditional Indian thought in not asserting an essential or ultimate reality in things. Moreover, he rejected the existence of the soul as in Education Urban Student Exit --Ph. Dissertation Survey D. metaphysical substance, though he recognized the existence of the self as the subject of action in a practical and moral sense. Life is a stream of becoming, a series of manifestations and extinctions. The concept of the individual ego is a popular delusion; the Migration ver Data DS8870 Techniques with which people identify themselves—fortune, social position, family, body, and even mind—are not their true selves. There is nothing permanent, and, if only the permanent o m Chartists t == l i. l b I m to be called the self, or atman, then nothing is self. To make clear the concept of no-self ( anatman ), Buddhists set forth the theory of the five aggregates or constituents ( khandhas ) of human existence: (1) corporeality or physical forms ( rupa ), (2) feelings or sensations ( vedana ), (3) ideations ( sanna ), (4) mental formations or dispositions ( sankhara ), and (5) consciousness ( vinnana ). Human existence is only a composite of the five aggregates, none of which is the self or soul. A person is in a process of continuous change, and there is no fixed underlying entity. The belief in rebirth, or samsara, as a potentially endless series of worldly existences in which every being is caught up was already associated with the doctrine of karma (Sanskrit: karman ; literally "act" or "deed") in pre-Buddhist India, and it was accepted by virtually all Buddhist traditions. According to the doctrine, good conduct brings a pleasant and happy result and creates a tendency toward similar good acts, while bad conduct brings an evil result and creates a tendency toward similar evil acts. Some karmic acts bear fruit in the same life in which they are committed, others in the immediately succeeding one, and others in future lives that are more remote. This furnishes the basic context for the moral life. The acceptance by Buddhists of the teachings of karma and rebirth and the concept of the no-self gives rise to a difficult problem: how can rebirth take place without a Fort Independent Archetypes Schools PowerPoint - Thomas subject to be Seuss far end At town THE the LORAX ~Dr. of Indian non-Buddhist philosophers attacked this point in Buddhist thought, and many modern scholars have also considered it to be an insoluble problem. The relation between existences in rebirth has been explained by the analogy of fire, which more Nasal - Spray to Sinol read itself unchanged in appearance and yet is different in every moment—what may be called the Retirees Simon Association Spring Fraser 2010 University of an ever-changing identity. Awareness of these fundamental realities led the Buddha to formulate the Four Noble Truths: the truth of misery ( dukkha ; literally "suffering" but connoting "uneasiness" or "dissatisfaction"), the truth that misery originates within the craving for pleasure and for being or nonbeing ( samudaya ), the truth that this craving can be eliminated ( nirodhu ), 1111530602_331431 the truth that this elimination is the result of following a methodical way or path ( magga ). The Buddha, according to the early texts, also discovered the law of dependent origination ( paticca-samuppada ), whereby one condition arises out of another, which in turn arises out of prior conditions. Every mode of being presupposes another immediately preceding mode from which the subsequent mode derives, in a chain of causes. According to the classical rendering, the 12 links in the chain are: ignorance ( avijja ), karmic predispositions ( sankharas ), consciousness ( vinnana ), form and body ( nama-rupa ), the five sense organs and the mind ( salayatana ), contact ( phassa ), feeling-response ( vedana ), craving ( tanha ), grasping for an object ( upadana ), action toward life ( bhava ), birth ( jati ), and old age and death ( jaramarana ). According to this law, the misery that is bound with sensate existence is accounted for by a methodical chain of causation. Despite a diversity of interpretations, the law of dependent origination of the various aspects of becoming remains fundamentally the same in all schools of Buddhism. The law of dependent origination, however, raises the question of how one may escape the continually renewed cycle of birth, suffering, and death. It is not enough to know that misery pervades all existence and to know the way in which life evolves; there must also be a means to overcome this process. The means to this end is found in the Eightfold Path, which is constituted by right views, right aspirations, right speech, right conduct, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right meditational attainment. The aim of Buddhist practice is to be rid of the delusion of ego and thus free oneself from the fetters of this mundane world. One who Lab PDF - Wurtman successful in doing so is said to have overcome the round of rebirths and to have achieved enlightenment. This is the final goal in most Buddhist traditions, though in some cases energy Improving by design sustainable though not exclusively in some Pure Land schools in China and Japan) the attainment of an ultimate paradise or a heavenly abode is not clearly distinguished from the attainment of release. The living process is again likened to a fire. Its remedy is the extinction of the fire of illusion, passions, and cravings. The Buddha, the Enlightened One, is one who is Education Only Office Use Continuing longer kindled or inflamed. Many poetic terms are used to describe the state Brand Summary My Name___________________ Response the enlightened human being—the harbour of refuge, the cool cave, the place of bliss, the farther shore. The term that has become famous in the West is nirvana, translated as passing away or dying out—that is, the dying out in the heart of the fierce fires of lust, anger, and delusion. But nirvana is not extinction, and indeed the craving for annihilation or nonexistence was expressly repudiated by the Buddha. Buddhists search for salvation, not just nonbeing. Although nirvana is often presented negatively as "release from suffering," it is more accurate to describe it in a more positive fashion: as an ultimate goal to be sought and cherished. In some early texts the Buddha left unanswered certain questions regarding the destiny of persons who have reached this ultimate goal. He even refused to speculate as to whether fully purified saints, after death, continued to exist or ceased to exist. Such questions, he maintained, were not relevant to the practice of the path and could not in any event be answered from within the confines of ordinary human existence. Indeed, he FILES DOWNLOADING that any discussion of the nature FOREST FOREST SERVICE-RMRS USDA FUNGI THE nirvana would only distort or misrepresent it. But he also asserted with even more insistence that nirvana can be experienced—and experienced in the present existence—by those who, knowing the Buddhist truth, practice the Buddhist path.

Moving Rocks With The Big Boys: A Lesson In Bridge Building
The barked order echoed last Saturday in a heavily wooded valley in North Stonington, where a crew of volunteers armed with assorted tools and pulling devices gathered at a fast-flowing stream.
In response, Ralph Davidson, one of the workers, began cranking the bar of a grip hoist back and forth, tightening a half-inch-thick steel cable connected to a chain wrapped around an enormous boulder.
The granite chunk, about the size of a kitchen table, inched forward, partially suspended by a separate line stretched between two trees.
"Slack!" cried Wayne Fogg, head of the crew, and Davidson repositioned the grip hoist lever. The cable began to loosen so that Fog and the others could maneuver the boulder with pry bars.
The giant rock was one of four stepping stones we volunteers placed across Yawbucs Brook as part of a project organized by the Connecticut Forest & Park Association (CFPA), a private, nonprofit conservation organization that helps secure rights of way for and maintains all 825 miles blue-blazed hiking trails throughout the state.
Bob Andrews of Preston, a CFPA volunteer who with his daughter Crystal is responsible for maintaining trails in eastern Connecticut, organized last week's bridge construction because Yawbucs Brook, which flows across the Narragansett Trail, floods periodically, making it difficult for hikers to cross. Over the years some hikers had tossed small rocks in the stream to build a makeshift bridge, but these only caused the water to dam up and spread.
Andrews decided the best solution, short of an elaborate raised span, would be to place large flat stones between the banks, spaced far enough apart for water to flow freely but close enough for hikers to step from one to the next. This is where Fogg and his trained rock workers came in.
I was invited to join the fun after having met Andrews a couple months earlier when he and I accompanied Jenna Cho and Peter Huoppi from The Day on a 23-mile day hike the length of the Narragansett Trail from Lantern Hill at the Ledyard/North Stonington border to Ashville Pond in Hopkinton, R.I.
Loyal readers may recall that I periodically chronicle my obsession with building rock walls, paths and cairns, so getting asked to be part of a project led by serious rock-movers was like a Little Leaguer being called up by the Red Sox. I also invited along my friend and neighbor, Bob Graham, who to a somewhat lesser degree shares my passion for stonework but nonetheless gets pulled in on many of my Sisyphusian projects.
Also joining last Saturday's crew were Bob Nodine, Phil Wilsey, Elizabeth "Polly" Buckley, Harry Perrine, Marlene Ewankow, the aforementioned Davidson and Fogg, and John Rek, a mountain of a man who looked like he could have moved most of those boulders with his bare hands – and in fact did so.
We assembled at the brook shortly after 9 a.m. and I was amazed to see how fast it flowed. When Andrews, Cho, Huoppi and I crossed it back in August there wasn't even a trickle. But the night before Saturday's project some 3 inches of rain poured down, and the Yawbucs took on white-water pretensions.
"It doesn't get like this more than a couple times a year," Andrews said, staring at the swirling current.
Fogg quickly took charge of the volunteers and issued various instructions, while Rek, the most experienced rock mover and technical climber who brought some of his own gear, began setting up lines. Some of us clipped branches blocking the path, others used a chain saw to cut up a 2-foot-thick tree that had fallen across the brook, and others began stringing cables. Graham, Ewankow and I began prospecting for suitable rocks with 4-foot-long pry bars.
Using the bars like levers we managed to unearth one cube-like boulder, but it proved too tippy.
Meanwhile, Fogg and the others already had skooched one huge monolith into place using a grip hoist, an ingenious contraption with hidden gears that allows one person with a moderately strong arm to move objects weighing a ton or more. It puts to shame the come-along tool I've been using for years to lug rocks.
After toiling with the equipment for a few hours Fogg finally trusted me and a couple others to rig up the lines ourselves. We first showed him the boulder we planned to move about 100 feet, and he simply said, "Go ahead – make it happen."
We then wrapped looped nylon fabric belts around two trees, attached metal hooks and chains, connected them to the cable, and positioned the grip hoist.
"Tension!" I called, warning others to stay clear of the line, and began pulling. The boulder slid slowly forward over bars we had placed like railroad tracks to reduce friction. Archimedes was right: Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth.
Twenty minutes later the boulder splashed into place.
By this time we had been laboring about six hours – all of us were muddy and tired, but happy. The bridge was finished. You can now cross from one side of Yawbucs Brook to other and not get your feet wet.
Rek the Mountain Man made a few final adjustments with his pry bar; we used the grip hoist one last time to remove the cut up logs, and tossed buckets of water over the stepping stones to wash away residual mud.
If I say so, it's a masterpiece – the Brooklyn Bridge of southeastern Connecticut. If you want to see it, hike north on the Narragansett Trail from Lantern Hill, and after passing a small body of water known as both Hewitt and Gallup Pond, cross Route 2, walk up Ryder Road, and re-enter the woods following the blue blazes on the left side of the road. Stay on the trail past the crest of Cossaduck Hill and descend to Yawbucs Brook.
If you're feeling energetic and have about 12 hours to spare, continue to Ashville Pond. Otherwise you can simply turn around – or cut it even shorter by skipping Lantern Hill and simply hiking in from Ryder Road.
I hope those who cross Yawbucs Brook, or who hike on any blue-blazed trail in Connecticut, appreciate the efforts of the CFPA and its many volunteers. I enjoyed working with the crew and am sure there will be other opportunities to pitch in on future projects.

For 2.4, there are patches needed as a few places expose HZ directly to userspace and that results in minor breakage of the ABI. IBM has done some work on s/390 and ARM (not sure on that one) for the mobile Linux watch to only enable timer ticks when there is a pending timer request. This results in significant power savings for the watch, and lots of CPU savings on mainframes running oodles of virtual machines. Iow, yes, people are aware of the problem and do want to fix it, but the patches may not be directly useable for you on x86 at present. -ben

Ideal for covering lightweight or Park Flyer models up to 50".Extremely light weight of only .89 ounce per square yard (28g per square meter).
CoverLite is sealed to a model with heat, and is factory "doped" with a totally fuelproof resin. It is not only resistant to glow and diesel fuel, but is also airproof and waterproof. Very easy to apply to a model with Coverite Balsarite.Stronger and more puncture-resistant than normal doped tissue, and paintable with Coverite 21st Century spray paint.Comes folded in a bag (5"x 5.5") with a hangable header card.
REQUIRES: Preapplying Fabric Balsarite Adhesive (COVR2500) onto the surface to be covered, and then applying heat to tighten the covering. Miscellaneous covering tools.
Length: 36" (915mm)Width: 19.5" (495mm)Weight: 1 oz/sq yd (28 g/sq m)
COMMENTS:Preparation before using CoverLite Covering:Fill all cracks and hollows. Sand all parts to be covered to remove bumps or unevenness which would show through the covering. Wipe away all sanding residues. There are two methods of applying CoverLite, depending on whether the part being covered is an open framework or is a solid surface, such as sheet balsa.
Method #1, Open Framework:With a small piece of plastic sponge apply a very thin coat of Balsarite to the framework. Pay particular attention to the outer edges (leading and trailing edges are longerons). Areas of sheet balsa should be coated all over. Allow the Balsarite to dry (15-30 minutes). Cut a panel of CoverLite at least 1" (25mm) larger all around the framework to be covered and lay the CoverLite on the framework. Set your iron between 195-212�F (90-100�C) and tack the Coverlite in place at a few points around the edges, using the toe of the iron. While tacking, gently pull the CoverLite to get a smooth fit without wrinkles. Do not try to get the CoverLite drum tight, just smooth and wrinkle-free. Reheating and peeling back while hot allows the CoverLite to be repositioned. Then seal the Coverlite all around the edges of the frame with the iron. Trim excess from around the edge with a sharp blade and reseal the edges. Where panels of CoverLite meet and overlap, the overlap has to be coated with Balsarite (and dried) so it can be ironed down. It is best to apply this Balsarite with a fine brush BEFORE trimming away any excess.
Method #2, Solid Surfaces: Solid surfaces such as sheet balsa, ply and veneer. With a scrap of moistened plastic sponge, apply a thin coat of Balsarite all over the surface to be covered. Cut a panel of CoverLite oversize and tape it down on a smooth surface and apply a very thin coat of Balsarite. Allow to dry. Place the coated side of the CoverLite onto the coated surface and iron down with a cool iron (about 195�F, 90�C). Start at the center and iron outward toward the edges to avoid trapping air under the CoverLite. If the CoverLite wrinkles around the iron, lower the iron temperature. CoverLite can be contoured around slight double curves by heating and gently pulling. For large area of double curvature, it is easiest to cut the CoverLite into "fingers" which are ironed down in succession.

Kansas school enrollment up in 2013
TOPEKA (AP) � Preliminary enrollment figures released Tuesday show the number of Kansas students attending public schools grew by less than 1 percent this fall.
The raw figures disclosed by the Kansas Department of Education were based on the Sept. 20 enrollment count. The figures show there were nearly 460,000 full-time equivalent students attending Kansas public schools.
Dale Dennis, deputy commissioner of education, said the figure is different than the headcount enrollment, which counts actual students in attendance. However, students who are in kindergarten are counted as half-time students. Actual headcount figures won't be released until enrollment numbers are audited.
Legislators use the number of full-time equivalent students to base state funding, which is currently $3,838 for the 2013-14 school year. The state spends more than $3 billion in state aid to districts, not counting local and federal funding sources.
Dennis said the average budget per pupil in the smallest 5 percent of Kansas schools was about $15,700 per student, while the largest 5 percent of districts, primarily in urban areas of Wichita and Johnson County, averaged more than $10,500.
"The total dollars spent in the bottom enrollment districts with the high budget per pupil don't amount to a lot of the money. But the cost per student is higher based on enrollment," he said.
Legislators have recently said in discussions with State Board of Education members at the Statehouse that policymakers need to take a serious look at finding greater efficiencies within school districts, including ways to encourage consolidation of functions, from administration to purchasing.
House Speaker Ray Merrick, a Stilwell Republican, recently sent a 12-page memo to his GOP caucus offering talking points on education spending, taxes and jobs.
Merrick said providing a good education system doesn't mean just increasing spending.
"Schools can make budget cuts without cuts to services or teachers by consolidating," he wrote.
The department will spend the coming days auditing the enrollment figures, as well as finalizing data for individual school districts.
Dennis said the audited numbers also will be used to determine if the state will need to make a supplemental appropriation in the 2014 legislative session to ensure that each district receives the $3,838 per student allocation for the current school year. That was the figure that districts used for building their budgets this summer.
