Brandeis scores big with athletic homecoming
Soccer coaches honored, bust dedicated to Bill McKenna '55
Hundreds of former Brandeis athletes — from "Benny's Boys," who represented the school on the football field in the 1950s, to young alumni whose onetime teammates still compete for the Judges — gathered on campus last weekend to celebrate a sports program that has always prized excellence on both sides of the student-athlete equation.
The inaugural Athletics Homecoming, held Oct. 12-13, featured a pair of varsity soccer matches against the University of Rochester (the men lost, 3-2; the women played to a 0-0 draw); a Brandeis community barbecue; and alumni basketball, swimming and softball events. Additionally, the university feted soccer coaches Mike Coven and Denise Dallamora for their combined 75 years of service; dedicated a bust to memorialize football star Bill McKenna '55, the school's first All-American in any sport; and honored past stars at the 15th Joseph Linsey Athletic Hall of Fame induction.
"Whether it's in the library, lab, studio, playing field or pool, we always try to do our best," said Brandeis President Frederick Lawrence, who spent the day shuttling between ceremonies and watching the soccer matches at Gordon Field.
The Athletics Homecoming was the brainchild of Jessica Bergman '91, a former member of the Brandeis basketball, softball, and track and field teams, who joined the Alumni Association board of directors last year at the urging of president Adam Rifkin '97.
"We wanted to find a way to connect former athletes with Brandeis and welcome them back," Bergman said.
The Department of Athletics helped organize the weekend along with the Alumni Association, the Alumni Club of Greater Boston and the Friends of Brandeis Athletics.
"It's wonderful to come together and celebrate Brandeis athletics in this way," said director of athletics Sheryl Sousa '90, a former volleyball and softball player at Brandeis. In his role as president of the Alumni Club of Greater Boston, former Brandeis swimmer Doug Rosner '88 helped organize alumni events around men's and women's soccer doubleheaders the past two years. The Athletics Homecoming represented a natural progression.
"We always try to plan events to get alumni back on campus," Rosner said. "The Athletics Homecoming brings together athletes from different generations and different sports."
Rifkin expects the event to grow in coming years. "Athletics has been a core part of Brandeis since the university's inception, but we haven't always done such a good job of reaching out to our alumni athletes," Rifkin said. "Under President Lawrence, we are re-engaging with former athletes to make them feel more a part of the alumni community."
Soccer coaches honored
Between the women's and men's soccer matches, longtime coaches Coven (41 years) and Dallamora (34 years) were recognized for the outsized influence they have had on generations of Brandeis athletes.
"When I talk about Denise and Mike, I'm not just talking about coaches," Lawrence said. "They are teachers, educators and my colleagues."
During the program, Murray Greenberg '77, a member of Coven's first team at Brandeis, and Jim Belanger '81 spoke about their coach. Sisters Mimi '12 and Ali Theodore '12 shared their memories of Dallamora, the only coach in the history of the women's program.
McKenna bust dedication
About 125 of McKenna's former teammates, friends and family jammed into the Napoli Room in the Gosman Sports and Convocation Center to honor the standout end, an Associated Press All-American in 1954 who later played in the Canadian Football League. Fellow football players Myron "Mike" Uhlberg '55 and Dick Bergel '57 and team manager Bob Weintraub '55 organized the event and raised more than $30,000 to pay for the bust. Other speakers on the program included former teammates Jimmy Stehlin '57 and Ed Manganiello '54, McKenna's three daughters and two brothers, and Lawrence.
McKenna, who died in 2012 at age 79, was generally considered the star of "Benny's Boys," the team led by legendary coach Benny Friedman before Brandeis gave up football in 1959. McKenna was remembered by his teammates as an outstanding athlete, leader and student.
His widow, Myken, kissed the bust after it was revealed to the crowd by sculptor Dick Baldacci '56, a former teammate and accomplished artist.
Hall of Fame inductions
Six individuals and two teams were enshrined in the Hall of Fame during a dinner and ceremony attended by more than 200 people at Levin Ballroom in Usdan Student Center. In a twist, current athletes presented the new Hall of Fame members. Inductees included:
— Jules Love '55, who scored the first basket in Brandeis men's basketball history in 1951 and has been involved with Brandeis and the sport ever since.
— The 1957 football team, which finished with a 6-1 record, including wins over Northeastern, the University of Massachusetts and the University of New Hampshire.
— Mark Bonaiuto '77, a shortstop and two-time captain who earned All-Greater Boston League honors and helped the 1977 Judges reach the championship game of the NCAA Division III tournament.
— The 1984 men's soccer team, which posted a record of 19-5 and earned a second-place finish at the NCAA Division III tournament, losing in the championship game in triple overtime.
— Michael Goldfarb '99, a three-time All-American and the first male member of the swimming and diving program to be inducted.
— Victoria Petrillo '99, a four-time national champion in the 800-meter run and eight-time All-American.
— Rashad Williams '02, Brandeis' all-time leading scorer in men's basketball with 1,928 points and a four-time All-University Athletic Association selection.
— Danielle Fitzpatrick '04, the first All-American in Brandeis women's basketball history, who finished among the school's top 10 in career points and rebounds.

This kind of amplifiers has the capability of boosting the low power optical signal at kHz magnitude up to 47dBm output power and preserves the spectral property of the input signal. Techwin amplifiers use high power high performance multi-mode pump internally, employ the technology of double cladding fiber amplification, and have the integrated design of all polarization-maintaining structure. The output power can be continuously tuning. Techwin fiber amplifiers are integral Turn-Key system with the microprocessor inside for controlling. The front panel is equipped with the switch to start the laser, the LCD to display the state of the power and the knob to adjust the output power.
Thanks to the extensive experience of handling the double cladding fiber, Techwin conducts proper optimal design to the high power polarization maintaining fiber amplifiers, thus achieving high efficiency output while suppressing the nonlinear effects of the fiber. The unique thermal treatment technology guarantees that the desktop fiber amplifier can operate stably for a long time. The high-speed response protection circuit monitor the power of input and output signal automatically so that it can cut down the operation of the high power pump in case of the falling off of the input signal, thus ensures the safety of the whole system.
Techwin high power desktop polarization-maintaining fiber amplifiers can be widely used in scientific research, coherent beam combining, coherent detection sensing system, etc.

General Human Development Report 2002 Contributions to Human Development in Argentina
Argentina has the human and economic resources to overcome its current crisis, but needs significant reforms to remedy growing poverty and glaring inequality, according to this most recent NHDR, prepared by an independent group of experts. The report's Enhanced Human Development Index, introducing infant mortality, unemployment and the quality of education, shows huge social and regional disparities. Since 1995, the number of poor people has nearly doubled, with about half the population now below the poverty line. The future of the next generation is at stake, the report warns: in some provinces children under five account for three out of five people in poverty. Nonetheless, the report argues that the Argentina has the capacity to overcome these problems and offers 18 recommendations for reform. These include support for cooperative federalism to surmount the disparities among provinces, promoting human development as a key to improving economic competitiveness and revitalizing democratic politics, already supported by the people, as a foundation for the reforms. The report itself is a perfect tool to help make this a reality.


text: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/21/drc_fpga_module/print.html Start-up could kick Opteron into overdrive By Ashlee Vance in Mountain View Published Friday 21st April 2006 19:44 GMT Exclusive The 2002 film Death to Smoochy reminds us that "friends come in all sizes." AMD executives must embrace this observation on a daily basis, especially when a company such as DRC Computer appears. The tiny DRC works out of a no frills Santa Clara office, producing technology that has the potential to give servers based on AMD's Opteron chip a real edge over competing Xeon-based boxes. DRC has developed a type of reprogrammable co-processor that can slot straight into Opteron sockets. Customers can then offload a wide variety of software jobs to the co-processor running in a standard server, instead of buying unique, more expensive types of accelerators from third parties as they have in the past. "Current accelerators costs about $15,000 each and deliver little performance improvements beyond what you could achieve by buying more blade servers for that same price," Larry Laurich, the CEO of DRC, told us in an interview. "We have taken the approach that we must deliver three times the price-performance of a standard blade." Neither standalone server accelerators nor FPGAs (field-programmable gate arrays), which is what the DRC modules are, stand as novel concepts in the hardware industry. Server customers, however, have largely shied from buying pricey, specialized co-processors even when such devices demonstrated dramatic performance improvements on certain workloads. The high costs of accelerators, a lack of supporting software and a large amount of custom design work needed to make the devices work well have made them not worth the trouble to most customers. It's this tradition of disdain for accelerators that DRC will have to fight. "People have tried a lot of special purpose processing devices over the years and, with the exceptions of graphics units and arguably floating point units, general purpose processors have always won out in the end," said Gordon Haff, an analyst at Illuminata. DRC thinks it has solved the price and performance problems by playing off AMD's open Hypertransport specification. "DRC's flagship product is the DRC Coprocessor Module that plugs directly into an open processor socket in a multi-way Opteron system," the company notes on its web site. "This provides direct access to DDR memory and any adjacent Opteron processor at full Hypertransport bandwidth [12.8 GBps] and ±75 nanosecond latency." AMD's decision to open Hypertransport could end up being a key factor in Opteron's future success. Intel looks set to compete better with AMD later this year when it releases a revamped line of Xeon processors. AMD, however, can now turn to third parties such as DRC for performance boosts unavailable with Intel's chip line. A DRC module in a person's handDRC appears to be making the most of its AMD ties by sliding right into Opteron sockets. That means that customers can outfit an Opteron motherboard with any combination of Opteron chips and DRC modules. Illuminata's Haff sees the DRC implementation as one way of overcoming past aversions to accelerators. "It is true that one of the issues around PCI-based FPGA products and really anything specialized is that by the time you transfer the calculation over the special purpose board, you have often lost much of the benefit you had," Haff said. "So, putting the product within the CPU fabric certainly does help address this particular problem." The notion of offloading certain routines to an FPGA should prove attractive to a wide variety of industries, stretching from the oil and gas sector to high performance computing buffs and possibly even mainstream server customers. Today, for example, companies like Boeing that need specialized, embedded devices will buy a PCI board with an FPGA and do custom work designing software and a hardware unit for their system. "Those products could end up in something the size of a telephone or a bread box," said Laurich. "It may take them about six months to lay out that type of custom design." With the DRC module, customers can pick from standard hardware ranging from blade servers on up to Opteron-based SMPs instead of building their own breadboxes. Each DRC module will cost around $4,500 this year and likely drop to around $3,000 next year, Laurich said. That compares to products from companies such as SGI that cost well over $10,000. So far, DRC has seen the most interest from oil and gas companies looking to put specific algorithms on the FPGAs. Manufacturing firms and financial services companies have also looked at the DRC products for help with their own routines. It's not hard to imagine companies such as Linux Networx, Cray or SGI (when it does the inevitable and backs Opteron) wanting to move away from more expensive FPGA products as well in order to service the high-performance computing market. Eventually, standard server makers could turn to the FPGAs to help with security or networking workloads. "There does seem to be this kind of general feeling in places like IBM and Sun that the time may be here to use some special purpose processors or parts of processors for various things," Haff said. "The FPGA approach is certainly one way of doing that. It does have the advantage that you're not locked into a particular function at any time because you can dynamically reprogram it." The DRC products also come with potential energy cost savings that could be a plus for end users and server vendors that have started hawking "green computing." Power has become the most expensive item for many large data centers. The first set of DRC modules will consume about 10 - 20 watts versus close to 80 watts for an Opteron chip. An upcoming larger DRC module will consume twice the power and be able to handle larger algorithms. "We believe we will get 10 to 20x application acceleration at 40 per cent of the power," Laurich said. "At the same time, we're looking at a 2 to 3x price performance advantage." A motherboard with DRC and Opteron chip It will, of course, take some time to build out the software for the DRC modules. The company has started shipping its first machines to channel partners that specialize in developing applications for FPGAs. An oil and gas company wanting to move its code to the product could expect the process to take about 6 months. If DRC takes off, the company plans to bulk up from its current 13-person operation and to tap partners in different verticals to help out with the software work. DRC also thinks it can maintain a competitive advantage over potential rivals via its patent portfolio. The modules result from work done by FPGA pioneer Steve Casselman, who is a co-founder and CTO of the company. Casselman told us that he had been waiting for something like Hypertransport to come along for years and that AMD's opening up of the specification almost brought tears to his eyes. It's always difficult to judge how well a start-up will pan out, especially one that needs to build out systems and software to make it a success. DRC, however, does have - at the moment - that rare feeling of something special. It's playing off standard server components and riding the Opteron wave. In addition, it is reducing the cost of acceleration modules in a dramatic fashion. That combination of serious horsepower with much lower costs is typically the right recipe for a decent start-up, and we'll be curious to see how things progress in the coming months.

Casa Linda is a beautiful private home nestled in the hills, five miles northeast of the old colonial city of Oaxaca, Mexico (map). The house, full of Mexican folk art, is a testament to the creative spirit and skill present in the artisans and craftsmen in the Oaxaca valleys. .
For over a decade Linda has been cultivating and nurturing the connections to this artistic world. Sharing her knowledge with people interested in learning about folk art was one of her fundamental reasons for moving to Oaxaca years ago.
Casa Linda is a sanctuary. A welcoming, comforting and exclusive private home in the privacy of the Oaxaca countryside. Nestled in a fertile valley in Southern Mexico, with surrounding villages famous for their crafts and arts, your stay here will bring you lifelong memories and an unparalleled insider's peek into the traditions and art steeped in these ancient hills.
The city of Oaxaca is surrounded by villages specializing in a particular craft. Ceramic work that is both utilitarian and decorative is done in at least three different pueblos; Atzompa, San Bartolo Coyotepec and Ocotlan de Morelos.
Some of the more well known artists that I visit are the Aguilar sisters of Ocotlán and I usually spend the most time with Josefina (pictured) and her eldest son, Demetrio. He is also well known for his painting and paper maché work. In the nearby village of San Antonino I enjoy visiting Luis Valencia and his family as well as José Luis Garcia. José became blind about 5 years ago but still continues to create magnificent sculptures.
In San Bartolo Coyotepec I'm a frequent visitor to the Abraham Reyes family, Floriberta Reyes Gómez (miniatures), Carlomagno Pedro Martínez, Magdalena Pedro Martínez and Adelina Pedro Martínez.
In Atzompa my favorite artists include Irma Blanco, Enedina Vasquez Cruz and Angélica Vasquez.
In Teotitlan del Valle, known for the beautiful rugs, I feel fortunate to be a friend of Elena Hernandez López and her family, Rosario Martínez Vasquez and Ernesto Maldonado Gonzalez, Mariano Sosa Martínez. Mariano's home is the display center for a co-op of 18 families and is frequently the highlight for guests who appreciate fine and original weaving.
In San Martín Tilcajete, one of the many pueblos devoted to woodcarving, I have a number of families I regularly visit. These include the homes of Jacobo and Maria Angeles Ojeda, Epifanio Fuentes Vasquez, Margaito Melchor, Martin Melchor Angeles, Jesus Sosa Calvo, Justo Xuana Luis.
In Arrazola, another woodcarving village, I enjoy visitng Angélico and Isaías Jiménez, Francisco Morales Ojeda, Narciso and Rubi Gonzalez Hernandez, Damien and Beatrice Morales.
In La Unión, also known for woodcarving, visits with Gabino Reyes, Sergio Santos (pictured), Jaime Santiago Morales, Francisco Santiago Cruz and his brothers Martín and Quirino are always wonderful experiences.
Tinsmiths that I especially enjoy visiting with include Angel Valdez Sandoval and Alfonso Santiago Leyva.
In the years I have lived in Oaxaca I have been working diligently at developing strong connections with these artists. However, these are by no means all the aritsts that I visit.
On the LINKS page, you will find a short list of our friends and other recommended websites about Folk Art and Oaxaca.

The following letters and the piece by Bowman Properties architect Richard K. Gelber on page 5 refer to a front-page opinion piece by Weavers Way Co-op General Manager Glenn Bergman that appeared in the November issue of the Weavers Way Shuttle. We had plans to run a slightly edited version of the piece but it did not arrive until after the paper was already laid out on Monday afternoon.
Sour Grapes
What a shame Glenn Bergman's commentary in the Weavers Way shuttle has to spout further biased venom around the exceptional community of Chestnut Hill!
It is worth remembering the real facts. Weavers Way attempted to purchase the Magarity property with plans to create a food market, other retail and housing. Bowman Properties were successful in buying the site, and will now develop a food market, other retail and housing.
If Mr. Bergman thought he had a good plan why is he determined to block anyone else from the same development? One can only reason that Mr Bergman is a bad loser. Very sad!

New market, same story
I can't believe it's happening again. First the Good Food Market was chased out of town by political maneuvers and now Glenn Bergman wants to fight Fresh Market? Is our neighborhood going to be limited to one small market? Is it just coincidence that the near neighbors opposing Fresh Market have the same attorney as the near neighbors who opposed the Good Food Market? I wonder who is paying the bills.
Please stop in to Weavers Way and tell them that their behavior is not what we expect from a "community organization."

Chestnut Hill
Development Welcome at Magarity site
According to the Weavers Way Shuttle, its board of directors is mounting a campaign to stop Fresh Market from coming to Chestnut Hill. Weavers Way took over a million of our tax dollars to open its store. Now they want to stop a development by a private developer.
Instead of calling your Council members to oppose Fresh Market, call them to tell them to ask for our money back from Weavers Way.
We have operated a retail store in this community since the 1960s and have never seen overall traffic this light. It seems most days of the week you could drive three tractor trailers beside one another down that area of Germantown Avenue.
I hardly think that the traffic at the new daycare center at the former Borders' site with 4-year-olds will do much for the retail environment on the Avenue. Yet it will occupy a large retail space and most likely create a traffic snarl at rush hour.
We are in need of a development such as Bowman has proposed, and we should be thankful a developer is willing to use his own money in these times and invest it in Chestnut Hill.

No need for Fresh Market in Chestnut Hill
I find everything I want and more in the great variety of local food markets that already exist and that we are so lucky to have in our Chestnut Hill community – from the Top of The Hill down to the Night Kitchen.
The vendors at the Farmers Market offer every kind of fresh chicken, eggs, meats, prepared foods and fresh veggies and more. Top of the Hill Market and Weavers Way both have excellent fresh fish. They also have-top notch meat, yummy sandwiches of any kind, delicious tasting and healthy soups and wonderfully prepared hot and cold dishes for a non-homecooked meal.
All carry tantalizing, fresh-baked goodies as do our four wonderful bakeries along the Avenue. And, a cheese shop that offers every known and unfamiliar variety of cheese.
Most of the above mentioned markets are locally owned and community-minded. Weavers-Way is a great example; the management and staff go out of their way for every customer. They give back a portion of their profits to the communities of Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill.

It could have been built by now
Near neighbors support the development of 8200 Germantown Avenue. In fact, the neighbors chose a few of us to join the Chestnut Hill Civic Association's negotiating committee. They volunteer their time (and lots of it!) to work with the developer so that the property can be improved and revitalized. Nearly every single person wants this. And almost nobody is against this. So why isn't it done by now?!
The sticking point between the neighbors and the developer is not whether a grocery store should be built there. The current zoning in fact allows for a food market to operate there. And there is also absolutely no problem with varying the zoning to allow for "mixed-use" development of the property on Germantown Avenue allowing for residential development together with the food market use. That is in fact the way most of Germantown Avenue has been for years and years and years.
So it appears that 8200 Germantown Avenue could have been developed by now as a mixed use property – with the high quality food market the developer has been talking about and new residential units in place _and with neighbors near and far in support. Instead, we are faced with yet another divisive neighborhood argument about development.
Instead of taking advantage, and bringing life to this centerpiece property, the developer has chosen to fight for a zoning change that would reduce the residential area and make 80 percent of this entire tract commercial. I say move the market from the middle of the tract as the current plan calls for, to front on Germantown Avenue. And build residences on top, in step with the historical character of the Avenue.
Keep the residential zoning at the back of the parcel on Shawnee as it is. This can be done without changing the zoning to 80 percent commercial, would enjoy the support of the entire community, and would save us all from yet another divisive season of development controversy.

Shocked over parking kiosk plan
I am shocked that the Chestnut Hill Parking Foundation (CHPF) is going to allow the PPA to patrol its lots. I am willing to pay a fee to park. Free was nice, but if the lots can't be maintained, I will pay. Why doesn't the CHPF use some of the revenues from the lot to patrol it? Isn't that part of maintaining a lot?
Of course the PPA is as popular as having to pay taxes, but consider the misguided incentive system. The PPA has an incentive to come in and generate revenue for themselves by writing tickets, and there is the potential for conflict between what the CHPF wants and the PPA wants.
The CHPF wants clean, maintained lots that have legal parking and offer convenience. If you think that coincides with the PPA's goal of writing tickets and generating revenue, well, I hope you are right. I think it is a mistake.
Anytime you find a car parked illegally, you can call a towing company and have it removed.
I find it ironic that often times municipal government contracts services out to private entrepreneurs. In this case, a private company is contracting out city government? Giving someone a parking ticket doesn't address the illegal parking. It just makes you pay the city if you do it. I am not sure of the PPA's usefulness or role here.

Parking kiosks will be a disaster
In response to your article about bringing Parking kiosks to Chestnut Hill; I think in view of the current economy, Parking kiosks would be disastrous for the shops of Chestnut Hill. We must think about who our competitors are and, in the case of the shops of Chestnut Hill, one of our competitors is Suburban Square in Ardmore. Suburban Square attracts top flight shops because they offer multitudes of free parking. Also, the sales tax is only 6 percent outside of the city limits!
Merchants in Chestnut Hill are working hard to survive and paid parking will mean that much more hardship. Anyone who goes to Center City knows how difficult the Kiosks are. Pay your money and many times you get neither a ticket or your money returned!
Last week on Delancey Place I lost $6 to the machine. As a Bird-in-Hand volunteer, I notice that every week we have customers who are worried about putting money in the meters and leave, or who have received a parking ticket in the past and think twice about returning.
A return to the system of parking stickers or tokens would be far better for Chestnut Hill shops.

Corporate greed IS one of the real issues
It isn't clear whether George Parry, in his recent piece in the Local and the Philadelphia Inquirer, is trying to be funny or just living in a dream world. Is there unemployment among us approaching 10 percent and expected to stay that high for many years? Is there a vast and growing gulf between the very rich and the rest of us? Is the real income of the middle class dropping rapidly? Is the number of poverty stricken citizens rising steeply?
Apparently Mr Parry thinks not. But these are what the Occupy Philadelphia and related "jamborees" (to use Mr Parry's word) really are about.
As for Mr Parry's vicious attack on skulking "academic scamsters," we have all heard the repeated urging of young people to get college degrees to further their chances of employment. Virtually all college attendees are choosing courses of study with just that goal in mind, not the rediculous subjects that Mr. Parry has invented.

Time to compromise on college plan
I was glad to read Bob Shusterman and James Pope's letter outlining their objections to the negotiated CDA (Community Development Agreement). It had not been clear why they did not see that this compromised agreement was in the best interest of Chestnut Hill.
Many of their points were good and you would expect them to be on the table at the beginning. But this is 22 months later, after negotiations and trade-offs to reach a consensus.
Not one of the nine parties to the discussion got everything they wanted. The gain to the larger community has to be greater than the stake of any one position.
The two dissenters believe their points are too important to compromise. I understand they have not attended group negotiations since last spring. They also have not been interested in an open discussion with the larger community. Perhaps now only time will restore their faith in the process.

How to rescue Postal Service
It's not the Internet that's put the Postal Service on its back, but government's refusal to privatize the service. With ballooning deficits and pension obligations, observers foresee the possibility of a postal shutdown next summer, according to recent news reports.
The Postal Service might buy some time by setting up post offices in major retail outlets, such as Wal-mart or grocery stores. Early post offices were established in local stores, with proprietors serving as postmasters. The principle benefit was more business for the store due to increased customer traffic.
People coming for their mail were likely to buy merchandise, including things they could ship to others right away. With such benefits, merchants might provide postal space for free.
People could also get their mail at these local store-based postal offices while they shop. People who want regular home delivery can pay a fee for it. Fees could be assessed according to location.
Those who live in remote areas, necessitating air delivery or long drives for mailmen, would pay greater fees than those who live in easy-to-reach places. In short, people should pay for what they get.
Home delivery services should also be farmed out to private delivery services. Whistling in the wind? Maybe. But with its current obligations, the Postal Service can't afford to take on many more employees!
Since these ideas make too much sense for government, I predict that they will:
1. Maintain the service with general fund subsidies, and…
2. Pay for operations and obligations by taxing and regulating the Internet!
3. Congress will put the Postal Service in charge of the Web for that purpose!
Socialism never goes away on its own. You have to give it the bum's rush!

Thank you for Holocaust article
Thank you for the column about Judy Meisel ("Holocaust survivor," Nov. 3 issue). Unfortunately, I will not be able to see her.
My first experience with the concentration camps was Bergen-Belsen in the British sector of West Germany in 1956 in the army. When the camp was liberated, it was so full of disease and dead bodies. The British just bulldozed large pits and bulldozed the bodies in them with signs, "500 Bodies Buried Here."
There was a memorial naming the 14 countries the prisoners were from and with this inscription, "When they came for the Jews, I did not pay attention. When they came for the Catholics, I did not pay attention. When they came for me, there was no one left to pay attention."
I also saw Auschwitz on a trip to Europe with my wife in 1995. Walked under the large sign, "Arbeit Mach Frie" (work makes free).
Being in the remains of these camps has left a lifelong impression on me. It will not be long until all survivors are gone. It is up to us to teach the young ones about the camps. If we do not, who will?
Thanks again for the column.

I do apologize for not having kept this updated as I would have liked to. I felt like I was falling apart at the seams. Everything I thought about writing seemed like mindless drivel.
My fears were getting the best of me. Then my world fell apart in mid February. It was then I decided that I had to do something. And I did. I made the decision to follow my heart and do for me what I needed to do. So I decided to leave my marriage to a man I could no longer be with.
I was offered a place to stay with my Beloved's family. My one and only friend where I was living offered to help me leave by driving me to ship what I could afford to and take me to the airport. I was able to purchase my ticket for a really low price. I was lucky to buy it when I did, since few days later the prices went up and stayed high. Once the ticket was bought...it was just the matter of waiting until the day. AND finding the courage to tell him I was leaving.
I told him 2 days before that I was leaving to stay with friends to figure things out. I left nothing to chance having to deal with him that day. Finally departure day arrived and before I knew it, my belongs were left at the shipping office and I was on my way to the airport. My flights were on time, actually ahead of schedule even. They were smoother than I could have expected.
So it's been a month now that I left. That I moved 2200 miles to follow my heart. Slowly I am starting to relax and unwind, learning to be myself. No longer do I feel like I have to walk on eggshells. I feel like I can breathe again.
As to my path....well I am feeling somewhat lost. I don't know what to believe or follow. At some point I felt let down again by deities. Maybe I am trying or was trying too hard to define a path and label it. Maybe I'm just to go with the flow right now and just connect with nature.
I don't know. I mean here I am, a city girl who is now living smack dab in the middle of farm country. As far as I can see out both front and back are fields of various greens growing. I can see cows, and horses, and goats. (No we don't have any of those here but the surrounding neighbors do.) I wake up to the sunrising and to the sound of chickens. I can watch the sunset every day, sometimes with the most spectacular colors. I am finally able to be with my furbaby and My Beloved. I've been given permission to have a small herb garden (I do want more herbs but it's a bit late now to find what I want) and we have a vegetable garden, smaller than what we want but it will do for this year. And the garden area is SO HUGE! I would have a field day next season. Oddly I feel like I am in my element.
So this is where I'm supposed to be, in a place of reconnection. Where I can be with my Beloved. Where I can see the sunrise and sunset. Where I can see the stars and the moon clear than I have in years. All I can do is take it all one day, one step at a time.

The Challenge: America's schools are not producing the math excellence required for global economic leadership and homeland security in the 21st century.
The Solution: Ensure schools use scientifically based methods with long-term records of success to teach math and measure student progress. Establish partnerships with universities to ensure that knowledgeable teachers deliver the best instruction in their field.
Math is a critical skill in the information age. We must improve achievement to maintain our economic leadership. While technology advances with lightning speed, stagnant math performance in schools shortchanges our students' future and endangers our prosperity and our nation's security.
Math achievement is improving slightly, but much more work must be done to ensure that our children receive a sound background in mathematics.
- According to the 2000 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the average math scores of fourth- and eighth-graders, and twelfth-graders have improved only slightly.
- However, only a quarter of our fourth- and eighth-graders are performing at or above proficient levels in math. Twelfth-grade math scores have not improved since 1996, and a closer look at those scores reveals that the biggest drop occurred at the lowest levels of achievement. These are the students who most need our help and who can least afford to lose any more ground.
No Child Left Behind creates Math and Science Partnerships to rally every sector of society to work with schools to increase math and science excellence.
- The National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Education will provide an estimated $1 billion over five years for results-oriented partnerships between local districts and universities to bring urgency, tested methods, and high level expertise to rebuilding math excellence.
- Partnerships will invite businesses, science centers, museums and community organizations to unite with schools to improve achievement.
- The program rewards states for increasing participation of students in advanced courses in math and science and passing advanced placement exams.
- To ensure accountability, the Partnerships must report annually to the U.S. Secretary of Education on progress in meeting their set objectives, aligned to state standards.
The president has called for increasing the ranks and pay of teachers of math and science.
- No Child Left Behind requires states to fill the nation's classrooms with teachers who are knowledgeable and experienced in math and science by 2005. The president supports paying math and science teachers more to help attract experience and excellence.
Our nation must research the best way to teach math and science and measure students' progress in math.
- No Child Left Behind requires that federal funding go only to those programs that are backed by evidence.
- Over the last decade, researchers have scientifically proven the best ways to teach reading. We must do the same in math. That means using only research-based teaching methods and rejecting unproven fads.
- The new law also requires states to measure students' progress in math annually in grades 3-8 beginning in 2005.

The salesmen for three Far Eastern manufacturing companies must have been surprised when they got to the BAUMA international construction equipment show in Munich, Germany, April 19.
Instead of showing off their firms' new backhoes and loaders, they found their machines had either been removed from the show and impounded or concealed from view as a result of complaint filed by JCB, a company whose U.S. offices are in Savannah, Ga.
Officials with JCB, which builds construction, agricultural and industrial equipment, took the action because of product copying and patent infringements by the three exhibitors. (A spokesperson said JCB had been advised not to identify the country where the companies are based.)
JCB is fortunate it sells equipment with features that were easily identifiable when someone copies its patents. Imagine what U.S. textile firms could have done 10 years ago if they had been able to take similar action against Chinese manufacturers who ripped off their designs and turned out copies by the thousands.
They couldn't, and U.S. textile mill use of cotton has dropped to a fourth of what it was 10 years ago as Chinese yarn mills and apparel manufacturers ramped up production of garments formerly made in the USA.
If the U.S. mills simply couldn't compete, that would have been one thing. But they never were in a fair fight according to supporters of new legislation aimed at addressing China's prolonged devaluation of its currency.
The Fair Currency Coalition, whose executive director testified at a Senate hearing on the legislation on April 22, has worked for years to persuade the U.S. government to take action against the Chinese currency misalignment. After the Bush administration rejected its request, the group began seeking legislative remedies.
Fair Currency Coalition is now backing the Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act, introduced by Senators Debbie Stabenow and Jim Bunning in the Senate (S. 1027) and by Reps. Tim Ryan and Tim Murphy in the House (H.R. 2378).
"Many would prefer to find a solution in the multilateral rules that are supposed to provide a framework for settling monetary disputes among nations," says the Fair Currency Coalition's Charles Blum. "By now it should be clear existing multilateral rules and institutions are woefully inadequate to deal with the problem of currency misalignment."
The International Monetary Fund, for example, has tried to enforce its rules against members manipulating exchange rates to gain an unfair competitive advantage over other members, but to no avail. China simply ignored the IMF's "diplomatic" suggestions that it revalue the renminbi.
While this may be "old news" to some, it's a life-and-death issue for companies that still have some ability to compete against the Chinese. For more on this issue, go to www.faircurrency.org.

text: Abstract. New technologies give new ways of studying social and behavioral networks thanks to unprecedented access to different types of data sets. In this talk, I will first present recent work on a detailed empirical study of an online social network, showing the presence of strong heterogeneities between actors, and how the presence of homophily can be measured. I will also show how longitudinal studies allow us to detect the simultaneous presence of selection and influence effects. I will then briefly present how it is possible to measure behavioral networks of face-to-face proximity thanks to a newly developed infrastructure. Such networks can be measured in different contexts such as schools, hospitals, scientific conferences. Interestingly, it can then become possible to compare the behavior of conference attendees with their online social relations. We find that the existence of an on-line link between individuals is strongly correlated with the strength of their face-to-face presence, as well as with the similarity of their social contacts in physical space. Based on these findings, we characterize how accurately the existence of an on-line social link can be predicted by using the measured properties of face-to-face presence.

This is the Morning Shift, our one-stop daily roundup of all the auto news that's actually important — all in one place at 9:00 AM. Or, you could spend all day waiting for other sites to parcel it out to you one story at a time. Isn't your time more important?
1st Gear: Ain't That Confusing, Car Buyers Say To J.D. Power
Forbes reports that confused consumers are giving car companies lower marks on J.D. Power surveys because they don't understand vehicle technology. This year's Initial Quality Survey, which measures a vehicle in the first year of ownership, found that the overall quality of cars and trucks is going up. But there's also been a 45 percent increase in complaints about audio, entertainment and navigation systems.
In other words, it's like the opera glasses that Julia Roberts used in Pretty Woman. She thought they were broken, until Richard Gere showed her how to use them. One of the reasons the complaints are rising, according to Edmund, is that car owners are keeping their vehicles longer than ever. They're coming out of relatively low-tech vehicles into sophisticated new models and trying out some features for the first time, like those little TVs that our parents think we have on our dashboards.
2nd Gear: Now You'll Have The Human League In Your Ear All Day
The Wall Street Journal (sub. required) reports Akio Toyoda went way off script at the Toyota annual meeting last week to level some complaints about the press in an unusually blunt way for a car industry executive, let alone one at a Japanese company. Toyoda apparently was upset by a critical story in Bungei Shunju, a respected Japanese magazine that's something of a business bible there.
According to the Journal's Chester Dawson, Toyoda said, "I am a flesh-and-blood person. Some of the things written about the company and myself are without sufficient understanding and are speculative. Others are tantamount to character assassination, and these have been quite honestly heart-breaking," Toyoda said.
He went on, "But more than me, it's tough to see our employees and their families hurting from this. Those articles don't bring joy to anyone. So if there are any media people in attendance, that's what I want to convey to them." At that point, Dawson says, many in the 3,860-member audience burst into applause. It's not the first time that Toyoda has surprised people by going rogue. Back in 2009, Toyoda choked up in front of a group of dealers and journalists, talking about how he appreciated the support Toyota had gotten during its recall crisis.
3rd Gear: Nigh Time Tesla Model S Gets Its Ratings
GreenCarReports says the Tesla Model S has gotten its fuel efficiency ratings, mere hours before owners are set to begin picking up their cars. The EPA has judged the Model S to get the equivalent of 89 mpg in combined driving, 88 in the city, 90 on the highway. The agency measured the car's range is 265 miles, which puts it at the top of electric cars in distance. (Don't get Matt started on that.) Tesla will begin doling out Model S cars at its factory in Fremont, Calif., on Friday.
4th Gear: Fuel Cell Fanatics Hope To Sway Obama
Bloomberg says proponents of hydrogen fuel cell powered cars are hoping that President Obama is warming up to the technology. They're basing that hope on favorable comments about fuel cells from two administration staff members. Fresh federal support for fuel cells would be a reversal for Obama and company. Energy Secretary Stephen Chu has questioned the merits of fuel cell vehicles, and has put much of the administration's focus on electric vehicles. It would take a lot of effort to pump up fuel cells' feasibility. There are only 56 hydrogen refueling stations in the country, according to the Energy Department, with half in California.
5th Gear: PSA Board Backs CEO; Does Family Want to Bid Adieu?
Reuters reports the supervisory board of the PSA Group, which oversees Peugeot, expressed its "complete support" of CEO Philippe Varin and his management team. The move came just hours after La Tribune reported the Peugeot family, which is PSA's biggest stakeholder, was looking to oust Varin, because they're unhappy with a strategy that includes a recent tie-up with General Motors. Peugeot derided the report as "rumors." But, it's been our experience that when a board of directors issues a "complete support" statement, you can start collecting dollars (or Euros in this case) in the departure pool.
6th Gear: Get Ready: Honda Plans To Recycle Rare Earth (Metals)
The Associated Press says Honda is going to begin recovering rare earth metals from its hybrid batteries. The company says that would be a first for the auto industry. The recovery efforts are part of Honda's efforts to be greener, says its CEO, Takanobo Ito. But there's also a spat brewing between Japan and China over access to rare earth metals. China, which produces 90 percent of the rare earth metals used around the world, is putting limits on exports. That's causing all kinds of worries for technology heavy companies that need the material for everything from fuel cells to fiber optics.

Ciao, tesoro! On this day in 1947, the Mille Miglia race came back to life in Italy after World War II. That was 20 years after the running of the first Mille Miglia, but race was suspended for seven years starting in 1940. Although the war officially ended in 1945, Italy had been torn apart by the conflict. Rubber and fuel were still being rationed, and the country's roads and bridges had to be rebuilt. By 1947, organizers had mapped out a new 1,800 kilometer route, and 155 drivers set off for the race, eventually won by an Alfa Romeo. [History]

Author Notes: Pudding Chômeur is a traditional cake from Québec. It is rich and decadent and a perfect winter desert. With heavy cream on top of it it's even better! - Camille —camille
Food52 Review: If you crossed sticky toffee pudding with pancakes and maple syrup, you would get chomeur, a buttery biscuit submerged in a bath of maple syrup and cream. Pudding Chomeur takes no time to prepare: you mix the dough in 10 minutes and refrigerate it, and then the next day, you drop it into ramekins, pour over the syrup and cream and pop it into a very hot -- 450 degrees -- oven. As the syrup mixture boils it poaches and glazes the biscuit. This makes it both a great no-stress dinner party dessert and fun baking project to do with your kids. The recipe calls for 6 ramekins. The pudding is so rich you might want to make it in 10 to 12 small ramekins, baked for slightly less time, about 20 minutes. The batter should half fill the ramekins, and the syrup should come no closer than 1/4-inch from the rim, or it will boil over. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 6
Prep time: 24 hrs 10 min
Cook time: 25 min
cup butter
cup sugar
2 1/3
cups all purpose flour
teaspoon baking powder
cups maple syrup
cups heavy cream
- Beat butter and sugar until smooth
- Add eggs one at the time
- Add flour and baking powder and stir until flour is completely incorporated.
- Chill for at least 24 hours
- Preheat oven a 450 degres. Bring syrup and cream to a boil in a saucepan
- Divide dough in 6 ramekins and fill each with the cream and syrup mix
- Place ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes
- This recipe is a Wildcard Contest Winner!
- This recipe is a Community Pick!

Through The Portal: The Strange Tale of Thomas Barclay, Book I
Thomas Barclay is a student of medicine, an unwanted major he has taken only because it has been what his father, and his father before him and on down the family line has done. The fact that he does not wish to be a doctor has been a source of unending grief. So it is with no surprise, that Barclay while in the Library comes upon a book that speaks of a man whom no one wishes to talk about. A certain Dr. Lawrence Washburne, a doctor for whom Thomas Barc...

what kinds of foods are good for warding off depression?
There is no scientific evidence at this time that any specific food will ward off depression. Research is only beginning to identify possible relationships between diet and depression, and much remains to be learned. Alcohol is known to be a depressant, so it is best to consume alcoholic beverages only moderately or avoid it, especially if there is a tendency for depression.

US manufacturing grows at fastest pace since April '11, on stronger production, hiring
WASHINGTON – US factory activity expanded last month at the fastest pace in 2 ½ years, an encouraging sign that manufacturing could lift economic growth and hiring in the coming months.
The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, says its manufacturing index rose in September to 56.2, the highest since April 2011. That's up from 55.7 in August and fourth straight increase in the index. A reading above 50 indicates growth.
Manufacturers added jobs last month at the fastest pace in more than a year. A measure of output rose in September. And new orders grew at a healthy pace, though slower than in August.

· Sigma Photo Pro Monochrome Mode: This new black and white editing mode in the Sigma Photo Pro software processes the RAW data of the Sigma Merrill series for the creation of monochrome photography. Sigma's full-color capture system produces richly detailed monochrome images with a wide dynamic range from highlight to shadow. It creates ultra high-resolution images even at high ISOs with minimal noise. In this mode, photographers can expect smooth, beautiful gradations, and editing options that include a new Color Channel Mixer and a Film Grain Effect. Since Sigma's cameras do not use blur filters, and since the image sensors capture full image detail at each pixel location in the image, the Merrill camera series is uniquely positioned to produce great color, and black and white imagery. This feature set will be available in Sigma Photo Pro version 5.5, which will be available for download via the Sigma site. Images made using this monochrome editing tool will be displayed at the CES booth. For the full press release about this feature set, click here.
New products that were previously announced as part of the Global Vision restructuring and will be on display include:
· 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM: This new lens from the Contemporary line is 30 percent smaller than conventional models, and features two "F" Low Dispersion (FLD) glass elements with performance equal to fluorite, and one Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass element. Sigma and Canon mounts will be available this month, Nikon mounts will be available in February, and Sony and Pentax mounts will arrive in March. For the full press release, click here. The 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC MACRO OS HSM will be available for the street price of $499.
· 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM: This new lens from the Sports line will include Sigma's Optical Stabilization (OS) function, a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), and two FLD and one SLD glass elements. With a new dust- and splash-proof design, this lens will also have a focus limiter, which incorporates inner focusing and zooming that does not require a change to the length of the lens for focus and zoom. Sigma and Canon mounts will be available in February, and Nikon mounts will arrive in March. For the full press release, click here. The 120-300mm F2.8 DG OS HSM will be available for the street price of $3,599.
· USB Dock: In the industry's first USB dock, photographers are able to update the lens firmware and adjust parameters such as focus through the Sigma Optimization Pro software. Additionally, AF speed, focus limiter and OS functionality will be customizable via the dock for the Sports line of lenses. For the full press release, click here. Pricing and availability is yet to be announced.
Sigma Corporation of America's booth activities at this year's CES include:
· Sigma's CES Fashion Studio: Stop by the Sigma booth each day of the show to shoot with the SD1 Merrill or DP2 Merrill cameras. The studio will feature alternating high-end models in 1950s and 1960s or couture garb, and guided tutorials with Sigma Pros. All participants will walk away with a Sigma T-shirt and their images on a Sigma flash drive.
· Sigma 35mm F1.4 sweepstakes: By participating in the Sigma CES Fashion Studio, attendees will be entered to win a new Sigma 35mm F1.4 DG HSM lens in a camera mount of their choosing. The winner will be randomly chosen at the end of the show. Click here for contest rules.

|More of "The Happening Poppy Parker"
By Integrity Toys
Ok, this has to be one of my coolest miniature finds...only because I think jukeboxes are cool. Every once in a while, I go to Home Sense for interesting finds. It's like a US equivalent of Marshall's. They sell everything from clothes to cookware to home decor, etc. I assume most of their merchandise are leftover stock or defective items from major retailers, now offered at lower price points. I love going there because there's always something different to look at. And sometimes, just sometimes, I get lucky enough to find things worth my interest, like my pretty little jukebox!
The jukebox is actually a coin bank, with the coin slit on its back. I saw a couple of these at Home Sense and they were all missing the rubber stopper at the bottom that holds and releases the coins. I didn't care. I wanted it for my dolls. I think the doll to jukebox proportion is great. It looks classy too. I wish it lit up but one can't be too picky. Now all I need is an upscale soda shop diorama with a dance floor for The Happening Poppy Parker and I'm set....But then again, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here.
Happy Monday!


text: One note: Please review RFC2544 regarding packet loss and mitigation for small packets. We tested a number of switches about 18 months ago using an Anritsu MD1230 automated tester, and saw a lot of packet loss in switches that were not crafted for small packets. Something to consider. There are manufacturers who have engineered for both jumbo and small packets. The tuning for this is not trivial: the problems for small packets are not well translated to jumbo frames. As packet size decreases, overhead increases and the packet transmission rate goes 'way up. Jumbo frames may adversely impact switch fabric memory if you're testing store-and-forward devices not designed with sufficient memory for jumbos originally. Option 'B' is fragmentation, removing the benefit of jumbos immediately. Thanks, all the same, for posting your results. We're always interested in independent reports and independent methods!

The question I have is with 2000+ compute nodes what kind of infrastructure do I need to support this? > With 2000+ nodes you should definitely look at remote power control, and remote serial console access. Also you might think of separate install servers for each (say) 500 machines. Mirror them up to each other of course. Its unlikely that you would ever reboot 2000 machines at once, but think ahead to (say) quick power on following a power cut. I would hazard that any DHCP/PXE type install server would struggle with 2000 requests (yes- you arrange the power switching and/or reboots to stagger at N second intervals).

Top-notch customer service, excellent product selection, competitive pricing, and their attention to detail is superb. A valued and respected business in the Aurora, Ontario (and beyond) community.
It was my first time visiting Embroidery Studio in Aurora; all I can say is that I had a wonderful experience, the store owner Clara was very kind and helpful she went above and beyond by spending an hour helping me with my order; I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who requires a professional embroidery job.
No minimum order, reasonable prices, beautiful results and honest. You can't ask for anything more. We will definitely be back when we need more embroidery done.
Clara, Peter and the entire team at The Embroidery Studio are masters at their craft. Reasonable prices, friendly, open and honest. I love working with them!
