Ascariasis is an intestinal infection caused by a parasitic roundworm. While globally it is the most common human infection caused by worms, ascariasis is rare in the United States. It occurs most often in areas with poor sanitation or crowded living conditions.
Kids are more likely than adults to develop gastrointestinal symptoms with an ascariasis infection because their smaller intestines are at greater risk for intestinal obstruction. The greater the number of worms involved, the more severe the symptoms are likely to be.
Symptoms seen with mild infestation include:
More severe infestations can result in more serious signs and symptoms, including:
Ascariasis occurs when worm eggs of the parasite Ascaris lumbricoides commonly found in soil and human feces are ingested. The eggs can be transmitted from contaminated food, drink, or soil. The roundworms range in size from 5.9 to 9.8 inches for adult males and 9.8 to 13.8 inches for adult females. The worms can grow to be as thick as a pencil and can live for 1 to 2 years.
Ascariasis is frequently found in developing countries where sanitary conditions are poor or in areas where human feces are used as fertilizer. When the eggs are swallowed and passed into the intestine, they hatch into larvae. The larvae then begin to move through the body.
Once they get through the intestinal wall, the larvae travel from the liver to the lungs through the bloodstream. During this stage, pulmonary symptoms such as coughing (even coughing up worms) may occur. In the lungs, the larvae climb up through the bronchial tubes to the throat, where they are swallowed. The larvae then return to the small intestine where they grow, mature, mate, and lay eggs. The worms reach maturity about 2 months after an egg is ingested from the soil.
Adult worms live and remain in the small intestine. A female worm can produce up to 240,000 eggs in a day, which are then discharged into the feces (poop) and incubate in the soil for weeks. Children are particularly susceptible to ascariasis because they tend to put things in their mouths, including dirt, and they often have poorer hygiene habits than adults.
Ascariasis is common in warmer or tropical climates, particularly in developing nations, where it can affect large segments of the population. Ascariasis is rare in the United States, due to strict sanitation rules and regulations.
Ascariasis is not spread directly from one person to another. To become infected, an individual has to consume the worm's eggs.
The most important measure of protection against ascariasis is the safe and sanitary disposal of human waste, which can transmit eggs. Areas of the world that use human feces as fertilizer must thoroughly cook all foods or clean them with a proper iodine solution (particularly fruits and vegetables).
Children who are adopted from developing nations are frequently screened for worms as a precautionary measure. Kids who live in underdeveloped areas of the world may be prescribed a preventive deworming medication.
These practices are recommended for all children:
The doctor will usually prescribe antiparasitic medication to be taken orally to kill the intestinal roundworms. Sometimes the stool will be re-examined about 3 weeks after treatment to check for eggs and worms. Symptoms usually disappear within 1 week of starting treatment.
Very rarely, surgical removal of the worms may be necessary (particularly in cases of intestinal or liver-related obstruction, or abdominal infection). A child who has ascariasis should be evaluated for other intestinal parasites, such as pinworm.
If your child has ascariasis, the medication prescribed should be administered accordingly. To prevent reinfection:
If your child has any of the symptoms of ascariasis, contact your doctor right away. Stool samples will be sent to a laboratory to check for eggs and worms and confirm the diagnosis.
Call the doctor if symptoms do not improve with treatment or if new symptoms occur.

From the list of

Sarah McLoud's home, 5 hours after she and a friend robbed a bank.
Ms. McLoud and and her accomplice Robert Owens were arrested on the spot as police were able to identify the cash taken from the bank they robbed, the clothes she was wearing during the robbery, AND the ridiculous recent Google searches.
To top it off, police found heroin packaged for sale next to the same computer she had been performing the world's dumbest criminal Google searches on.
Sarah McLoud, you've been awarded the dumbest criminal of the day award.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' Ken Whisenhunt praises Patrick Peterson's standout performance against Lions
Arizona Cardinals' cornerback Patrick Peterson has had his share of ups and downs in his sophomore campaign this season.
But in the Cardinals' much-needed 38-10 win over the Lions on Sunday, Peterson put his exceptional talent on display and showed once again why he is one of the top young corners in the game.
Arizona head coach Ken Whisenhunt had nothing but praise for Peterson's performance, which included a tremendous effort against arguably the league's top wideout.
"There was a lot said last week about him wanting to compete against Calvin Johnson and that's putting it out there," Whisenhunt told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Monday. "Then you gotta back it up and just seeing him respond the way he does. He's a very confident young man, which is something that you like but when you're that way you have to back it up."
Peterson let his actions on the field do the talking against Johnson and the Lions on Sunday. He picked off a Matthew Stafford pass intended for Johnson in the second quarter, which paved the way for a crucial Beanie Wells touchdown.
The 22-year-old now has seven picks on the season, which is tied for second-best in the NFL. He also had a team-high seven tackles in Arizona's win over Detroit.
Whisenhunt said Peterson's success on Sunday stemmed from the impressive work ethic and mentality his young corner abides by week after week.
"He does it not with his words but with his actions, how he studies, how he works on the field, how he reacts with his teammates -- all important qualities some of the best players in the game that I've ever seen [Peterson] has a lot of those qualities," Whisenhunt explained.
The Cardinals knew they had something special in Peterson from the start when he burst on the scene his rookie season, establishing himself as an explosive punt returner and earning a Pro Bowl selection.
Still, for Peterson to solidify his status among the game's elite cornerbacks, he'll have to continue to perform at a high level for many years to come.
"The only thing [Peterson] doesn't have is he doesn't have it over time," Whisenhunt said. "That's something that he's got to prove consistently over time. But, he's off to a great start."

I am trying to track down an early devotee and personal servant of Srila Prabhupada named "ARAVINDA DAS" for my memoirs. His input would be extremely valuable as he witnessed first-hand many of Prabhupada's greatest triumphs (Moscow, etc.) Aravinda's karmi name is "ARTHUR J. FRIEDMAN" and his service is associated with Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles, though he could be anywhere by now. Anyone having any lead at all to finding Aravinda, kindly email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

The Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Betsy Hodges on Friday unanimously approved a resolution to recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day.
The second Monday in October has generally been recognized as Columbus Day.
"This act recognizes and celebrates the native people who still live on this land and will foster stronger relationships moving forward," said Mayor Hodges. "I am grateful to the community for organizing to make this a reality and am honored to sign this resolution, something I promised last summer I would."
The observance of Indigenous Peoples Day was first proposed in 1977 by a delegation of Native nations at a United Nations-sponsored conference, and has since been adopted in various forms by several cities around the country.
The Minneapolis resolution states, "The City of Minneapolis recognizes the annexation of Dakota homelands for the building of our city, and knows Indigenous nations have lived upon this land since time immemorial and values the progress our society has accomplished through American Indian technology, thought, and culture."

Task Force New England Power Summit Kicks Off In Boston
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Convenes Power Summit on Eve of Massachusetts Constitutional Convention Vote on Gay Marriage
Roberta Sklar, Director of Communications
Grassroots Leaders From Across the Nation Gather in Boston
From March 25-28, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force staff will train more than 150 leaders from across the country on electoral, legislative and fundraising strategies specifically focused on the issue of marriage equality. Nearly half of the Power Summit participants are from Massachusetts.
The Task Force Power Summit opened Thursday evening with welcoming remarks from Task Force Deputy Executive Director Rea Carey, a keynote speech from Mary Bonauto of Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders and a "what to expect" briefing for participants from Task Force Organizing & Training staff.
Friday features day-long electoral and legislative training sessions, followed on Saturday morning by door-to-door canvassing in Boston, an afternoon debrief from Task Force Executive Director Matt Foreman and an evening keynote speech from Congressman Barney Frank (MA-D). Sunday will feature a morning long fundraising training and an afternoon wrap up session.
Based on door-to-door voter identification work across the country, the Task Force predicts that the proportion of people supporting equal marriage rights during Saturday's canvassing will be significantly higher than recent polls would predict. "We know that when we have the opportunity to talk face-to-face with voters about our issues and our lives, 60% to 70% are with us," said Matt Foreman, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force Executive Director. "On the marriage issue, that is enough to stop anti-gay politicians from using the gay community as a wedge issue, and can change the result of a popular vote on the issue. Pro-marriage voters are being identified in the event an anti-marriage constitutional amendment is placed on the Massachusetts ballot in 2006."
Dave Fleischer, Task Force Director of Organizing & Training explains the importance of the New England Power Summit:
"Our community didn't pick a fight with anti-gay politicians. We want all Americans, Democrat, Republican and everyone in-between, to take a look at their gay neighbors and consider how much all of us have in common when it comes to our need to protect the people we love. Wedge-issue political ideologues, including President Bush, have made a serious miscalculation that will cost them votes in the upcoming elections. If the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community does its job and does this work on an appropriate scale, any politician who is relying on reflexive anti-gay sentiment to power their campaign will in fact be running a very high risk of losing because they have picked on the wrong group of people. We are going to fight back with a weapon that anti-gay bigots can't cope with: a direct, honest discussion with the American people."
Fleischer continued, "Anti-gay extremists and President Bush have picked a fight with us. And they're not interested in a fair fight. They want to hide behind vague language like 'sanctity' and code words that communicate to their base that ridiculing and demeaning gay people's aspirations to be full-fledged members of society is what they will get when they vote Republican. If anti-gay politicians want the votes of bigots, then the Task Force is committed to making sure that they learn that there is a cost attached to that choice. And the cost is the votes of fair-minded people, who as they learn more about what marriage means to lesbian and gay families and why it's important to us, will ultimately cast their vote against discrimination and for candidates for office who stand against discrimination."
"No matter what happens at the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention on March 29, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is committed to assisting our state and local allies in protecting equality in Massachusetts," Foreman said. "We will continue to train local leaders, produce groundbreaking research and knock on thousands of doors - and we have no doubt that equality and fairness will prevail in Massachusetts."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the political power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community from the ground up. We do this by training activists, organizing broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and by building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.

Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- Ethanol gained against gasoline on speculation that lower imports and higher demand will drain stockpiles of the fuel alternative.
The spread narrowed 2.65 cents to 69.01 cents a gallon. Imports were down 83 percent to 21,000 barrels a day in the week ended Feb. 15 from the 2012 high in October, according to the Energy Information Administration, while inventories are lower than year-ago levels.
"Relative to the discount to gasoline, there's no reason blenders shouldn't be using as much as they possibly can," said Terry Reilly, senior commodity analyst at Futures International LLC in Chicago. "We're importing less. That's another reason we should see a drawdown in stocks."
Denatured ethanol for March delivery rose 0.8 cent, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $2.371 a gallon on the Chicago Board of Trade. Futures have advanced 8.3 percent this year.
Gasoline for March delivery decreased 1.85 cents, or 0.6 percent, to $3.0611 a gallon on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract covers reformulated gasoline, which is made to be blended with ethanol before delivery to filling stations.
Reilly said better returns have given companies an incentive to raise ethanol production.
Output rose a third consecutive week in the period ended Feb. 15, the Energy Department's statistical arm said in a Feb. 21 report. Production is down 17 percent from the record 963,000 barrels a day in December 2011 as companies slashed operations because of higher corn prices caused by the worst drought since the 1930s.
Corn for March delivery advanced 3.25 cents, or 0.5 percent, to $6.935 a bushel in Chicago. One bushel makes at least 2.75 gallons of ethanol.
The corn crush spread, representing gains or losses from turning a bushel of corn into ethanol, was minus 15 cents, unchanged from Feb. 22. The amount doesn't include revenue from the sale of dried distillers' grains, a byproduct of ethanol production, which can be fed to livestock.
Joseph Glauber, the Agriculture Department's chief economist, said Feb. 21 that corn to be used for ethanol in the 2013-2014 growing season will be below 5 billion bushels for a second year.

ABC News is the news gathering and broadcasting division of the American Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company. Its flagship program is ABC World News Tonight; other programs include morning show Good Morning America, Nightline, newsmagazine shows Primetime and 20/20, and Sunday morning political affairs program This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
ABC began news broadcasts early in its independent existence as a radio network after the Federal Communications Commission ordered the former NBC Blue Network to be spun off as an independent company in 1943. This was done to keep single or a few companies such as NBC and CBS from dominating radio broadcasting in the United States, and in particular, from dominating news and political broadcasting and projecting narrow points-of-view. Television broadcasting was suspended however, during World War II.
Regular ABC television news broadcasts began soon after ABC started transmitting from its initial New York City television station (WABC-TV) and production center in late summer 1948. ABC news broadcasts have continued as the ABC television network spread across the country, a process that took many years, from that beginning in 1948 through today, but they have not always had the same level of success that they enjoy now. Throughout the 1950s, the 1960s, and the early 1970s, ABC News consistently ranked third in viewership behind CBS News and NBC News. Until the 1970s, the ABC television network had fewer affiliate stations, and also weaker prime-time programming lineups to support the network's news departments than the two larger networks had, each of which had established their radio news operations during the 1930s.
Under Roone Arledge[edit]
Only after Roone Arledge, the head of ABC Sports at that time, became the president of ABC News in 1977, at a time when the network's prime-time entertainment programs were achieving good ratings and drawing in advertising revenues and profits to the ABC corporation overall, was ABC able to invest the resources to make it a major source of news broadcasting. Arledge, known for experimenting with the broadcast "model", created many of ABC News's most popular and enduring programs, including 20/20, ABC World News Tonight, This Week, Nightline and Primetime Live.
ABC News gained respect in the early 1980s by covering the Iran hostage crisis and, later, for covering the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the San Francisco Bay Area (which occurred during the network's sports coverage of the 1989 World Series) with live telecasts.
ABC News' longtime slogan, "More Americans get their news from ABC News than from any other source", was a claim that refers to the number of people who watch, listen, and read ABC News programming on television, the radio, and the Internet, and not necessarily to the telecasts alone.[1]
Association with ESPN[edit]
ESPN, a sports-news organization with several cable and satellite television channels – and also majority owned by ABC parent The Walt Disney Company – provides sports bulletins and video for some of ABC News' programs, especially the network's overnight news programs; America This Morning features a segment of sports highlights provided by the overnight anchors of ESPN's flagship sports news program SportsCenter.
Partnership with Univision and launch of Fusion[edit]
On May 2, 2012, Univision Communications and ABC News entered into a joint venture to launch a digital cable and satellite television network for English-speaking Hispanic and Latino Americans. On February 11, 2013, the companies announced the dual network will be called "Fusion".[2][3] The network launched on October 28, 2013.
Other services[edit]
ABC News Radio, a service syndicated by Cumulus Media Networks, broadcasts hourly news updates, live feeds and specialty news, sports and entertainment programming to approximately 2,000 radio affiliates nationwide. As part of Disney's sale of the ABC Radio division to Citadel Broadcasting in 2007, ABC News entered into an exclusive agreement with Citadel to distribute its radio news service on terrestrial stations (Citadel has since merged with Cumulus Media).
ABC NewsOne is ABC News's affiliate news service. It gathers and feeds regional, national and international news material to ABC affiliates around the country and foreign networks.
A 30-second ABC News Brief is broadcast weekdays at 2:58 p.m. ET following General Hospital (though these newsbriefs are not aired on all ABC stations, those that do not carry the newsbriefs typically opt to begin local commercial breaks immediately following the network program preceding it). A news brief containing information relevant to college students is shown every hour on mtvU, and ABC News segments are packaged or customized for broadcast over Wal-Mart's in-store television network.

International broadcasts[edit]
Several programs from ABC News are shown daily on the 24-hour news network OSN News, a network of three 24-hour satellite and cable channels offering exclusively American news programming from ABC, NBC, PBS, and MSNBC to U.S. expatriates and other viewers abroad, primarily geared towards an audience in the Arab countries. The network is available on digital satellite and cable in Europe, Japan and Middle East, however, cable operators in Europe are currently unable to carry the channels due to unsolved rights issues. It is also available online on ABC News website.
In the United Kingdom, ABC World News airs regularly at 1:30 a.m. local time on the BBC News Channel, which itself may be simulcast on BBC One or BBC Two during the overnight period. No commercials are presented because the BBC's services in the U.K. are financed through license fees. ABC and the BBC also share video segments and reporters as needed in producing their newscasts.
In Australia, ABC World News is broadcast at 10:30 a.m. daily and Nightline is telecast at 1:30 a.m. daily on Sky News Australia. This is not to be confused with that nation's own ABC News, the news division of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. Also, Primetime is broadcast at 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays (extended edition) and at 1:30 p.m. on Thursdays. 20/20 is broadcast at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays (extended edition) and on Wednesdays at 1:30 p.m. ABC News maintains a content sharing agreement with the Nine Network, which also broadcasts GMA domestically in the early morning before their breakfast program.
In New Zealand, ABC World News was broadcast daily at 5:10 p.m. and at again at 11:35 p.m. Just as with the BBC in the U.K., it was shown commercial-free on Television New Zealand's TVNZ 7 channel, until it was shutdown on the 30th of June 2012 .

The second round of peace talks in Geneva between representatives of Bashar Al-Assad's regime in Syria and rebel forces has ended with both sides blaming each other for the lack of progress. Beyond the finger-pointing, however, lies a growing danger to the goal of a negotiated settlement. The civil war's religious divides are widening, making compromise unthinkable.
Representatives of the Syrian regime went to Geneva solely with the hope of convincing the opposition to let President Bashar al-Assad stay in power so he can forge an alliance against jihadist forces fighting in Syria, most notably the al Qaeda affiliates Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant. Their argument — one that many, including former U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker, have made — was that Assad is better than any likely alternative.
But the Syrian National Coalition, representing opposition forces, rejected the proposal outright. The coalition, which purports to be a post-Assad transitional government in waiting, has decided, along with Secretary of State John Kerry, that al Qaeda will be dealt with after Assad is gone. Its standing, however, is severely constrained by its lack of political credibility on the ground. It has become little more than a vehicle for Qatar and Saudi Arabia to vie for control of Syrian politics.
The problems in Syria, however, are far greater than the shortcomings of each side's negotiating teams in Geneva. When the civil war began in 201l, it was a fight between Syrians demanding greater civil rights and a government that ultimately provoked them into violent confrontation through its own brutality. That political struggle quickly morphed into a wider sectarian war between Sunni and Shia, flaring up across the Middle East.
Shia Iran was an early — and vital — financial and military supporter of Assad. It is intent on make sure he does not fall. Hezbollah's decision to send fighters into Syria last year, at Iran's command, to strengthen Assad's hand made the region's Sunni giant, Saudi Arabia, even more fearful of creeping Shia hegemony.

Kitchen Tour: Bob and Cortney of Sixx Design Serve Nine
Bob and Cortney have seven kids and their own reality TV show. So, while they may not do the type of cooking readers expect for kitchen tour hosts, they certainly use their kitchen.
In order to maintain impressive levels of sanity and get many things done in a day, Bob and Cortney are not ashamed to say that they like to order in. When not ordering in, they'll do a large portion of comfort food of some sort and make a lot of people happy all at once.
The kitchen is both beautiful and functional. It is also amenable to all but the baby of the family setting the table. Cortney keeps all the table ware and cloth napkins in drawers that are close to the floor for easy access. The kids take their responsibility for setting the table and clearing the table in stride, thus making things a little bit easier. The rest of the kitchen is full of space and storage and ample prep space.
Over the years Bob and Cortney have employed many ways to save money but still create inviting and very cool homes. The secret has often been to buy used/vintage/antique and spruce it up or appreciate it in its decaying form. They are also really good at taking advantage of art and real estate before it gets too 'discovered.' This kitchen appears much more sleek and modern than those in their previous homes, but there are some carryovers such as the dining room table coupled with distinct dining room chairs.
The Kitchn Questionnaire
What's your cooking style?
Family style, burgers, pasta, pizza. Anything easy and fast! We are also very adept at ordering in and heating up!
What inspires your kitchen?
We love an open floor plan so there is plenty of room for all of us around the kitchen table, which is really the hub of our home, and the center of our family life. The best part of our day is dinner, when we get together and find out what everybody has been doing for the whole day!
What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
Definitely, the grill on top of our stove. And our espresso machine. We especially love that first thing in the morning, if you know what I mean.
Best cooking advice or tip you ever received: Don't overcook! That really turns the food into something you don't want quickly, so we are careful not to do it.
Biggest challenge in your kitchen:
Meals for nine, that's a lot of cooking at once. And finding a meal that everybody wants and will eat. That can be a huge challenge, but we are lucky that the kids are not picky eaters and we are all very flexible.
Biggest indulgence:
We need two dishwashers, which might seem indulgent for other families, but with the number of dishes we have just from one meal alone, we would need to be running the dishwasher constantly. This way, we get it all done at once and get the kitchen back to normal.
Dream tool or splurge:
Believe it or not, the real splurge in the kitchen is the art, along with a beautiful vintage chandelier that makes the room elegant, so it is not just some place to eat, but a room to really enjoy.
What are you cooking this week?
We are making a lot of pasta! Those major carbs make everybody happy! We like all kinds of pasta, and it is super-easy and can feed a lot of people at once!
What cookbook has inspired you the most?
The Yellow Pages—we order out a lot. LOL We love lots of different kind of cuisines, but I guess it is the classic cook books that have the most impact over the years.
What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
A turkey, for Thanksgiving. We do it all the time. It is the most fun meal of the year, and one of the most labor-intensive to make, but always worthwhile.
Boffi kitchen, we always buy floor samples at half-price. Ikea has a great knock-off, and if you use nice hardware, it really works. We have Sub-Zero and Viking appliances now, but General Electric has their professional series that is just as good and much cheaper. The kitchen table is an old French lab table, and around the table, we have white pleather chairs we bought at Brooklyn flea, and recovered. The bench in the kitchen is vintage, and it came from Miami. The "Family" art is by Heidi Codi. We have lots of vases from Pier 1 on the table full of flowers. We always have flowers are in the kitchen!

"Boffi kitchen, we always buy floor samples at half-price." I admire their "scrappy" zeal.
Their kitchen is a workhorse, not too precious, not too hard. The chandelier takes it to another level.
I love the tortoise handle flatware! Where can I find?
Uh, I see Wolf, but not Viking. oops. Either way, everything about it is perfect.
The artwork and fine details make this space - else it would be just any other white kitchen. I respect that.
That dining table is just fab! The drawers are absolutely what make it for me!
This is one of my favourite kitchens of all-time.
Most modern kitchens feel sterile, empty and characterless. But they have managed with their artwork and with living with 7 children to make it into a lively and living space. They are great at finding just the right "thing" (that dining table is amazing, and with living with it.
And yes, that chandelier takes it to a whole different level. It's been stuck in my head ever since I laid eyes on it. I even wandered around Murano looking for its twin. (one day, one day!)
Just love their aesthetic and the sense of vitality which permeates their spaces. Gorgeous.
It's a real treat to see a tour of a kitchen as it is actually used by a home owner. I love that the drawers weren't tidied; that the medicines weren't alphabetised (nor the dish towels placed in size order) before the photographer arrived ;-)

Back in the days before 10Gbps Ethernet was available, the fact that IP-based storage like iSCSI and NFS were stuck at 1Gbps Ethernet speed was used to prove that 2Gbps and 4Gbps Fibre Channel still reigned supreme. Today, with the wide availability and plummeting cost of 10GbE networking hardware, many now argue -- ironically enough -- that the reverse is true.
Yes, 10GbE can play a tremendously beneficial role in storage networks for a variety of reasons. But focusing solely on the wire rates can be extremely misleading, especially when you compare Ethernet to Fibre Channel, which at a fundamental level are two vastly different protocols. That raises a simple question: When do you really need 10GbE rather 1GbE?
When you take a good, hard look at it, how much do these raw throughput stats actually matter? What does operating at 10Gbps speeds offer you that multiple 1Gbps links do not? Answering that question might seem pretty obvious, but it's not quite as straightforward as it seems.

STEVENS POINT, Wis. (WSAU) - Portage County health officials have confirmed that a bird has died of West Nile virus.
The dead crow was found July 25th. The positive test is the first one since screening started in May.
West Nile is spread to humans and other mammals through infected mosquito bites. The virus can be hazardous to people with weakened immune systems. Residents should take appropriate precautions to prevent mosquito bites, including using bug repellant and making sure the bugs don't have stagnant water to breed in.
If you have questions about the virus, call the health department at 715-345-5958

(Wire)Frame Yourself
Return to: GROK Dot Com 7/01/2001
Wireframing is wonderfully straight-forward, amazingly sensible and devoid of wonky-geek requirements. I've asked my really good friend, John Quarto-vonTivadar - he's my wireframing hero - to give you the inside scoop. I know you ladies and gentlemen will give him a nice round of applause and your full attention. So now, please welcome John Quarto-vonTivadar on wireframing!
Wireframing takes its name from the skeletal wire structures that underlie any type of sculpture. Without this foundation, there is no support for the fleshing-out that creates the finished piece. Many site owners and developers are unaware of this powerful, cost-effective preliminary planning strategy for building websites, and those who are often make the expensive mistake of thinking it is the same as storyboarding. Wireframing, however, is storyboarding's parent technique (see Behind the Scenes on storyboarding), and a website overlooks the potential of wireframing to its detriment.
In web-speak, a wireframe is a skeletal rendering of every click-through possibility on your site - a text-only "action," "decision" or "experience" model. Its purpose is to maintain the flow of your specific logical and business functions by identifying all the entry and exit points your users will experience on every page of your site. The goal is to ensure your needs and the needs of your visitors will be met effectively in the resulting website. You wireframe first, before a single line of code is written, a single graphic or color is chosen, or a single word of copy is composed. Wireframing is not concerned with design, navigational layout, content or even the developers' and designers' concepts of how to produce your website. (See a sample HTML wireframe.)
These concerns are ultimately distractions to the process of wireframing that can lead to expensive and time-consuming revisions later in the project. During wireframing, your development and design team's job is to listen. Your job is to talk, conveying what you and your visitors want. Although its role is essential, creating a "pure" wireframe does not take a long time - and it is important that nothing "pollute" the process. The cleaner the wireframe, the more time and money you save.
How much time and money? Hal Helms, who speaks extensively on wireframing and prototyping, cites statistics indicating 70% of software projects fail outright, and the 30% that do succeed accrue 80% of their total costs after the initial release1. Using wireframing and the subsequent techniques of storyboarding and prototyping, you can cut final development cost and time by at least one-third. Should you be interested in wireframing? Darn right!
The wireframe provides the outline for your storyboard, which easily can be fleshed-out after all iterations of the wireframe are complete. The resulting storyboard represents all the subsequent decisions pertaining to development and design, grounded in the structure of the wireframe. Your developers and designers need never work in a vacuum - the wireframe guides every design, information architecture, navigation, usability and content consideration.
The distinction between wireframe and storyboard is critical, and the two cannot be merged: wireframing defines the "what" of the creative process while storyboarding tackles the "how." The importance of maintaining distinct roles for phases of an undertaking is not a new idea2, and Richard Wurman reiterates,
There are two parts to solving any problem: What you want to accomplish, and how you want to do it. Even the most creative people attack issues by leaping over what they want to do and going on to how they will do it. There are many 'how's but only one 'what'...You must always ask the question 'What is?' before you ask the question 'How to?'3
Ever get to the end of a project and find yourself musing: "That's nice, but what if we did …?" "What we really wanted to do was …" or "That's not quite what we had in mind!" By this near-disaster stage, you're not asking 'How does this work?'. You're worrying instead: "Why does it do that?" "Why are we over-budget?" "Why is the website late?"
If you want to avoid this, wireframe. Wireframing is straight-forward, direct and entirely non-techie. It requires only that you identify what you want every part of the site to do and what your site needs to do to respond effectively to the motivations and needs of your visitors. If you take care of the whats (wireframing), the hows (storyboarding and prototyping) will virtually take care of themselves, and you won't be troubled with those nasty whys.
How do you create a wireframe? The process begins with a dialogue. Together, you and your developers determine what needs to be done to translate your business successfully into a website. Nobody knows your business better than you, so you will be doing most of the talking - your developers will be listening to ensure the resulting wireframe accurately represents all the "whats" pertaining to your business. You answer the "what" questions, "action" questions: What does a visitor do at this point? Where can a visitor go from here? You ignore questions about what your visitor sees at this point.
The wireframe should consist of words - no images - transcribed by your attentive developers based on what you say. In wireframing, you use aural senses (talk/listen) to determine what the site should do. You defer the visual senses (look/feel) to storyboarding, where you attend to how the site will appear. You cannot "see" how a site will work until you first "listen" to what the site should do!
The wireframe can be created on paper: simple pages reflect what every single part of your site does, focusing on ways a visitor would enter and exit from each step in the process. Alternatively, and more conveniently, a wireframe can be created "live," in very simple HTML, so the iterative process of refining the wireframe is quick and easy4.
The best wireframing happens on the spot; it's created as the dialogue is taking place. This ensures you can comment, question and make corrections immediately, and helps guarantee the developers will truly "hear" you and leave with a base structure for creating a storyboard that accurately addresses your and your visitors' needs. In addition to transcribing as you speak, your developers can guide you with questions that help clarify the "what" of your website. You can make sure the conversation avoids discussions of graphics, layouts, databases or content. The inherent constraints of the process will keep everyone on track. If all cooperate, the project simply cannot go too far astray.
In the end, the wireframe will act as a complete text-only version of your site. You will have crystallized the business logic and user functionality, and kept it efficiently separate from all other issues. Now, and only now, do you have a solid foundation for creating your storyboard, a task that can proceed in parallel with development of the prototype.
The cost benefits to wireframing are not insignificant. No developer is able to evaluate an accurate price for a site or to storyboard it effectively in the absence of understanding the "what" questions wireframing clarifies - unless they plan to use templated code. You can be certain developers using templates will have a vested interest in creating a site that requires the fewest changes to the pre-existing template, which means your needs are likely to take a back seat. Insist on proper wireframing and you actually minimize your overall cost while ensuring the ultimate code reflects only what you want.
If your development team cannot or will not provide wireframing before pricing your site, it would be worthwhile to hire someone to help you expertly wireframe it. Call in the developers afterwards - and since so much of the initial hard thinking they foreswore will be accomplished, you rightly will be entitled to negotiate a much lower price for "just" the development. Oddly, most developers will love you for this - you are the "perfect client" who comes to the table well prepared for using the development team's skills. They get to jump right into the "how" because you've done all the "what." You get a faster turn-around time, and everyone wins, including your wallet.
Neat stuff, huh? If you are interested in more information about wireframing, you can email Future Now at email@example.com. And watch this space, 'cause just for you I'm going to ask John to work his explanatory magic on the process of prototyping.
1 "ColdFusion To Go" by Hal Helms
2 Two millennia ago, the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote in his "Meditations", '…of each particular thing ask: what is it, in and of itself? What is its causal nature?'
3 Information Anxiety 2, by Richard Wurman
4 Helms wrote a great little utility for wireframing using ColdFusion, that you can get free at www.halhelms.com ; your developers might have their own already rolled up in some other convenient platform. How they do it is trivial, as long as they do do it.

The community thinks...
Not a Better Sports Car for the Money by TEF on 12/20/2010. Trim: 2004 Nissan 350Z Touring Coupe, Owned 6 years.
Pros: Having owned front-wheel-drive station wagons and minivans over the years, the "Z" was the sports car I always wanted - and I am not disappointed. It was virtually brand new when acquired in 04 and, aside from fuel fillier hose recall, the "Z" has been flawless. It's an incredable combination of handling, power, great styling and reliability. In fact, I cannot think of another car in its price range that comes close. Even more surprising is the cars relatively low fuel consumption especially at a steady highway speeds - almost 30 mpg.
Cons: Much has been said about its cheap interior and harsh ride. However, for all the car offers, consider the hard plastic interior a necessary compromise. I am sure the Boxter has a much better one, but I could never justify the acquisition and long-term maintenance costs of a Porsche. As for the ride, it can be attributed in part to our taste for 18" rims. I notice the car is smoother on 17's, but, of course, they lack the bling of larger rims.
Overall review: Each spring when the "Z" is removed from storage, it's like a new car. I never tire of the car's precise steering and rear wheel drive. Relative to a front-wheel drive station wagon the contrast is even more pronounced. Even errands are not that tedious, if one gets to use the "Z".

Atlas Soundtrack performed at Summer's Best Music Fest Last Saturday
Posted by Brandon Vesely on 06/25 at 04:22 PM
Local hip-hop group Atlas Soundtrack closed out State College's seventh annual Summer's Best Music Fest on Saturday with a high energy performance that featured their most popular songs.
A pre-Artsfest of sorts, The Downtown State College Improvement District organizes the yearly festival, which hosts local and regional artists from a variety of genres. Fifteen artists, including the Percolators and the Tussey Mountain Moonshiners, performed at this year's event, which also incorporated a sidewalk sale and a paint contest among other attractions.
Atlas Soundtrack is a State College-based group that combines elements of hip-hop, reggae, and other musical genres, to create catchy, danceable tunes with the perfect mixture of excitement and nostalgia. The group writes their own original songs, which makes them stand out amid the sea of local cover bands.
The group's set list included some of their hit tracks like "Thankful," "Wassup," and "Here and Now."
Drew "Dubb" Jackson, the group's MC, and Matt Savereno, the group's lead vocalist/guitarist livened up the crowd with their charismatic stage presences.
Enthusiastic fans crowded the Heister Street "Rock the Block Stage," dancing and spinning hula hoops as the local legends powered through their set of innovative tracks, alternating between bouncing hip-hop beats and smooth reggae jams.
Throughout the concert, members of Atlas Soundtrack emphasized their sense of community. The musicians expressed the pride they felt as natives of State College, and sought to bolster the audience's sense of togetherness. Even after their explosive performance of the up-beat hip-hop track, "Wassup," the jubilant crowd would not let the performers bid their farewells. With chants of "one more song," audience members convinced Atlas to perform a series of encore tracks, including a captivating instrumental beat to close out the night.
Unfortunately, there has been talk of Atlas Soundtrack going on hiatus or breaking up. Regardless of the band's uncertain future, their contributions to the State College music scene are undeniable. Though I've seen Atlas Soundtrack perform before, their musical talent, innovation, and energetic stage presence always impresses me, and I'd highly recommend checking out their music.
Check out http://atlassoundtrack.com for more information about the band or http://summersbestmusicfest.com for more information about the festival or ways to get involved.

F3's partnership with EVOL Foods is as natural as the ingredients in their burritos. Their mission may sound familiar: inspire people to care about where food comes from and how it is produced by making real food that tastes delicious. While the language is a bit different, EVOL and F3 share the same basic message: real food is the best food for people and the planet.
Founded by Chef Ann Cooper, the Food Family Farming Foundation is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization created to empower schools to serve nutritious whole food to all students. Changing the outlook of our children's future through the power of choice, food and flavors – real whole foods in schools will impact our families and our food system in a profound way. F3 supports positive change through educational training programs, direct services, a web portal and collateral resources.
Ensure that all children have access to healthy food at school to grow their bodies, minds and future.
To provide tools that enable all schools, parents, advocates, students, administrators, teachers and food service staff to progress from serving highly processed, unhealthy food to serving fresh, scratch-cooked food.
Our Work:
Food Family Farming Foundation has been focusing its efforts on two projects: The Lunch Box - Healthy Tools To Help All Schools a web-based portal that enables all schools and school districts to make a healthy difference for all children in America. The Lunch Box provides the most current information and the pragmatic tools necessary to make good food available for all kids. Let's Move Salad Bars to Schools is helping schools take the first step to fresher whole foods by implementing salad bars as part of their meal programs. User feedback since the launch has allowed us to refine areas of the website to increase ease of use, and in January 2011 we filmed website tutorials which are now available on every key area of the site. The current development projects for The Lunch Box include bringing users more recipes, new equipment grant opportunities and creating the Procurement Tool Module which is a critical need for schools shifting from processed ready to heat menus to scratch cooking and adding more recipes to The Lunch Box.

Hemp: the sails of Columbus ships were woven of it. The Declaration of Independence was written on it. It was once Americas largest cash crop, used for fabric, rope, paper and more. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson even grew it on their plantations as a matter of patriotic duty. So you can forget all about tie-dye, flower children and ahem, illicit activities. Hemp is an unsung hero of fabrics, well worth giving a second look.
Our prewashed soft hemp fabric is woven from the fiber in the stalks, not the outlawed leaves, so its 100% legal. One of the worlds strongest fibers, it's 3x stronger than cotton, lightweight, breathable and as comfortable as any summer shirt in your closet. It has a good-looking natural texture akin to linen nice enough for dinner out but slightly burlier, perfect for a Duluth man. What else could you want in the steamy summer months?

Best Uses
A great product however its no longer in your site? What happened? Will it come back or do I need to look to other retailers?
Best Uses
This is a good product worth the cost, I would not buy it to get it dirty. It's comfortable to wear at work as well as work in but the quality is so nice. I didn't feel he sun beating on where the shirt. I felt the cool rare breeze thru the shirt and didn't feel naked. I receive compliments when I wear the shirt before the day is over. The body is a little long { not as tall as I think I should be :-) } bigger buttons would make the shirt even better
Best Uses
I have been wearing this shirt over-top my t-shirt for about 2 weeks straight since I received it. It is a heavy (thick) shirt, but at the same time it is very airy and cool. It has been 80+deg here and I have been wearing this shirt over top another t-shirt and I do not get hot at all.
Like most Duluth products I typically buy them with the intent of wearing them almost every day. No signs of wear yet after 2 weeks of wear. Great product!
Best Uses
Great hot weather work shirt that can also go "to town".
Limited choices in patterns - many of the choices were not available
Best Uses
This hat is awesome: great durability, flexibility, mobility, and well designed. It retains its simplicity and classic style, but is well thought out with the right size brim, great ventilation and the ability to button up the sides.
If you need a good hat that fits multiple occasions to protect you from the sun without making you feel hot, this is it!
I can actually feel my body temperature go down when I'm wearing this hat as opposed to no hat at all.
Best Uses
Great shirt. Runs large. Can't wait to buy a few more
Best Uses
Typical Duluth Trading quality, design and it looks great!
Best Uses
I'm not a clothing designer, but I figure some kind of sizing should be incorporated into the button holes and button areas to keep the edge of the shirt from wrinkling and creasing up in the wash. I have to iron the edges flat.
Best Uses
I love this shirt. It's one of my favorites. It looks great and it's really comfortable. It does have some drawbacks that you need to be aware of.
First, it's a bit heavier material than most cotton shirts, so it's warmer to wear. However, it does breath very well so, especially with a little breeze, it's not too bad (I haven't worn it in 90+ degree temperatures yet though either).
Second, it's short. I'm only 6' tall. If I tuck the shirt in and reach my arms above my head the sides of the shirt pull out of my pants. This is the single most disappointing thing about this shirt. Duluth advertises "long-tail" shirts designed to not pull out of your pants. I realize this isn't a "long-tail" shirt, but I would think a manufacturer conscious enough to realize that people don't like their shirts to come untucked would also be conscious enough to make their shirts a little longer. I have other 3XL shirts that are a couple of inches longer than this one.
Finally, and I'm not too upset about this, this shirt wrinkles really badly. With one exception I find the wrinkles to mostly be unnoticeable. The exception is the flap of material that runs down the front of the shirt that has tholes for the buttons in it. That wrinkles so badly that the edge of it curls out. When I sit down it makes me look like I'm busting out of the shirt. It's really annoying, but it's not a deal-breaker for me.
Like I said. This is one of my favorite shirts.
Best Uses
I wear the shirt for everyday but try not to wear it where I would get stains on it. To expensive to just ruin. Needs ironing after wash and dry to look nice. A comfortable airey shirt for summer. Of course I love plaid patterns.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Wisconsin farmers are still waiting to see exactly what federal programs will be available, after some provisions of the previous Farm Bill were extended.
Sue Hunter of the Farm Service Agency said that as of Friday, local FSA offices were not notified about the programs that have been extended – or when sign-ups can take place. As a result, they won't be meeting with farmers on the subject until they get official details.
Hunter says farmers should make sure their local Farm Service Agency has their e-mail addresses – plus the most current information on their farm operations.
Congress extended parts of the 2008 Farm Bill for another year, as part of the negotiations which kept the federal government from falling over the fiscal cliff.
Among other things, the Milk Income Loss Contract program – which provides federal supports to dairy farmers when market prices fall below certain levels – will continue as it's been. A new dairy insurance program had been endorsed last year as part of a new Farm Bill that never got passed.
