Jordan school board's raise ignites a firestorm of protest
Other Utah district officials mulling hikes or are shying away
As angry residents Wednesday flooded Jordan School District with phone calls about the school board's 300 percent pay raise, leaders of two other school boards said they want to follow Jordan's lead.
Alpine and Washington boards of education are studying other elected officials' pay to see if it's high time it's been a decade to hike their compensation beyond the $3,000 mark.
But others are keeping hands off what one leader calls a political hot potato.
The Jordan Board of Education Tuesday night voted to raise members' pay from $3,000 a year to $12,000 a year, and tie it to the consumer price index to rise with the cost of living. Board members also can take a cash payout in lieu of insurance benefits, offered for years at district expense and costing more than $17,000 a year.
That's after the state Legislature changed the law holding school boards' pay at $3,000 a year. Now, boards can determine their own compensation; Jordan is the first of 40 Utah district school boards known to act on the new law.
"They're certainly free to do what they want, (but) I have no personal desire to approach that," Granite Board of Education President Sarah Meier said. "I would probably question the timing, and that's all ... just because of the political climate."
Jordan and Granite districts face the ultimate challenge from east-side cities that want to break ranks and form their own school district. That might not be the best time to thrust themselves into the public spotlight over pay, appropriate or not.
"There seem to be so many things distracting and pulling us away (from more important issues)," Meier said. "It's one more thing the public is going to say, 'What's that about?"'
The district has been flooded with angry phone calls, perhaps 100 by 4 p.m. Wednesday more than the switchboard has fielded on any other recent issue, Jordan spokeswoman Melinda Colton said.
"They're mad and they want to talk to somebody ... to explain it in more detail," she said. "I think a lot of it, from what we're hearing ... is people don't quite understand the timing with a district split looming, you've got, in addition, the board (members) giving themselves raises."
The district referred angry callers to their school board members for explanation, Colton said.
But Jordan Board President J. Dale Christensen, who says he received only a handful of e-mails about the decision one, he says, thanking the board for careful and sincere deliberation and appropriate action doesn't apologize for the raise or timing.
"I guess some people can look at it that way," he said.
"I think it's a natural reaction of people to be interested and concerned in district resources. I just don't know if people understand the role, function and responsibility of board members and the magnitude of time and energy and responsibility that board members carry. So with respect to the compensation itself, I feel very comfortable and feel the compensation is appropriate and long overdue."
Others feel the same.
The Alpine Board of Education has asked its staff to research compensation for area city council members for upcoming discussions on the matter, President Debbie Taylor said.
"When we go to national conventions, we hear a school (board member) in Florida getting $60,000 a year, and ... they still have other careers," Taylor said, adding she's speaking for herself and not necessarily for the board. "There's a lot of sacrifice made in public service. You're on the front lines, you're on duty whether you're in line at the supermarket or at the baseball game."

Triple bridges, Ljubljana
2 Reviews
2 Reviews
Favorite thing: Tromostovje (= Triple Bridge) is one of the bridges crossing the Ljubljanica river. It is made up of a middle bridge built in 1842 and two bridges added between 1929 and 1931. These side bridges were designed by J. Plecnik and are for pedestrians. The middle bridge is for cars. Tromostovje links Preseren Square to the Old Town.
Favorite thing: I know it's not a hot top tip on something cool and groovy BUT, if you are troubled by a weak bladder or have small people that need to go NOW it's good to know that there are toilets down under the triple bridge!

Little Venice Vacation Packages
Many of London's most interesting sights are within easy reach of Little Venice, making it a smart choice as a place to base yourself during your visit. Two sights that should be at the top of every visitor's itinerary is the wonderful Electric Cinema and the ever-popular Hampstead Theatre. And don't miss the Swiss Cottage Farmers' Market and the Tricycle Theatre.
London is known as home to the legendary Big Ben. This must-see attraction is only less than 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) from the heart of town.
Spend time in the center of London. Don't miss Buckingham Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and Trafalgar Square.
To really understand London, take a trip to one of its many cultural destinations. Admire, learn and be thoroughly entertained in the various museums such as Wallace Collection and the London Science Museum. To catch home-grown and touring acts, spend an evening at Wigmore Hall, one of the area's best-loved live concert venues.
Looking for some fun for the kids? Everyone will be thoroughly entertained at some of the child-friendly in the area. Experience some of the Earth's most remarkable creatures at London Zoo.
If the weather is good get into the great outdoors and enjoy the nearby green spaces. Spend a morning in one of the parks and gardens, which include Holland Park. Discover the beauty of Primrose Hill.
If you could do with a spot of retail therapy, explore the boutiques, stores and stalls of Selfridges, the Westfield London Shopping Centre and the Whiteleys Shopping Centre.
Watch the Marylebone Cricket Club go head to head with rival teams at the nearby Lord's Cricket Ground. True sports nuts also have the chance to smell the liniment in the lockers rooms and peek into the inner workings of Lord's Cricket Ground by signing up for a fascinating behind the scenes tour.
Finding somewhere suitable to base yourself within the Little Venice area is easy. The Copthorne Tara Hotel London Kensington, the Hilton London Metropole and the London House Hotel are among the best places to stay while you are enjoying this special area.

Food is moderate, not the best in town, but I enjoy it. Be prepared: You are going wait - to be seated, to order, to drink, to eat. Come hungry, you will eat for two with any meal. Mondays offers $1 Regular Margaritas/$2 Super Margaritas with purchase of entreé. Worth a visit, especially on Mondays.Like this review?Yes|Flag Abuse

I grabbed some menus and picked my own seat...still no one came..I had to literally go get someone out the kitchen..i was so mad...I wouldn't go there again..if it wasn't for those dame delicious Carnitas...mm..

How to Prepare for an Emergency
This entry was posted on May 31, 2002.
A natural disaster can happen at any time. Some disasters give warning like a storm preceding a flood. Others, like earthquakes or tsunamis, give no warning. Once a disaster happens, the time to prepare is gone and all you can do is cope. Take the next few minutes to examine what you can do to prepare. Anything you do today to will be like making a deposit in your survivability savings account for withdrawal in tough times.
TheEpicenter.com has composed a list of recommended supplies for your car, home, and work location. At a minimum, you should prepare to be isolated and on your own for at least a minimum of 3 days and nights. There will likely be the loss of utilities after a disaster. Power outages are a given, but water may be scarce as well. The phone system may be inoperable. Your only source of news will be the car radio, assuming your local radio station has generator equipment. There might not be medical help for minor cuts or broken bones for several days.
With the loss of power comes side effects you may not think of. There will be no gasoline available. (Without power, there is no way to pump the gas.) You might be far from home. Your car's heater might be your only source of heat. The money in your pocket will have to last until power is returned. Some supplies may be available, but buying some items like a manual can opener will be impossible. Cash cards will be useless if power or phone lines are lost. Many stores will have a hard time opening since items don't have prices on them anymore, thanks to scanning cash registers! You get the picture.
How to Prepare for an Emergency
You could be just about anywhere when a disaster strikes; in the bathroom, driving to the store, sitting at your desk at work, or in the back yard. But remember, you will most likely be at, or near one of the following:
- At Home
- Your Car
- At Work
You need to have supplies on hand at each location. It may sound like overkill, but you can't expect all three locations to be unscathed if a large disaster strikes. If you store provisions at each location, you will cover most of the likely situations. Another note: pets may not be allowed into shelters for health and space reasons. Prepare an emergency pen for pets in the home that includes, at a minimum, a three (3) day supply of dry food and a large container of water.
Some Things You Can Do to Prepare
In each section below we have provided a list of "things to do" to prepare, as well as a list of recommended supplies. The largest list is for items slanted mostly for your home. After all, home is where you have the largest space available for your supplies. This is an ideal list and we at TheEpicenter.com realize that some of these items might be a bit out of reach for many. We recommend starting small and slowly building up your supplies over time as your finances permit. Look the list over, and try to understand why some of the items are listed. What we all really need to survive is food, water, and shelter. Beyond these three categories, everything else is just for comfort. But again, anything you can put away now may be greatly appreciated if you are ever in time of need!
Prepare At Home
Home is where you can do the most to be prepared. But remember that you are only home for about 1/2 of the hours in a day. You must also be prepared at work, and have additional supplies in your car.
- Strap gas appliances to walls or floor, especially the water heater. Remember your water heater is a large source of water, and weighs several hundred pounds when full. A four hundred pound water heater will break gas lines on its way to the floor. Gas appliances are a real danger in an earthquake, and are the cause of most fires after a quake.
- Verify your house is bolted to its foundation.
- Repair defective electrical wiring and leaky gas connections. These are potential fire risks.
- Brace overhead light fixtures.
- Replace solid gas lines with flexible lines on stoves, water heaters, and dryers.
- Nail plywood on top of ceiling joists inside the attic to protect people from chimney bricks that could fall through the ceiling.
Know your house:
- Find out where the utility shutoffs are for water, power, and gas.
- Place a flashlight or an emergency light next to your breaker panel.
- Place a wrench in your water meter box located near the street.
- Place or attach a "4-in-1 Tool" on your gas meter for turning off the gas.
- Evaluate each room in your house. Ask yourself: what will fall on my head, or will keep me from getting out if it fell? Secure anything you find. Hang heavy items such as pictures and mirrors away from beds, couches, and anywhere people sit.
- Fasten shelves securely to walls and place large or heavy objects on lower shelves.
- Store breakable items such as bottled foods, glass, and china in low, closed cabinets with latches.
- Store household chemicals on a bottom shelf of a closed cabinet. Never store bleach and ammonia in the same cabinet. These chemicals, when mixed, will create a toxic gas as deadly as any ever created.
- Identify the best and worst places to be in your house. Remember that you might not have any choice as to where you will be located when a disaster strikes. The best places inside the house are under major beams that are secured to the rest of the structure, or in strong doorways, or inner structural walls. The worst places are in front of windows, or near fireplaces and chimneys.
- Make an emergency plan including escape routes and meeting places. Choose both a nearby meeting place and an out of state relative to be your check in contact for the family.
- Test your emergency plan with all members of the family present.
- Plug emergency lighting into selected outlets. (These flashlights are constantly charged, and turn on automatically when power fails, or when the units are unplugged.)
- Keep all tree and shrub limbs trimmed so they don't come in contact with wires.
- Keep trees adjacent to buildings free of dead or dying wood.
- Store combustible or flammable materials in approved safety containers and keep them away from the house.
- Install smoke detectors on every level of your home and near sleeping areas.
Know your neighbors and neighborhood:
- Contact your local school district to obtain policy regarding how children will be released from school.
- Know the location of the nearest police and fire stations, as well as the route to the nearest hospital emergency room.
- Meet with neighbors and find out who has medical experience.
- If you are taking this preparedness thing seriously, share this information with the households next to you. The more people you can convince to prepare, the greater your group resources. Remember that you will be called upon by all around you for help, especially by those who didn't take warnings seriously. (Remember Noah?)
- Give spare keys to your trusted neighbors. Show them where the utility shutoffs are and provide them with a list of contact phone numbers.
- Ask how to turn off your neighbors utilities.
Know your family:
- Hold a home evacuation drill to test your emergency plan with all members of the family present.
- Teach your children how to get help from neighbors and 911.
- Keep photos of family members in wallet in case they turn up missing.
- Teach household members how to turn off utilities.
- In case family members are separated from one another during an earthquake (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), develop a plan for reuniting after the disaster.
- Ask an out of state relative or friend to serve as the "family contact." After a disaster, it's often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone in the family knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person.
Supplies to Store at Home
- 30 gallons per person (2 gallons per person per day for 1 week). This might sound excessive, but look at your water bill this month! This figure assumes that when at home, you will occasionally want a sponge bath, or to cook something like pasta or rice. You might even wash your hair or clothes, and will eventually flush a toilet. Large food grade 55 gallon plastic drums are ideal for bulk water storage. A good location is in your detached garage. Remember that your water heater in the house is typically 50 gallons, and may be used if your dwelling survives.
- Additional water may be purchased in single use plastic bottles, and should be stored away from the house or garage. Remember that these water bottles will need to be rotated out since they have a limited shelf life unless water treatment is used.
- Another, perhaps easier, solution is to store Coast Guard approved water rations or military-style canned water — these are available at TheEpicenter.com.
- Canned goods - ready to eat soups, meats, veggies and fruit. The same type of food you normally have on hand. Make a point to start buying extra of whatever you normally buy, to dedicate to your supplies. Date the top of anything you buy with a black permanent marker.
- Plan for a minimum of three (3) cans per person per day for a week (about two mixed cases per person). Store these items in suitcases near corners of the house. Additional food should be stored in the garage, and at another location away from the dwelling. Pay close attention to how the packaging will hold up to damp environments. Cans will rust unless you protect them. A good way to protect an item for damp storage is to put it in a zip lock bag, then pack it inside a food grade plastic bucket (with lid). Remember to maximize canned goods with moisture content like ready to eat soup. Don't forget a manual can opener! No power, no way to open cans!
- MRE's - meals ready to eat. These are ideal for outside storage. Remember, the key is to distribute your supplies at various locations. These may be stored in the worst of conditions. Long shelf life with no rotation. Click here for more information on MREs.
- Long shelf life Freeze dried or Dehydrated foods. But remember, these items require water. Click here for more information on freeze dried and dehydrated foods.
- Pet foods (as needed).
- Barbecue grill
- 40 pounds charcoal
- 2 cans of starter fluid
- Or... a propane unit with two 20-pound containers of propane. A propane camp stove may also be used.
- Pot(s) and pan(s) for cooking
- Kitchen knife
- Silverware; spoon, fork
- Styrofoam cups
- Waterproof matches or lighter
- Zip lock bags
- Can Opener!
- Aluminum foil. A must! Can be formed into just about anything you might need.
- Two person tube tent minimum (larger size better)
- Wool blanket or sleeping bag
- Emergency space blanket
- Instant hand/body warming pads
- Propane-powered heater, 20 pound cylinder mounted
- First aid kit. (TheEpicenter.com has several First Aid Kits available). We also recommend taking a first aid class including CPR.
- First aid manual
- Extra prescription medications
- Aspirin or Ibuprofen
- Flashlight with 2 sets of spare alkaline batteries and one spare bulb. LED flashightsare also available and run much longer on a set of batteries.
- Lantern battery, kerosene or propane powered. Store fuel or batteries, but never use fuel based lighting until you are sure gas leaks are eliminated.
- Long life candles
- Waterproof matches or lighter
- AM/FM radio. Store at least three (3) sets of alkaline batteries for standard units. Inexpensive radios are available at many retail stores (i.e., Radio Shack, Walmart). The best radio is one that has rechargeable NI-cads built in, and may be charged with the built-in solar cell, or by cranking on a built in generator handle. A solar powered survival radio is available from TheEpicenter.com. We recommend this radio for your supplies in your car as well.
- Pen, pencil, and paper pad. Store in zip lock bag.
- Stamped postcards. Store in zip lock bags. Your house might be gone, but if you still have a mailbox, the mail will continue service. An easy way to stay in touch with family far away.
- List of important phone numbers, including your out of state focal
- Weather radio or police scanner. A bit expensive, but a weather radio is a must in tornado or hurricane country.
- Fire extinguisher - large 5-20 pound, type ABC
- Crow bar, 1 ft min.
- Leather gloves
- Multi-function pocket tool or knife
- Plastic tarp, 9x12 ft min
- Nylon rope, 100 foot (or Paracord)
- Duct tape
- A multi-purpose tool for shutting of gas and water main valves
- Portable generator. Make your selection based on what really needs to be powered and the run time of the model. Our recommendation is for a maximum size of 5 HP, 2250 Watt 120 vac only. To get a 230 vac generator will require an 8 HP motor, and your run time will drop in half. Typically, the only items in your house that will require 230 vac is an electric heating system, an electric water heater, or an electric range. What you really need to power is a refrigerator, a few lights, and a radio.
- Power converter for running 120 volt items from car battery.
- Portable chemical toilet and disinfectant crystals. Store in garage away from house. You will only need this if your dwelling is damaged, or if your water supply is limited.
- Toilet tissue rolls. Store inside portable toilet.
- Garbage bags. Can also be used as toilet liners.
- Pre-moistened towelettes
- All purpose liquid soap
- Tooth brush and paste
- Disposable razor
- Feminine hygiene items
- Latex gloves
- Gallon of disinfectant
Items for Baby (if needed)
- Baby formula and plastic bottles
- Large box disposable diapers
- Pre-moistened wet wipes
- Baby blanket and knit cap
- Two or three complete change of baby clothes
- One complete change of clothing for each person
- Emergency poncho
- Pair of boots each person
- Phone change. $6.50 in quarters fit in a plastic 35 mm film container nicely
- $50 cash minimum, in ones, fives, and tens
- Duplicate credit cards
- Photo copies of ID
- Spare checks
- Playing cards
- Spare keys
Prepare Your Car
- Always keep your gas tank full! Fill it when it reaches 1/2 a tank. You will thank yourself the first time you are stuck in a traffic jam in the dead of winter. (A few years ago in my home town of Seattle, a winter storm took us by surprise and crippled the city with abandoned vehicles. Most of them ran out of gas while waiting for accidents to be cleared from the roads.)
- Think of your car's trunk as a big steel supply cabinet. Keep your supplies in the trunk along with other items like tools, jumper cables and spare tire.
- Even if you are at home when a disaster strikes, and your home is well stocked, you may still need the supplies in your car. Your house may not be safe to enter, or may catch fire after a disaster like an earthquake (like many houses in Kobe or the Honshu District of Japan, or the Marina District of San Francisco).
- Your car will be one of your most important resources after a disaster strikes. Keep it mechanically sound, and pay close attention to the exhaust system. A leaking exhaust system could kill.
- Replace your battery every 2-3 years. In an emergency, your car battery will need to run the radio and heater for extended periods.
Have a mechanic check the following items on your car to keep it ready:
- Battery
- Antifreeze
- Wipers and windshield washer fluid
- Ignition system
- Thermostat
- Lights and flashing hazard
- Exhaust system
- Heater
- Brake
- Defroster
- Make sure the tires have adequate tread
Supplies to Store in Your Car
Components should be placed in a good quality backpack.
Store backpack in trunk of car.
- Emergency water rations. Six 4 oz minimum
- Food calorie bars (3600, 3-day recommended)
- MREs meals ready to eat, three minimum
- MRE chemical heaters, three minimum
- Emergency poncho
- Tube tent
- AM/FM radio with batteries (solar powered model recommended)
- Flashlight with batteries (wind-up dynamo crank models recommended)
- Matches or lighter
- Emergency blanket (aka "Space Blanket")
- First aid kit / medical supplies
- Can opener
- Multi-purpose pocket tool or camping knife
- Hand/body warming pads
- Iodine-based water purification tablets or giardia filter straw
- Multi tip screwdriver
- Pliers
- Leather work gloves
- Map of local area
- Phone change ($6.50 in quarters fit in a plastic 35 mm film container nicely)
- $50 cash, in ones, five's, and tens (keep locked in a safe location!)
- Two garbage bags
- Latex gloves
- Pen, pencil, and paper pad. Store in zip lock bag
- List of important phone numbers, including your out of state contacts (keep in a safe location)
- Rain gear and extra clothes
- Small sack of sand for generating traction under wheels
- Small shovel
- Booster cables
- Brightly colored cloth to use as a flag
Prepare At Work
- Read your company's evacuation plan! Note the designated meeting locations for after an evacuation.
- Each time you enter a room, take note of the exit routes and locations of fire extinguisher and medical kits.
- Note locations of stairways as you walk from location to location.
- Keep your own personal supplies in your desk in a single pack of some kind that you can access quickly. Along with your supplies, store a pair of walking shoes.
- Be sure you have composed a card to carry in your wallet or purse with important phone numbers including the number of your out of state phone contact.
- Keep the area under your desk free of waste-paper baskets and the like. This 6 square foot area might be home during a few traumatic moments.
- If you are not at your desk when something happens, don't count on being able to make it back. Store additional supplies in your car (see below).
Supplies to Store at Work
Take a look around your work site. You will find that state and federal regulations have required your employer to have fire extinguishers and first aid kits at key locations.
Some employers are beginning to place chemical light sticks and other emergency supplies in some areas as well, but you should probably plan for the worst. You need the supplies to be on your own for a minimum of three days. It may take you that long to get home, and don't count on your car being accessible especially if you park in a building parking structure.
TheEpicenter.com has several basic supply kits that are ideal for your desk/workplace. Items that you may want to consider to have on hand at work include:
- Emergency water rations
- MRE's - Meals ready to eat, or Coast Guard approved food rations
- Emergency blanket (aka "Space Blanket")
- Flashlight with extra batteries or chemical light sticks
- First aid kit / medical supplies

Hence why the ZFS filesystem layer is built on top of its volume management layer, and why you manage things like that using the zpool command, not the zfs command.
Hence why the ZFS filesystem layer is built on top of its volume management layer, and why you manage things like that using the zpool command, not the zfs command.
This is one of the things the Solaris-derived versions have tended to be better at handling - ZFS expects failing drives to be detected/managed by an external fault management service (fmd) which doesn't exist on other OS's. ZFS itself doesn't mark a drive as bad itself unless it outright disappears from the system.
- Mutable snapshots. It is infuriating that ZFS's snapshots are immutable.
Er, snapshots should be immutable. They're used as sources for backups and replication, allowing them to be mutable would defeat the main purpose.
zfs clone if you want a writable copy. What's wrong with that?
ZFS is designed for extremely high quality hardware (and lots of RAM) that doesn't lie to the OS
ZFS is designed to be robust in face of crappy lying disks. That's what all the checksumming and self healing is about - ZFS will cope *far* better with your dire consumer drives than most traditional filesystems. But yes, it likes its RAM, and it likes its redundancy.
That's only a very partial solution - vdev removal, not vdev shrinking. And it's got a pretty meh way of going about it (removing a vdev leaves a permanent layer of redirection in its place).
What we want is something called "block pointer rewriting", which would allow far more flexibility in the modification of an existing pool - possibly even dynamically changing RAID levels on the fly. Unfortunately it's a massive job that nobody's sufficiently interested in solving.
I loath wrappers though as they have a tendency to cost on perfomance an example is Civilization V on Linux is painful compared to windows on trhe same machine.
What makes you think this is the fault of the wrapper rather than just drivers being crap?
My gmail address gets used as a throwaway rather a lot, and you'd be surprised at the number of sites that don't bother at all.

Thanks so much for joining Pandora! We're very happy to have you on board, and we look forward to providing you with endless hours of great music listening and discovery.
Many more sites will still create the account and let you use it without me validating the email, and many more provide no means of saying this *isn't* their email.
Because a lot of security boils down to "I'm thinking of a number between 0 and $something, I bet an attacker can't guess it at a rate better than blind chance".
e.g. a 128 bit encryption key is a number between 0 and 340282366920938463463374607431768211455. With a secure random number generator, an attacker will have to on average test half of those possible keys before he finds the correct one, because he can't know anything that will reduce the space he has to search.
If your random number generator is broken - for an extreme example, say you only seed it with a 16-bit process ID - suddenly the random values you generate are trivially guessable, because there's only 65535 possible streams of randomness to check instead of $impossibly_huge_number. What should have taken longer than the age of the universe to crack now takes mere seconds.
Users who upgrade to 10 will have their default browser automatically changed to the new Edge browse
I upgraded and it gave me a clear screen showing the new defaults, and an option to keep my existing ones, which I chose.
After booting, MPC-HC was still my default video player, foobar2000 was still my default music player, and Opera was still my default browser.
Erm, "appending @@<version> to filenames".
DragonFlyBSD's HAMMERFS does much of this - you can examine the version history of files and directories using hammer history and undo commands, and reference versions directly by appending @@ to filenames.
You can control how long history is preserved for and in what level of detail, as well as efficiently replicate it all across the network to remote filesystems (which can have their own, different rules). All this in addition to the more traditional named snapshots approach you're limited to with, e.g. ZFS.
Their mobile client is open source: https://github.com/SpiderOak/S...
The desktop client is mostly unobfuscated Python bytecode and easily inspected, docstrings, symbol names and all, with a bytecode decompiler. Not good enough, but at least a bit more transparent than most.

It's not being used as a key. Key stretching would be pointless. You stretch to get a longer key if your goal is to derive a strong key
You want a strong key! Key stretching isn't just about making a physically longer key, it's about making a stronger one, such as by iterating your hash function a million times.
KDFs are for key derivation. That's why they're called key derivation functions. How is that hard to understand.
This is not in question. What is in question is why it's not exactly what you'd want out of a password hashing function - what difference does it make whether you're going to pass it to AES or to a comparison function?
Understanding is always the understanding of a smaller problem in relation to a bigger problem. -- P.D. Ouspensky

Ledyard — The rock in Bartlett Cove will remain crimson for at least another year.
Harvard University won the 149th annual Harvard-Yale Regatta on the Thames River on Saturday, extending the Crimson's streak to seven consecutive years.
With the victory comes the bragging rights: painting the large rock that juts out into the river from Bartlett Cove in Waterford in the school colors.
The race, steeped in history and tradition, is the oldest rivalry in American college sports, and for that reason carries a certain significance for both schools. "This is the best race to win," Harvard coxswain William Hakim said after the 4-mile upstream race, which Harvard won with a time of 19:32.3.
This year's regatta was even more significant for the Harvard squad as it was the first race since 1962 without legendary coach Harry Parker, who lost his battle with cancer just three weeks after the 2013 regatta.
"It's wonderful what we could accomplish this year for the obvious reason," Charley Butt, Parker's successor as coach of Harvard, said.
This week, Harvard unveiled a memorial to Parker at Red Top, the school's training facility on Military Highway in Gales Ferry.
On Saturday, alumni and visitors stopped to snap photos of the memorial and read the Parker quote emblazoned on a plaque.
Alumni, family members and other fans travel from across the country to attend the regatta. Harvard supporters gather at Red Top and the nearby boathouse, and Yale supporters congregate on the other side of the river at the rock in Bartlett Cove.
Among those taking in the race at the Harvard boathouse Saturday was Texas native John Mann Gardner, who said he has no connection to either side of the historic rivalry.
"I had been hearing about the race for years and then I started getting involved with the Harvard athletic department after the success their basketball team had," he said. "So here we are."
Less than a mile from Red Top is "the Ferry," Yale's training camp which sits in the midst of the close-knit residential neighborhood on Riverside Place.
Both Ivy League schools have maintained training facilities in Gales Ferry since the regatta was moved to the Thames River in 1878.
Riverside Place is undeniably Bulldogs territory: the Ferry and other buildings are painted Yale blue and white and in the middle of the street someone has painted "Go Yale Go" and the Yale rowing logo.
Across the street from the Ferry is Margo Sewall's red house. Saturday afternoon she gathered with friends and family on her porch to listen to the race on the radio and hope for a Yale victory.
"It's a red house," she said. "But we're blue and white all the way."
Indeed, for the week leading up to the regatta each year Sewall hangs a blue and white banner on the front of her house. "Row Well Yale," it reads.
"We support Yale any way we possibly can," Sewall said. "I feel lucky to live right across the street. They're really great neighbors."
Before moving to Riverside Place 36 years ago, Sewall had no allegiance to Yale, but has been a diehard Bulldogs supporter. In fact, her family has closer ties to Harvard.
"I don't admit to it too loudly, but my father went to Harvard," Sewall said.
Once and only once, Sewall said, she invited her father to watch the regatta with her. After a Harvard victory, he stood on her porch and sang the Harvard fight song at the top of his lungs.
"I had to disown him for that weekend," she said. "And I never invited him back for the race after that."
Sewall said she has seen the regatta change over the years. The Yale rowers seem to arrive a bit later and leave a bit earlier each year. The neighborhood used to be full of kids who thought of the Yalies as princes.
And though Yale has won just seven times in the 36 years she's lived on Riverside Place, the regatta will always be a great way to kick off the summer.
"It's a lot of fun to be part of this many regattas," Sewall said. "While I do wish Yale would win more often, even if they don't win we'll wait and hope for next year."

If you're looking for advice on that weekend away or a perfect dinner recipe, our bloggers have you covered! more
Turner syndrome, or Turner's syndrome, is also called monosomy X, 45X and Ullrich-Turner syndrome and affects only girls. Girls with Turner syndrome have an X chromosome that is either missing or abnormal.
Turner syndrome is a random genetic disorder.
Turner syndrome can result in heart defects, diabetes, high blood pressure, hearing problems, and infertility.
Turner syndrome is genetic and as such cannot be prevented.
Kids with Turner syndrome may have the following symptoms:
Treating Turner syndrome centres on managing the accompanying medical problems of the disorder. Surgery may be required to correct heart or organ defects. Medication can be used to replace missing hormones and bring about puberty. Girls with Turner syndrome tend to suffer from anxiety and depression more than girls without the disorder, so psychological counselling may be helpful.
Your doctor can help you diagnose and treat Turner syndrome. He can also refer you to the specialists who can provide the proper care for your child.

The aim of International Women's Day 2015 on Sunday 8th March is to encourage effective action for advancing and recognising women. This year's theme is Make it Happen, which echoes the spirit of the militant suffragette's motto of a hundred-years' earlier, 'Deeds not Words'; a call-to-action for disenfranchised British women. Two portraits of leading militant suffragettes, Emmeline Pankhurst by Georgina Brackenbury and her daughter Dame Christabel Pankhurst, painted by Ethel Wright, are currently on display in the twentieth-century galleries. …

A mansion in leafy Buckinghamshire is an odd place to find portraits of Florence Nightingale, since for much of her life after the Crimean War she was too ill to leave London. But by the 1880s she was sufficiently recovered to visit (with cats) her older sister Parthenope Verney at Claydon House. In the Rococo and Gothic glory of that house Florence had her own suite, and the privacy to work and to write.…

Article: Two Dimensional Yau-Hausdorff Distance with Applications on Comparison of DNA and Protein Sequences[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Comparing DNA or protein sequences plays an important role in the functional analysis of genomes. Despite many methods available for sequences comparison, few methods retain the information content of sequences. We propose a new approach, the Yau-Hausdorff method, which considers all translations and rotations when seeking the best match of graphical curves of DNA or protein sequences. The complexity of this method is lower than that of any other two dimensional minimum Hausdorff algorithm. The Yau-Hausdorff method can be used for measuring the similarity of DNA sequences based on two important tools: the Yau-Hausdorff distance and graphical representation of DNA sequences. The graphical representations of DNA sequences conserve all sequence information and the Yau-Hausdorff distance is mathematically proved as a true metric. Therefore, the proposed distance can preciously measure the similarity of DNA sequences. The phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences by the Yau-Hausdorff distance show the accuracy and stability of our approach in similarity comparison of DNA or protein sequences. This study demonstrates that Yau-Hausdorff distance is a natural metric for DNA and protein sequences with high level of stability. The approach can be also applied to similarity analysis of protein sequences by graphic representations, as well as general two dimensional shape matching.PLoS ONE 09/2015; 10(9):e0136577.

ABSTRACT: According to the WHO, ebolaviruses have resulted in 8818 human deaths in West Africa as of January 2015. To better understand the evolutionary relationship of the ebolaviruses and infer virulence from the relationship, we applied the alignment-free natural vector method to classify the newest ebolaviruses. The dataset includes three new Guinea viruses as well as 99 viruses from Sierra Leone. For the viruses of the family of Filoviridae, both genus label classification and species label classification achieve an accuracy rate of 100%. We represented the relationships among Filoviridae viruses by Unweighted Pair Group Method with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA) phylogenetic trees and found that the filoviruses can be separated well by three genera. We performed the phylogenetic analysis on the relationship among different species of Ebolavirus by their coding-complete genomes and seven viral protein genes (glycoprotein [GP], nucleoprotein [NP], VP24, VP30, VP35, VP40, and RNA polymerase [L]). The topology of the phylogenetic tree by the viral protein VP24 shows consistency with the variations of virulence of ebolaviruses. The result suggests that VP24 be a pharmaceutical target for treating or preventing ebolaviruses.DNA and cell biology 03/2015; 34(6). DOI:10.1089/dna.2014.2678 · 2.06 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: A novel clustering method is proposed to classify genes and genomes. For a given DNA sequence, binary indicator sequence of each nucleotide is constructed, and Discrete Fourier Transform is applied on these four sequences to attain respective power spectra. Mathematical moments are built from these spectra, and multidimensional vectors of real numbers are constructed from these moments. Cluster analysis is then performed in order to determine the evolutionary relationship between DNA sequences. The novelty of this method is that sequences with different lengths can be compared easily via the use of power spectra and moments. Experimental results on various datasets show that the proposed method provides an efficient tool to classify genes and genomes. It not only gives comparable results but also is remarkably faster than other multiple sequence alignment and alignment-free methods. Copyright © 2015.

Article: A measure of DNA sequence similarity by Fourier Transform with applications on hierarchical clustering[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Multiple sequence alignments (MSA) is a prominent method for classification of DNA sequences, yet it is hampered with inherent limitations in computational complexity. Alignment-free methods have been developed over past decade for more efficient comparison and classification of DNA sequences than MSA. However, most alignment-free methods may lose structural and functional information of DNA sequences because they are based on feature extractions. Therefore, they may not fully reflect the actual differences among DNA sequences. Alignment-free methods with information conservation are needed for more accurate comparison and classification of DNA sequences. We propose a new alignment-free similarity measure of DNA sequences using the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). In this method, we map DNA sequences into four binary indicator sequences and apply DFT to the indicator sequences to transform them into frequency domain. The Euclidean distance of full DFT power spectra of the DNA sequences is used as similarity distance metric. To compare the DFT power spectra of DNA sequences with different lengths, we propose an even scaling method to extend shorter DFT power spectra to equal the longest length of the sequences compared. After the DFT power spectra are evenly scaled, the DNA sequences are compared in the same DFT frequency space dimensionality. We assess the accuracy of the similarity metric in hierarchical clustering using simulated DNA and virus sequences. The results demonstrate that the DFT based method is an effective and accurate measure of DNA sequence similarity.Journal of Theoretical Biology 06/2014; 359.

ABSTRACT: A nonlinear Tracking-Differentiator is one-input-two-output system that can generate smooth approximation of measured signals and get the derivatives of the signals. The nonlinear tracking-Differentiator is explored to denoise and generate the derivatives of the walks of the 3-periodicity of DNA sequences. An improved algorithm for gene finding is presented using the nonlinear Tracking-Differentiator. The gene finding algorithm employs the 3-base periodicity of coding region. The 3-base periodicity DNA walks are denoised and tracked using the nonlinear Tracking-Differentiator. Case studies demonstrate that the nonlinear Tracking-Differentiator is an effective method to improve the accuracy of the gene finding algorithm.

ABSTRACT: A genome space is a moduli space of genomes. In this space, each point corresponds to a genome. The natural distance between two points in the genome space reflects the biological distance between these two genomes. Currently, there is no method to represent genomes by a point in a space without losing biological information. Here, we propose a new graphical representation for DNA sequences. The breakthrough of the subject is that we can construct the moment vectors from DNA sequences using this new graphical method and prove that the correspondence between moment vectors and DNA sequences is one-to-one. Using these moment vectors, we have constructed a novel genome space as a subspace in R(N). It allows us to show that the SARS-CoV is most closely related to a coronavirus from the palm civet not from a bird as initially suspected, and the newly discovered human coronavirus HCoV-HKU1 is more closely related to SARS than to any other known member of group 2 coronavirus. Furthermore, we reconstructed the phylogenetic tree for 34 lentiviruses (including human immunodeficiency virus) based on their whole genome sequences. Our genome space will provide a new powerful tool for analyzing the classification of genomes and their phylogenetic relationships.DNA Research 04/2010; 17(3):155-68.

Conference Paper: Numerical representation of DNA sequences based on genetic code context and its applications in periodicity analysis of genomes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The indispensable prerequisites in characterizing information content of DNA molecules by computational methods are the numerical representations of symbolic DNA sequences. Current numerical representation methods for DNA sequences do not contain the genetic code context information, which may play an important role in defining protein coding regions. We propose a novel numerical representation of DNA sequences based on genetic code context within DNA sequences and explore the feasibility of applying this method to identify protein coding regions in genomes. Computational experiments indicate that incorporating genetic code information into numerical representations is a promising approach in which DNA sequences are uniquely represented and more information is represented so that digital processing tools can be applied to the periodicity analysis in DNA sequences effectively.Computational Intelligence in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2008.

ABSTRACT: With the exponential growth of genomic sequences, there is an increasing demand to accurately identify protein coding regions (exons) from genomic sequences. Despite many progresses being made in the identification of protein coding regions by computational methods during the last two decades, the performances and efficiencies of the prediction methods still need to be improved. In addition, it is indispensable to develop different prediction methods since combining different methods may greatly improve the prediction accuracy. A new method to predict protein coding regions is developed in this paper based on the fact that most of exon sequences have a 3-base periodicity, while intron sequences do not have this unique feature. The method computes the 3-base periodicity and the background noise of the stepwise DNA segments of the target DNA sequences using nucleotide distributions in the three codon positions of the DNA sequences. Exon and intron sequences can be identified from trends of the ratio of the 3-base periodicity to the background noise in the DNA sequences. Case studies on genes from different organisms show that this method is an effective approach for exon prediction.Journal of Theoretical Biology 09/2007; 247(4):687-94.

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a new algorithm to predict protein-coding regions by tracking the 3-base periodicity of DNA sequences is presented. A nonlinear Tracking-Differentiator (TD) is explored to generate smooth approximation of the trajectories of the 3-periodicity of DNA sequences and compute the derivatives, based on which protein-coding and non-coding regions can be identified. Case studies demonstrate that the nonlinear TD is an effective method to improve the accuracy of the gene finding algorithm.Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Decision and Control 01/2006; DOI:10.1109/CDC.2006.377109

ABSTRACT: The 3-base periodicity, identified as a pronounced peak at the frequency N/3 (N is the length of the DNA sequence) of the Fourier power spectrum of protein coding regions, is used as a marker in gene-finding algorithms to distinguish protein coding regions (exons) and noncoding regions (introns) of genomes. In this paper, we reveal the explanation of this phenomenon which results from a nonuniform distribution of nucleotides in the three coding positions. There is a linear correlation between the nucleotide distributions in the three codon positions and the power spectrum at the frequency N/3. Furthermore, this study indicates the relationship between the length of a DNA sequence and the variance of nucleotide distributions and the average Fourier power spectrum, which is the noise signal in gene-finding methods. The results presented in this paper provide an efficient way to compute the Fourier power spectrum at N/3 and the noise signal in gene-finding methods by calculating the nucleotide distributions in the three codon positions.Journal of Computational Biology 12/2005; 12(9):1153-65.

The Next 50 Years: Experts See Increasing Black and Women Power and a Black President or Vice President
ASK any of today's pundits to look into their tea leaves and project what our world will look like in the year 2042 and you will hear a chorus of optimists singing about the dawning of a brighter day. These are not wide-eyed dreamers, but pragmatic men and women who see, even in the racial tension of modern times, concrete evidence that in the next 50 years America will not retreat much further from the battle against racism and oppression.
Many say, for example, that the gains Black Americans have already made in several critical areas provide a solid foundation for even greater feats in the coming century.
Take, for example, the world of politics where many say the gains that already have been made are tangible signs that more are likely to come. "Who would have thought a generation ago that we would have a Black governor of Virginia, a Black head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff...a Black president at the Ford Foundation and about 25 Black congresspersons," says Jack Greenberg, dean of Columbia University's Columbia College and former director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.
As more and more Blacks climb the ladder in the political arena, momentum is building for the eventual election of a Black president or vice president--a notion that seemed, unlikely at best, just a decade ago. "Most Blacks did not think that a strong run by an African-American was possible in the 1980s," says District of Columbia Congressional Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, "yet Jesse Jackson proved them wrong. There definitely will be a Black president or vice president in the next 50 years. African-Americans have learned that you only get what you strive for and we should continue to strive for one of the two top elected offices. We have earned it."
Not everyone, however, is convinced that current political gains will translate into a Black president in the next 50 years. Harvard University psychiatrist Dr. Alvin Poussaint, for example, says that it is far more likely that a Black man or woman will be selected for the second spot on the ticket. "I think, for instance, that it is possible within the next 10 or 15 years to have someone who is as widely accepted as Gen. Colin Powell as a vice president," he says. "I don't think we will have elected a Black president within the next 50 years, but I think there is a good chance we'll have a Black vice president."
Paving the way for a Black president or vice president is what many see as the lessening of racism, which some attribute to the diminishing presence of White Americans in the urban centers that remain the nation's cultural, intellectual and political hubs. While arguing that it is "never wise to underestimate the power of irrational racism," John Jacob, president and chief executive officer of the National Urban League, says racism is on the wane and may be diluted even more in coming years.
"If the past is any guide," Jacob says, "[racism] should continue to weaken, at least in its overt forms. The "browning" of America is leading to a smaller White population that must accommodate itself to the greater numbers of Black, Hispanic and Asian peoples."
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) makes the same point, saying: "The increasing diversity of America is inevitable. With more Blacks and other peoples of color, there will be a tilt in power...and Whites will be in the minority. It is in the best interest of White people to work harder to create better relationships with people of color so they can ensure themselves the equality that has eluded us."
Others, like NAACP Executive Director Benjamin Hooks, however, say racism may simply take a more ominous, though less obvious, turn in the next century. "I think that while there may be less overt racism 50 years from today, if present trends continue, there may be more racial isolation and racial polarization."
Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Studs Terkel, author of a new book on race relations (Race: How Blacks and Whites Think and Feel About the American Obsession) sounds an even more cautionary note: "If in 50 years there is as much racism as there is now, or even more than there is now, it would only prove that man is not at the top of the animal kingdom, but at the bottom of it . …
