Total sales volume increased again this quarter, rising by 20.54% - from $1,946,380,110 in 4Q15 to $2,346,165,660 in 1Q16 in this quarter. Median Sales price grew at 20.71% from $2,262,510 in 4Q15 to $2,731,210 in 1Q16 as the Median Price per square foot increased by 6.14% from $1,840 in 4Q15 to $1,953 in 1Q16. The following neighborhoods experienced the largest quantities of sponsor units sold in first quarter of 2016; Upper East Side, Midtown West and Greenwich Village. The sponsor sale with the highest price was observed in the Upper East Side, where 33 East 74th Street Unit PH3 sold for $31,000,000. The highest price per square foot was seen in Midtown East at 432 Park Avenue 67B which sold for $6,623.40 per square foot.

Market up-swings:
The highest quarterly market up-swing was seen in Midtown East where both the price per square foot and sales prices increased by more than any other Manhattan Neighborhood.

Live At The Wireless
8:00pm Monday 1 August
We're bringing you that mammoth Splendour set from FLUME, Live at the Wireless on Monday. Hear special guest performances from Remi, Vera Blue, Kucka and Jess Kent!
triple j has been at the forefront of the Australian live music scene since 1975. We've recorded thousands of local and international bands and our Live At The Wireless archive now rates as one of the best collections anywhere in the world. Whether it be at festivals, in stadiums or sweaty pubs, in our own studios or even on our rooftop, triple j has captured some of the best live music performances that have happened in this country.
Live At The Wireless airs on triple j on a Monday night at 8pm and is repeated on Sunday afternoons at 5pm. In recent years, our triple j tv team has joined us in shooting some of these concerts. Our online team too has been in tow snapping photos which we now house in our huge alphabetised galleries. Take a listen, have a look and see if you were there with us at any of these shows.
Ten years in to their recording career Grinspoon proved they could still rock hard with the release of their fifth long-player Alibis & Other Lies. And when they took the stage at triple j's AWOL concert in Innisfail they showed they were definitely still an indomitable live force! The band tore through their set packed with hits that had the entire crowd singing along.

NEW YORK -- Pitcher Shawn Chacon and the New York Yankees agreed Friday to a $3.6 million, one-year contract and avoided a salary arbitration hearing scheduled for next week.
The 28-year-old right-hander was acquired by New York from Colorado on July 28 and went 7-3 with a 2.85 ERA in 12 starts and two relief appearances. It was a startling turnaround for the former All-Star, who was 1-7 with a 4.09 ERA for the Rockies.
In addition to his salary, Chacon can earn $100,000 in performance bonuses: $25,000 each for 180, 190, 200 and 210 innings.
After making $2.35 million last year, he had asked for $4.15 million in arbitration and had been offered $3.1 million.
His agreement leaves the Yankees with a projected opening-day payroll of $195 million to $197 million, down about $10 million from their record-setting figure at the end of last season.

@MISC{Raban_ontologicalengineering, author = {Ryszard (Richard) Raban and Brian Garner}, title = {Ontological Engineering for Conceptual Modeling}, year = {}}
. In acknowledging the importance of ontologies in conceptual modeling, database integration and business process modeling, this paper introduces a set of principles for building ontologies. Starting from Guarino's meta-properties of ontological terms, the paper describes the denotational semantics of the meta-properties and derives from them some engineering rules and checks for constructing domain specific conceptual models, based on the overarching requirement to assign meanings to concepts using tags and labels. Parallel research by the authors into the use of contextual references and roles to restrict such meanings will be published elsewhere. 1

ISM manufacturing index shows growth but warning signs persist
The Institute of Supply Management has reported that manufacturing activity in July was basically flat compared to June.

Latest ResourceManaging Global Transportation: How NVOCCs can operate more profitably Global transportation isn't getting any easier to manage. With new rules and regulations to learn, new compliance requirements to adhere to, and new customers and business partners to onboard, navigating the complexities of the global market can be difficult for any company. To fully leverage their global supply chains, firms need a robust, global transportation management system that helps them navigate this ever-changing environment.
All Resources
The Institute of Supply Management (ISM) has reported that manufacturing activity in July was basically flat compared to June.
The index the ISM uses to measure the manufacturing sector, or PMI, was 55.5% in July, which is down from 56.2% in June, 59.7% in May, and 60.4% in April. Any reading that is 50 or better represents economic growth. July represents the 12th consecutive month that the PMI is more than 50, coupled with the overall economy on a growth track for 15 straight months.
Norbert J. Ore, chair of the ISM's Manufacturing Business Survey Committee said in a statement that the manufacturing sector continued to grow during July but at a slightly slower rate than June.
"Employment [58.6% in July compared to 57.8% in June] , supplier deliveries [58.3% in July compared to 57.3% in June] and inventories [50.2% in July compared to 45.8% in June] improved during the month and reduced the impact of a month-over-month deceleration in new orders [53.5% in July compared to 58.5% in June] and production [57.0% in July compared to 61.4% in June]," said Ore. "July marks 12 consecutive months of growth in manufacturing, and indications are that demand is still quite strong in 10 of 18 industries. The prices that manufacturers paid for their inputs were slightly higher but stable, with only a few items on the short supply list."
Other notable readings from the July report include: prices at 57.5% compared to 57.0% in June; backlog of orders at 54.5% compared to 57.0% in June, and customers' inventories at 39.0% compared to 38.0% in June.
Even though the PMI has been down for three straight months, Ore explained that overall the manufacturing sector is relatively healthy and not hindering the economy, despite signs of economic stagnation in recent weeks.
What needs to start happening outside of manufacturing, he said, is an increase in consumer spending and business investment in order for the economy to get going on all cylinders.
"Last month, consumer readings were not good, and that makes you worry a little bit about what is going to happen in the second half," said Ore. [Another thing] is second quarter Gross Domestic Product at 2.4% subject to revision. We expect the second half of this year to be not as strong as the first half, so a 2.4% second quarter GDP is worrisome heading into the second half of the year, particularly in regards to what the consumer is going to do."
When asked about the respective 5.0% and 4.4% declines in New Orders and Production in July, Ore said that the drop in New Orders—which is considered a leading indicator of the PMI—is not welcome news, due to the uneven economy. More strength in New Orders, as well as Production, going forward would be welcome in the coming months.
What's more, Ore pointed out housing has yet to make a full recovery, which is also weighing down New Orders and Production.
"It is a very mixed signal [on the economy] we are getting overall," said Ore. "If consumer spending picks up, we should be fine. If that does not happen, we will lack the driver for a sustained recovery."
And the 4.4% gain in inventory levels, shows that inventories continue to grow at a small rate but this jump, according to Ore, needs to be treated as just one month of growth. But he cautioned if there is another increase around the same size in August, inventories will need to be closely monitored and could reflect an "involuntary inventory build up" occurring at a time when consumers and businesses remain cautious with their spending.
Pricing in the PMI appears to have stabilized, falling to its current level of 57.5% compared to 77.5% as recently as May. This decline represents pricing power shifting back to manufacturers, according to Ore. If manufacturers were to start raising prices, he said it would raise the possibility of raw materials' inflation, and if prices were to dip, there would be deflation which Ore said would be worse.

Ah Boston, you ain't so bad, except for when it comes to the thought of actually living there, which, ugh, no. Our nation's most bro-friendly city gets a lot of flack from us New Yorkers, some of it deserved, some of it just being mean, some of it because it looks like their streets were laid out by a 5-year-old with a spirograph.
So whatever your thoughts on Boston are, here's a reason to be glad you don't live there: Much of the rent in the city is more expensive than Brooklyn's, according to this report in Metro. And with that 2am last call time, there's even less time to drink away your sorrows. (more…)

The invention relates to the field of connectors, and notably to the field of connectors for computers. It notably applies to multiprocessor environments.
The number of different types of printed circuits boards used for manufacturing a computer is increasing together with the requirement for advanced performance. The number of boards attached to a computer motherboard is thus increasing. This creates several types of problems. First, the physical size of computers increases, due to the number and volume of the different boards. Second, the number and length of signal lines on the motherboard increase; this creates routing problems and crosstalk. Third, the efficient cooling of the different boards is becoming increasingly complex and difficult to carry out.
These problems are notably encountered in multiprocessor environments. Computer performance is improving by using more and more sophisticated processors at high prices and/or by using complex implementations to gain a few percentage increase of bandwidth on DRAM or communication busses. It was therefore suggested to increase the number of processors running rather than increasing processor computation speed in order to greatly improve computer performance. Such a conventional multiprocessing system requires a large package and long signal lines. Further, since the multiprocessing system comprises a plurality of CPUs, it generates a large amount of heat compared to a single processing system.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of such a multiprocessor system, exemplified with three different processors. The multiprocessor system of FIG. 1, comprises three processor printed circuit boards or cards 1, 2, 3, each of which includes a CPU 4, 5, 6 and a cache memory 7, 8 or 9. Each processor circuit board is connected to a common processor bus 10. The common processor bus is also connected to a memory controller 12; this controller is connected to a memory 14, e.g. a DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory). Each processor accesses memory 14 through the common processor bus 10 and the memory controller 12.
Accordingly, the purpose of the invention is to provide a solution to the problems discussed above, without further complicating the structure of the different boards.
According to the invention, there is provided a bus, having:
at least two parallel bus lines,
at least two connectors, each connector comprising at least two bus-terminals each connected to one bus line, and at least one terminal not connected to a bus line,
one connector having a given pinout is the image of another connector having the same pinout in a rotation of 180 degrees,
an image in the rotation of a bus-terminal of said one connector is a bus-terminal of said another connector, and
a terminal of said one connector not connected to a bus line is electrically connected to the terminal of said another connector that is its image in the rotation.
Preferably, the image in the rotation of one given terminal having a given logic level is a terminal having an opposite logic level.
According to an embodiment of the invention, all terminals of a connector are on one side of the bus lines. The terminals may comprise power and ground terminals.
The invention also provides a circuit board, comprising:
a connector with at least two connector terminals;
switching means having connector-side terminals connected to said connector terminals, chip-side terminals, and a control input;
said switching means mapping the chip-side terminals to the connector-side terminals under control of said control input.
The control input is preferably connected to a connector terminal. The switching means may comprise two buffers, the terminals of each buffer being connected to the connector-side terminals and to the chip-side terminals, a signal received on said control input enabling either one of said two buffers.
The invention also covers a combination of a such computer board with a such circuit board.
It also provides a computer board with a bus having parallel bus lines and a least two identical connectors, and at least two identical circuit boards, each connected to one of said connectors, wherein one connector is the image of another connector in a rotation of 180 degrees, and wherein the circuit boards connected to said one connector and said another connector are relatively shifted or staggered.
Finally, the invention provides a process for routing signals on a motherboard to at least one circuit board connected in one connector of a series of identical connectors in alternate directions, comprising the steps of:
routing the signals along parallel bus lines to the connectors, thus changing the mapping of the terminals of the connectors to the bus lines between connectors in alternate directions;
switching the signals received on each circuit board according to the direction of the connector, so as to have an identical mapping of the switched signals to the bus lines, whatever the direction of the connector.
The direction of a connector may be determined in a circuit board according to the polarity of a given terminal of the circuit board connector; the step of switching preferably comprises:
storing the signals in a first buffer, in a given order;
storing the signals in a second buffer, in a different order; and
reading the signals from one of said first and second buffers.
A multiprocessor system embodying the invention will now be described, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which
FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a multiprocessor system;
FIG. 2 is a front view of the multiprocessor system according to the invention;
FIG. 3 is a view of a bus according to the invention;
FIG. 4 is a view of a card according to the invention, in a first position;
FIG. 5 is a view of the switching means of the card of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is a view of a possible connector pinout.
FIG. 2 is a front view of the multiprocessor system according to the invention; the multiprocessor system of FIG. 2 comprises elements similar to those of FIG. 1 and bearing the same reference numbers. The memory controller 12 is connected to the processor bus 10. Each processor circuit board 1, 2 and 3 is connected to the processor bus 10, and is arranged to be perpendicular to the processor bus.
According to the invention, and as explained below in reference to FIGS. 3 to 6, the circuit boards may be arranged on one side or the other of the bus; it is therefore possible, as depicted in FIG. 1, to limit the space used by the different circuit boards, by arranging the boards alternately on each side of the bus. In the configuration exemplified on FIG. 2, the first circuit board 1 is arranged on the right side of the processor bus, with the processor 7 facing the memory controller. FIG. 2 also shows the cooling unit 21 of the processor. The second circuit board 2 is arranged on the left side of the processor bus, with the processor 8 and the cooling unit 22 facing away from the memory controller. The third circuit board 3 is arranged like the first one. Reference numeral 23 identifies the cooling unit of the processor 9 of the third circuit board. Thus, the overall space used by the processor circuit boards is limited, even though the same boards may be used. In other words, in the structure of FIG. 2, the computer board comprises a bus having parallel bus lines and three identical connectors, and three identical circuit boards, each connected to one of said connectors; each connector is the image of the adjacent connector in a rotation of 180 degrees, and the circuit boards connected to the adjacent connectors are relatively shifted.
In the configuration of FIG. 2, voltage regulator sockets 24, 26 and 28 for the different processor boards are arranged on alternate sides of the processor bus, on the same side as the corresponding processor circuit boards. The structure of FIG. 2 has the following advantages. The distance between the successive socket assemblies on the processor bus can be reduced, the length of the bus can be shortened, and, finally, a package size of the multiprocessing system can be minimised. Furthermore, bus lines routing is straightforward, and the lines can have large line insulation, which reduces crosstalk. The CPU dedicated voltage regulators can be provided very close to each CPU, and consequently, signal line length between each CPU and each CPU dedicated voltage regulator can be reduced. Therefore, the voltage drop between the two can be reduced. Furthermore, the successive circuit boards constitute channels for airflow, so that the cooling of the different processors and voltage regulators is more efficient.
The staggered structure described in reference to FIG. 2 may be used not only for processor boards, but for any type of boards. It is particularly useful for boards that have significant thickness on part of their surface--such as processor boards, which have a cooling unit installed on the processor.
FIG. 3 is a view of a bus assembly according to the invention. The bus of FIG. 3 comprise a series of bus lines 301 to 30n, where n is the number of bus lines, e.g. n=64 in a usual computer configuration. These lines are parallel and are connected to a controller 32. The bus also comprises a series of connectors 341 to 34m, where m is the number of connectors, e.g. m=4 for a multiprocessor configuration. The different connectors have the same pinout; however, a given connector 34i is rotated through 180 degrees with respect to an adjacent connector 34i+1. FIG. 3 shows the centre of rotation A of the rotation that transforms connector 342 into connector 343 (and vice-versa). All connectors have the same pinout, and comprise a polarising key 35i that mechanically distinguishes the direction of a connector.
Each connector comprises a series of bus-sockets 36i,j, where 1≦i≦m and 1≦j≦n, each of which is connected to a different bus line. Each connector also comprises a series of sockets 38i,k, where 1≦i≦m and 1≦j≦p, that are not connected to a bus line. These sockets may for instance comprise power supply sockets, ground sockets, identifying sockets for identifying each connector, a reset socket for separately resetting a card connected to a given connector, etc. These sockets may be arranged as shown in FIG. 3 on one side of the bus lines; they may also be arranged on both sides of the bus lines, according to the needs.
According to the invention, an image in the rotation of a bus-socket of one connector is a bus-socket of the adjacent connector. In other words, the image in the rotation of the assembly {36i,j, 1≦j≦n} of all bus-sockets of connector i is the assembly {36i+1,k, 1≦k≦n} of all bus-sockets of connector i+1. Since there is only one invariant point in a rotation, this means that there exists at least one bus-socket connected to a given bus line, the image of which is not connected to the same bus line. In the case depicted in FIG. 3, the image in the rotation of bus-socket 36i,j is bus socket 36i+1,n+1-j : the image of a bus socket connected to a given bus line is therefore a bus-socket connected to a different bus-line.
On the other hand, a socket 38i,k that is not connected to a bus line, and its image the image 38i+1,k may very well be electrically connected, that is may have the same function, or be connected to the same line or plane of the board. This is indeed possible, since there is no constraint that the lines between all sockets not connected to the bus lines and their respective images be parallel.
In other words, according to the invention, in the rotation that transforms connector i into connector i+1:
each bus-socket is transformed into a bus socket connected to a different bus line;
each socket not connected to a bus line is transformed into a socket, to which it is electrically connected.
This means that the bus lines are parallel, and that the lines connecting the other sockets to their respective images are not parallel.
The bus described in reference to FIG. 3 is adapted to provide the structure described in reference to FIG. 2, with the cards or circuit boards described below. FIG. 4 is a view of a card according to the invention; such a card comprises a connector adapted to be connected to a bus connector; in the exemplified embodiment, the connector 40 is a pin connector adapted to be connected to the socket connector of FIG. 3. Connector 40 thus comprises n+p pins, and a recess 42 corresponding to the polarising key 35 of the socket connector. Out of the n+p pins, n bus pins, say bus pins 44h, 1≦h≦n are connected to the bus sockets 36 when the connector 40 is connected to the socket connector. The p other pins, say pins 46h, 1≦h≦p are connected to the sockets 38 when the connector 40 is connected to the socket connector.
The card of FIG. 4 may be connected to any one of the socket connectors of FIG. 3, and thus, one given bus pin 44h, 1≦i≦n may be connected to different bus lines, according to the socket connector in which the card is inserted. In the example of FIG. 3, bus pin 44h would be connected to bus socket 36h, and thus to bus line 30h or 30n+1-h, according to the socket connector. On the other hand, the pins 46h, 1≦i≦p of the card are connected to the same logical or electrical signal, whatever the connector into which the card is plugged.
In order to ensure proper operation of the card, whatever the socket connector into which it is plugged, the card comprises also switching means 48. The connector-side terminals 50h of the switching means are connected to the 44h of the connector, and the chip-side terminals 52h of the switching means 48 provide signals that may be used in the card, e.g. in a microprocessor chip. The switching means ensure that whatever the connector into which the card is plugged, the chip-side terminals of the switching means are correctly mapped to the bus lines. In other words, the switching means ensure that for any value h, 1≦h≦n, the chip-side terminal 52h of the switching means 48 are connected or mapped on the bus line 30h.
Thus, the card according to the invention may be plugged in any connector of the bus described in reference to FIG. 3: the switching means will in any case ensure a correct mapping of the chip terminals to the bus lines.
In the example given above, in a first connector 34i, socket 36j is connected to bus line 30j ; socket 36j is connected to bus pin 44j, that is connected to connector-side terminal 50j ; the switching means ensure that chip-side terminal 52j is directly connected to connector-side terminal 50j. On the other hand, in a connector 34i+1 arranged in the opposite direction, 36j is connected to bus line 30n+1-j ; socket 36j is connected to bus pin 44j, that is connected to connector-side terminal 50j ; the switching means ensure that chip-side terminal 52n+1-j is connected to connector-side terminal 50j. Thus, chip-side terminal 52n+1-j is correctly mapped to bus line 30n+1-j.
Switching means may be embodied and controlled in a plurality of ways. FIG. 5 is a view of a possible embodiment of the switching means. The switching means are controlled by the signal received on a given pin of the connector 40, say pin 46q, Sockets 38q and 38n+1-q are respectively connected to opposite logical levels, say level "0" for socket 38q, and level "1" for socket 38n+-q, In the case of a connector in a first direction, say connector 341 in the example of FIG. 3, pin 46q is connected to socket 38q, that is to "0"; thus, the switching means 48 receive a control signal that is a logical "0". In the case of a connector in the opposite direction, say connector 342 in the example of FIG. 3, pin 46q is connected to socket 38n+1+q ; thus, the switching means 48 receive a control signal that is a logical "1". This clearly makes it possible to command the switching means, according to the direction of the connector into which the card is plugged. Obviously, the switching means may be integrated in a chip, if necessary.
FIG. 5 simply shows how the switching means may, under control of the signal received on pin 46q, switch the connector-side terminal 50h either to chip-side terminal 52h or to chip-side terminal 52n+1-h, and respectively, terminal 50n+1-h either to chip-side terminal 52n+1-h or to chip-side terminal 52h As depicted on FIG. 5, pin connector 44h is connected to connector-side terminal 50h, and pin connector 44n+1-h is connected to connector-side terminal 50n+1-h. The control signal received on pin 46q is transmitted to a control input terminal 54. The signal received on control input terminal 54 is provided to an inverter 56.
The signal received on connector-side terminal 50h (respectively 50n+1-h) is provided to two buffers 58h and 60h (respectively 58n+1-h and 60n+1-h). The outputs of buffers 58h and 60n+1-h are connected to chip-side terminal 52h ; the outputs of buffers 58n+1-h and 60h are connected to chip-side terminal 52n+1-h. Buffers 58h and 58n+1-h are enabled by the signal provided on control input terminal 54, whereas buffers 60h and 60n+1-h are enabled by the signal output by inverter 56. The operation of the switching means of FIG. 5 is clear.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the switching means are operating in one direction only. They may be duplicated in order to ensure routing of the signals to and from the card; one may also provide other embodiments, e.g. a bidirectional buffer, or a switch. In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the signals of two sockets are used in order to control the switching means; there are other ways to control the switching means, e.g. two different pins of the connector 40 may be used, one pin only being connected to a given logical level, according to the direction of the connector.
FIG. 6 is a view of a possible connector pinout, according to the invention. FIG. 6 shows the bus lines 301 to 3016, a first card connector 62, with a control pin 64, corresponding to pinout 461, and a second connector 66, with a control pin 68, corresponding to pinout 461. As shown on FIG. 6, control pin 64 is connected to VCC, whereas control pin 68 is connected to ground, so as to ensure a correct mapping of the chip-side terminal of the switching means to the bus lines.
It is clear that the scope of invention not only covers the example described in reference to FIG. 3, where each connector is the image of an adjacent connector after a rotation through 180 degrees, but also other configurations, where some of the connectors are arranged in the same direction as the adjacent connectors: it is sufficient that at least one connector is the image of an adjacent connector in a rotation of 180 degrees. For instance, the scope of the invention covers the configuration where two connectors are arranged on one side of the bus lines, and where the two next connectors are arranged on the other side of the bus lines. It is also not necessary that all connectors have exactly the same pinout. One could imagine that two different types of connectors are provided on a given bus. The invention is also not limited to the exemplified pinout of the preferred embodiments described above.
Also, the invention was described above in the usual configuration where the bus connectors are socket connectors, and the circuit boards connectors are pin connector. It should be understood that the invention is not limited to this configuration, and that the usual types of edge connectors provided in the computer industry may also be used. The words "connector terminal" thus notably cover pins, sockets, edge lands and spring terminals adapted to mate with such lands.
Furthermore, it is clear for the person skilled in the art that the bus lines of the invention are parallel in that they do not intersect. This is the proper meaning in the invention of the word parallel; it is not necessary that the bus lines are "parallel" in the mathematical meaning of this word to ensure the advantages of the invention.

To Do With Love Lyrics
Artist: Hollies
Album: Distant Light
(Hicks / Lynch)
Next time I meet a girl, I won't ask her her name
Or where she's been, or where she came from
The last time I found love it only brought me pain
The problems almost took me over
I was washing up for mother, I was lighting pipes for papa
And fetching water
And that's got nothing at all, that's got nothing at all
To do with love
Next time I meet a girl
I won't tell her my name
Or where I've been
Or where I came from
I'll take a hold of her
And love her just the same
No need to mention past acquaintances
I just want someone to love me
And someone to like the presents
That I bought her
'Cause that's got something to do
Yes, that's got something to do
To do with love
Each girl I meet comes up wronger
And I can't take it all much longer
No, I can't no

MINDING THE BOMB -- A special report.
Nuclear Arms Builders Shift Role From Developers to Care-Takers
By WILLIAM J. BROAD
Published: January 6, 1997
The Federal Government is shifting from developing nuclear arms to maintaining stockpiles in good condition and using computer simulations and other advanced techniques to insure their potency.
But it will cost $40 billion over the next 10 years to do this, which is more than the average annual spending on warhead production during the cold war. And a fierce debate is under way over whether this transformation is too much or too little.
The new program was given a go-ahead on Dec. 19 by the Energy Department after years of planning and preparation by the Clinton Administration.
The Government says its aim is to understand and fix any flaws that might arise in the 10,000 or so warheads that constitute the nation's nuclear arsenal and thus, despite aging, make sure they can work in the decades ahead.
For nuclear bomb makers, who lost power and prestige at the end of the cold war, the costly program is a new lease on life and the source of excitement, as well as anxiety.
The program has come under heavy criticism even as Congress has begun to finance some of its early stages.
Liberals charge that bomb designers are getting far more than they need as a payoff for supporting the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, a holy grail of arms controllers.
At the urging of the United States, the United Nations on Sept. 10 endorsed an international ban on the exploding of nuclear arms, which is now up for ratification by the nuclear powers.
For bomb designers, the test ban ends the traditional way of checking the reliability of nuclear arms.
On the other hand, conservatives charge that the Clinton Administration is failing to do enough to guarantee the integrity of the nuclear stockpile, saying some warheads are showing signs of erosion and decay.
The weapons program is run by the Energy Department, which created and oversees the nation's nuclear arsenal.
Officials there reject the criticisms and insist that the new program is a prudent if costly step into unexplored territory.
''We're moving into an area of significant unknowns,'' Dr. Victor H. Reis, the program's architect and the Assistant Secretary for Defense Programs at the Energy Department, said in an interview. ''We just don't know what will happen to the weapons over time, because they will be used way beyond their design lifetimes.''
Making and learning to use the new diagnostic tools is expected to take about a decade. Eventually, the weapon scientists plan to use them to mimic different facets of bomb performance, relying on powerful computers to tie together a whirl of information in what will become the ultimate test: computer simulations of nuclear blasts.
''The ground never shakes,'' Dr. James A. Mercer-Smith, a bomb designer at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, said in an interview. ''That's part of the new rules we're playing by. One could argue that we're no longer doing experimental science.''
But he waxed enthusiastic at the prospect. ''The thing scientists enjoy most is doing something that's never been done before,'' Dr. Reis said, adding that the new work ''increases the interest and makes it an enormous scientific challenge.''
He drew an automotive analogy to illustrate the difficulty of the job. ''It's like wanting your car to last forever and never having a chance to drive it,'' he said. ''But you want it to start the first time you try.''
Dr. Reis said the department needs the new tools to diagnose and repair such ills of aging nuclear armaments as bumps, gaps, cracks, chips and corrosion in a wide variety of materials, problems that could turn a deadly weapon into a dud. ''The nuclear weapons program was a race with Soviets,'' he said. ''Now we're racing with Mother Nature.''
Nuclear arms in the stockpile now have an average age of about 13 years. In 2005, the average will be 20 years, the planned lifetime of many modern warheads when they were designed. And the oldest weapons will be about 35 years old. During the cold war, old nuclear armaments were regularly retired and replaced. Now they are expected to last indefinitely, as worn-out pieces are gradually replaced.
The Beginning
Growth of Tests Set Off New Fears
From the beginning of the nuclear era, bomb inventors repeatedly test-fired their weapons. The thundering blasts or, on occasion, the awkward silences, were unambiguous checks on complex calculations and workmanship. Verifying a new weapon design required a half dozen or so large test explosions, while improving safety took still more. And bombs in the nation's stockpile were also exploded occasionally to test their reliability.
As the cold war progressed and the number of nuclear arms and tests soared, critics began to assert that the superpowers were caught in a dangerous and costly spiral of atomic move and countermove. The best way to end the arms race, they asserted, was to ban nuclear testing, which they hoped would stop nuclear weapons evolution.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower proposed a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty in 1957, and antinuclear activists cheered the plan. But American designers of nuclear arms fought it, saying a ban threatened to favor the Soviets if they cheated and surreptitiously pulled ahead of the West.
But as the cold war ended, far-reaching arms control agreements were reached, and the American arsenal was cut to 10,000 nuclear warheads from 21,000.
The last American underground nuclear test was set off beneath the Nevada desert in September 1992. Washington gave up the practice voluntarily as part of an emerging global moratorium.

From trucking to welding — moms take jobs that pay the bills
Shannon Brooks Hamby, Climb Wyoming director of communications
Irene Montoya is a truck driver, and she loves it.
The 35-year-old from Cheyenne, Wyoming, likes making short hauls through beautiful places like Steamboat Springs, where the landscape is so breathtaking and peaceful that she can't believe she's getting paid to drive it. And she likes it when kids in passing cars gesture for her to blow her horn — which she usually can't resist.
Most of all, she likes that her job pays well — well enough for her and her 4-year-old son to live in a nice condo, to have a new car, to see the doctor and dentist when they need to. Three years ago, she was unemployed and struggling to support her child, and she contacted CLIMB, a job training program for low-income single moms that helped her get her commercial driver's license and land a job. Now, she and her son "live like civilized people," as Montoya says.
Government job placement programs have weak results. In the last quarter century, the U.S. has had more than 50 federal training programs, but unemployment rates have continued to struggle. Employment went up about 1 percent last year, but the economy continues to lag, and the number of unemployed in the U.S. is 10.5 million, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Nine federal agencies spent approximately $18 billion annually for employment and job training programs, according to a 2012 Government Accountability Office report, but "little is known about the effectiveness of most programs," according to the report.
One placement program in Wyoming is successfully finding work for women like Montoya by training and placing them specifically in jobs that are in demand in the local economy. In a state like Wyoming, that means that mom is driving a truck, a forklift or firing up a welding torch. The payoff is that single moms have skills that are in demand — and allow them to successfully support their families, not just scrape by.
Flipping burgers to bringing home the bacon
Montoya wasn't working when she first contacted CLIMB Wyoming. She'd had other jobs before, mostly in fast food and bars, but she was getting out of a bad relationship and trying to care for her son, who was then just over a year old.
She saw a flier for CLIMB at family services that said they were training for commercial driver's licenses, and she thought to herself that she had never wanted a desk job, she had always liked "getting out in the dirt." Besides, she knew that she wasn't going to support her family by going back to flipping burgers.
"It was nontraditional, and I had been waiting for something like that," she says. "I had to do that for me and my son — so I did it."
Montoya's situation represents many women in Wyoming, where 43 percent of single mothers and their children live in poverty. Nationwide, 62 percent of employed mothers work in low-skill retail and service jobs that usually offer poor pay, little or no benefits, have little flexibility and are susceptible to cutbacks.
In demand
As a business liaison for CLIMB, it's Val Arias' job to find work for women that provides more than a poverty wage.
The state of Wyoming projects that in the next 10 years, job growth will demand 27 percent more commercial truck drivers, 22 percent more welding positions, 18 percent more health and technology jobs and 17 percent more nursing assistants. Arias crunches job report data like this and sets about building relationships with local businesses that might hire her graduates. Then, CLIMB builds training courses around those opportunities, usually in small classes of no more than 10 students.
Montoya completed a 12-week CDL training and certification, which, along with welding training, are ongoing mainstays of CLIMB's training and placement. One of CLIMB's newest offerings is training for warehouse inventory management and forklift operation positions.

FDA-TRACK launched for public and staff to track success on benchmarks
The Food and Drug Administration is now publicly tracking dozens of agency performance measures on 40 online dashboards in its new FDA-TRACK initiative that went live Aug. 31.
The FDA-TRACK dashboards launched in beta format in April with more than 100 agency program offices reporting on individual and agencywide benchmarks, but many of the dashboards reported that incoming data was not yet available. To date, a significant portion of the FDA dashboards continue to indicate that specific information is not yet available for certain measures. However, data is starting to flow.

The performance measures will be established each year and data will be gathered monthly and posted on FDA-Track and presented each quarter to senior leadership, according to an Aug. 31 news release. The goal is to provide transparency for both the public and for FDA employees and managers, the release said.
"FDA-TRACK will bring the operations of this historically opaque Agency into the daylight and help us be even more responsive as we work to protect the public health," FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said.
Two of the dashboards monitor agencywide measures, such as FOIA requests and the number of employees trained in incident command for emergencies.

After sending the STOP signal to a process, it stops working as expected, but still accepts TCP connections. So is it working anyhow?
Once a Unix process binds an IP address and port to a stream socket, the kernel begins accepting TCP connections for that address/port and continues until the socket is unbound or closed. The process gains access to the connections via the accept() system call, but the connections are happening regardless. Beyond the initial TCP handshake, the connection is idle until accept() is called and the process start to use the connected socket.
So connections are occurring but there isn't any real activity (mail being sent, web pages being served, etc.) while the process is stopped.

Man At Romney Rally Wears Mindblowingly Offensive Shirt
The Getty Images photo was taken at a Romney/Ryan campaign event in Lancaster, Ohio on Friday. A Romney spokesperson commented that the shirt was "reprehensible and has no place in this election."

Number of feds teleworking increased by 11,046 from 2008 to 2009
More than 10 percent of eligible federal employees now telework, according to the Office of Personnel Management's annual Status of Telework Report sent to Congress.
The report's release Feb. 17 coincides with Telework Week and follows on the heels of the Telework Enhancement Act, which was signed into law in December 2010 and requires federal agencies to improve their use of telework as a strategic management tool.
OPM's report reveals that the number of agency-reported teleworkers increased by 11,046 from 2008 to 2009. It also shows that about 6 percent of all federal employees telework.

The report indicated an overall rise in telework interest and use. For the first time, OPM also included data that employees reported directly through the Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey. According to that survey, about 22 percent of federal employees telework to some extent, often through unwritten, ad hoc arrangements between employees and their supervisors.
The survey also shed light on statistical differences between teleworkers and nonteleworkers. For instance, employees who telework report higher job satisfaction than those prevented from teleworking (76 percent vs. 68 percent), and employees who telework are more likely to recommend their organization as a good place to work (75 percent vs. 66 percent).
"Improving the use of telework is a high priority for President Obama, Congress and OPM," OPM Director John Berry said in a press release. "The new telework law and this report reinforce that increasing the strategic use of telework will help the federal government improve resiliency and achieve continuity of operations in emergencies, reduce management costs, and help our employees to manage their own work and life obligations."
The same day it released the report, OPM hosted a meeting with all the agencies responsible for implementing the new telework law, including the Office of Management and Budget, the General Services Administration, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Archives and Records Administration.
OPM said it will highlight telework in several ways in the next few months. By the end of March, OPM will issue telework policy guidance to agencies, and it will convene a meeting of agency telework management officers in April.
Officials added that they will issue a data call later this year to collect information on 2010 telework statistics.
