Connecting Classrooms Program
Palomar Coffee Talks invites teachers and students to participate in this integrative learning project. Pablo Picasso famously described art as, "A lie that reveals the truth." We offer performances and public gatherings that provide an occasion to analyze aspects of our society and the human condition from the multiple perspectives provided by differing academic disciplines. For the Fall of 2015, we are focusing on two questions raised by Bertolt Brecht's provocative play THE GOOD PERSON OF SETZUAN: What does it mean to be a 'good' person? Is it possible to be good and stay good in our society?
Ways of participating include but are not limited to:
• Add your class to the list of participating by clicking here..
• Join us for our Coffee Talk on October 8th following the 4PM performance of The Good Person of Setzuan.
• Offer extra credit for attending the Coffee Talk and or a performance.
• Commit to at least one class discussion on the two questions and how they relate to your discipline.
• Create some expression of the discussion that can be shared with other participants on our website, facebook, twitter feed #goodperson, or Right Here On Campus (see next bullet).
• Contribute your expressions to a sculptural display at the entrance to the theatre in the Performing Arts Courtyard.
• Some possibilities:
o What is a good person? – in eight words or 144 characters. Make lots of these.
o Characterize the discussion in 8 words or 144 characters. Make several of these.
o Share a simple statement or conclusion that came from the discussion. Whole class or small groups.
o Generate a list of related questions specific to your discipline.
o Describe, express or articulate some of the pressures to act 'badly' or questionably that you have experienced. Individual or small groups.
o Help us create a site-specific public art piece in the Performing Arts courtyard – that will evolve throughout the semester.
o Share a response on our Tumblr page. Words & Images accepted.

AbstractAn aircraft of today has many moving parts that are subjected to high wear conditions; naturally this puts a high demand on the reliability. The need for new coatings and approaches that improve the wear resistance is clear. Furthermore, a need for smart materials where lifetime indicators can be incorporated is a logical next step in the evolution of coatings. This SBIR proposal suggests an advanced vapor deposition process that can be used to deposit materials combinations that have a high wear resistance as well as a measurable lifetime. The process is suitable for aircraft components with non-line-of-sight areas, such as interior surfaces of pipes or even more complex shapes. The proposal further suggests a combinatorial selection process for the materials combinations that can optimize the compatibility with the substrate material as well as optimizing the wear resistance of the coating. By measuring easily accessible physical properties of the film during maintenance intervals for the aircraft component it will be possible to determine the useful lifetime for the remaining wear resistant film and arrange for replacement prior to failure.

Customer Reviews
Inconsistent physics can be annoying
This is a fun game, but the physics are a little suspect. I've lost far too many streaks because the wind strength wasn't consistent with the number being assigned to it.
Example: I'll make one shot at 1.96 wind speed with a light hook to one side. Then on the next shot, the wind strength will say 2.11. I will apply the same amount of hook as on my first shot, but my paper will suddenly ignore the wind physics, and it will strictly follow the trajectory of my hook shot (like a ball of lead) and will end up landing somewhere far away from the trash can.
This happens all the time, and it's really frustrating. It's honestly the only thing preventing me from spending money on this app to remove the ads.
Love this game!!! By Jasmine =-P
Great game. I love it. You can trow the paper ball (or whatever you have got equipped at the time) at your co-workers and agrivate them! If you have the volume on then some will yell at you! When you throw your ball into the trash can you get paper points which will be used to buy other things to throw such as watermelons, tomatoes, burning balls, grenades, staplers, ect. If there is another item like a mug or in some cases a treasure chest, you will get extra points. There is a fan that you must calculate where to throw your ball. The game tells you how fast the fan is blowing and in what direction.
Really addicting
First off it's really addicting, i opened the app then next thing I knew I'd been playing for 30 minutes and had a whole bunch of the throw able items. What's really nice is the fact you can very easily build up points to buy the items/power ups with out the game forcing you to use real money. That's a huge bonus, nothing much more to say but simple, addicting fun.

Need a person whos good at computers
Who can tell me the difference between an AMD processor and a Celeron or Intel Processor. Which is better in terms of gaming. What is a good MND processor.
Thanks in advance.
Welcome to the forums Ocelot! :waive1:
AMD processors are regarded as the better processor for gaming these days. And AMDs are definitely cheaper than Intel processors. I think if you figure out the MHz of the two chips, according to an article I read, the AMD with the same speed as the P4 chip was half the price.
I think that intel chips are probably better all-around and have better structure, but a lot of gamers prefer AMD.
And I think you should avoid the Celeron overall.
Thanks, that helps alot!
Is there a gaming difference between a AMDturion 64 and a AMD Sempron 3300
ok crash course in this.... Intel has more ghz than AMD but AMD has more bus(its the speed that connects your RAM and other stuff to your proccesor) on average a intel has 800 bus and a AMD has 2000. i prefer Intel but my next comp im getting AMD becuase you have to mix up life! hope this helps. o and the best AMD is teh athlon 64 i think or am i wrong(havent looked at this stuff for months) but the most important thing is the graphics card i prefer the 7600 256mb it will run very well on most if not all pressecors. if you do get an Intel get the D with 3 ghz or the 3.2 or if you really want to get a sweet comp get the 3.78ghz thats alot of speed....hope that all helped you out
THX Popcorn
Perhaps someone would know if this could run EAW smoothly
Anyone, I need to know please, im going to buy one in a day or two
Although I don't like Compaq, and I prefer Intel, I think that PC would run EaW fine.
well on low yes the graphics card isnt to great and its integrated which means it slower than buying the some one and putting it in. i would recommend getting 1 gig of ram and a nvidia 6600 512 i have a comp that is similar to that doesnt run very well with most games(havent tried EAW on it yet) but thats just me (im used to speed on my new comp so dont trust me to much lol) but for the price its ok
Its a fine PC - especially the fact you can upgrade the RAM to 4GB. The only problem - in the future, is that you will only really be able to use Nvidia graphics cards as the motherboard on this PC is the Nvidia chipset. Not a bad thing.
Just remember when you get it to update all the drivers! (my current catch phrase!) lol
On DMUK's tombstone it'll say:
"Have you updated your drivers yet, people?!?"
THX Guys, i have made my decision.
I don't know...integrated stuff never sounds good. It might be good for your budget, but from what I can read from your link, both the video card and sound card are integrated. Yes, you can probably upgrade later and ditch the previous things but anyway.
One thing you must remember is that out-of-the-box, this computer is only decent. You will not be able to play newer video games on max settings and have great performances.
Considering your budget, it might be excellent for you to start with this and fiddle with it later on.
On a side note, it is possible to buy yourself a nifty computer if you're smart and you know what you're doing without going over your budget. I've made some calculations and with recycled elements from my current computer, I could afford a 700$ CAN (about $630 US) upgrade that would bring it from crap to close to top-of-the-line.
Sound is not the biggest issue and I do intend on buying a new video card its just that my computer is busted and im looking for onw that I can get for cheap and work on later. But preferably one that is alright so it doesnt need to be upgraded immediately
What kind of computer do you have and what upgrade?
Just wondering.
A very old thing I'm ashamed of showing :(
Truth is, the only upgrades I've done over 3 years are sound card and hard drive. They cost me right under 200$ CAN for a very good upgrade. Then again, I put a lot more importance into sound then most people. Got to have decent 5.1 surround sound :)
The primary components are still old. If you're interested, my old AMD Athlon 2000+ is still working wonderfully well. I only need to upgrade my graphics card (currently ATi Radeon 9000 PRO) to bring it a notch closer.
However, what stops me is basically the need of a new and decent motherboard. With a new motherboard, I'll need a new processor and hell, I don't want to upgrade slowly over time. With Uni coming up next September and the possible need of a laptop, I'll have to wait...
AMD processors are better mainly because of their instruction sets, architecture, and better power consumption though.

Review: 'The Office' - 'The Inner Circle': The rise and fall of Deangelo Vickers
A review of last night's "The Office" coming up just as soon as I summarize the plot of my series of young adult novels...
I really want to give "The Office" a mulligan for this one. The sense I get is that Will Ferrell was more or less forced on the show, and you could see the last couple of episodes struggling to keep Deangelo out of the way so we could focus on Michael's farewell. So if you just want to pretend that this episode doesn't count, and that the post-Carell era begins for real next week - and that it's not fair to begin the instant "Toldja so!"s about how the show should have ended when Carell left, not until we see at least an episode or two not driven by stunt-casting - then I won't blame you.
But this? This was not good.
Deangelo gets his fourth personality in four episodes, perhaps with shades of earlier ones (particularly his first appearance), but still suggesting that at no point was there any kind of plan for this guy beyond, "Hey, it's Will Ferrell; he'll make it funny." Two weeks ago, Deangelo suffered from crippling stage fright in circumstances where he wasn't making a formal work presentation; here, he can't wait to mime an elaborate juggling routine - that just went on and on and on and on - for the entire staff. Last week, he seemed grossly incompetent, unqualified and borderline crazy, and even Jim could tell something was wrong; yet here Jim was defending Deangelo's sexist, elitist, obnoxious inner circle gatherings to Pam by insisting Deangelo is really good at his job.
Even within the context of "The Inner Circle," I never felt like the writing was committing to a point of view on the character. Had it been the story of the staff trying to deal with an utter lunatic being given the captain's wheel, that might have worked. And it might have worked if Deangelo had seemed relatively normal throughout his tenure, slowly revealing little cracks in his persona that only Pam noticed and the others refused to believe until it was too late. This was neither fish nor fowl, and pretty much all of it(*) was uncomfortable to watch. And the resolution to the whole thing was, like the end of the Todd Packer episode, a case of the punishment not coming close to fitting the crime; Deangelo was a sexist and a bully, but sending him off by apparently giving him brain damage was cringe-worthy, not funny.
(*) A couple of small exceptions: I liked Dwight, having rediscovered his loyalty to Michael, and still resenting that he didn't get the job, adamantly refusing to suck up to Deangelo. And much as I hated most of the inner circle stuff, Kevin's glee at finally being one of the cool kids was amusingly-played by Brian Baumgartner.
And like I said last week, the fact that the writers so clearly had no idea what to do with Ferrell doesn't fill me with confidence for whatever guest stars turn up in the final episodes - nor do I feel especially great right now about the idea of an outside character coming in as the permanent new regional manager. The show may not have wanted Ferrell, but at some point they should have figured out something good to do with him. If the new boss gets hired in the same way - pick an actor, worry about a character later - this will be another, longer-term mess. If, on the other hand, the writers come up with a character first, then find an actor to fit the part (tweaking the role a bit as needed to fit their choice), then we'll see. But a repeat of the Deangelo experience will just prove everyone right who didn't want to see the show continue without Michael.
Some other thoughts:
• Kind of funny to see how quickly the show was able to throw together a new main title sequence - and one that'll have to be changed again next week to remove Deangelo - given how long it took "House" to ditch its opening credits featuring Jennifer Morrison so prominently. In terms of credit order, they just bumped everybody up one spot this week; if the show comes back next year and a veteran character other than Dwight is the boss, I wonder if that actor will get first billing, or they'll keep it this way based on seniority.
• I really disliked the Kelly/Ryan subplot. The current iteration of Ryan is such an ass that he can be funny in small doses, but anything beyond that becomes unpleasant. Had the goal of that story been for Kelly to finally wash her hands of him once and for all, that might have worked, but we came right up to the edge of that and then the story just... stopped.
What did everybody else think?

if you do try it, realize that the sprayfoam expands a considerable amount before it dries...but like Zippy said the problem lies in foam density, the sprayfoam that they are using for home insulation is nowhere near as dense as the foam in your surfboard. You can push your finger right through it.

Hey Koki, thanks for the note... the thing is that this stuff he left me... I punch it with a decent amount of force and I barely leave knuckle impression in it.... as a matter of note... my knuckles actually feel pain.. the stuff is hard. I cant break or squish it. I dont know if its proprietary to the this company or not but if I do go about giving it a try I will try to get the stuff they use.

I might just try that. But maybe with a skimboard or something. And maybe use craft plaster instead of paper mache.

The stuff they use to insulate houses is definitely stronger than the spray foam like great stuff they sell at the hardware store. I used some to fill in a missing piece of foam on a bic board that I picked up to use as a summer beater board. It has held up for several years now and I have let it get smashed on shore break a lot. It is a little more protected being on a bic board then on a more traditional style glassed board. I still think you should give it a shot. Worst case scenario you only get one session out of the thing.

Koki, you may be thinking of Great Stuff spray foam. You're right, that's not as dense. The stuff they use in house wall cavities is much more dense and ends up being more the density of those solid foam insulation panels when it's cured.
Yes, Zippy-' + '-it is poly based but there are also some products that use more natural ingredients.
Cool stuff, expensive as all get out and I would never use it in a surfboard. Plus, my favorite insulation is the blown-in recycled newspaper and denim. It's more fire retardant than the foam stuff.

This stuff would not work. There is a reason why Clark Foam, US Blanks, Walker, etc. try to keep their formulas a secret. This stuff is just a basic polyester foam, which you can buy in a 2 part mixture from most fiberglass suppliers. With making blanks its all about controlling certain factors to yield a blank suitable enough for a surfboard.
\nFirst off building a mold without anything other than rebar reinforced concrete is asking for trouble. There was a huge argument last month on Swaylocks with a guy trying to do this same exact thing. He built his with fiberglass and made a metal skeleton around it. A lot of guys, even the gurus of the industry said he was nuts. WHen you see the molds that the blank companies use you will understand why it has to be concrete. Blowing foam in wall sections is one thing, but placing it in an air tight mold the amount of pressure created will explode the mold. This is something you don't want to be around when it does, the early blank makers found that out the hard way with clamps exploding & flying all over the room.
\nSecond this foam will most likely have a lot of voids & air pockets in it which is unacceptable for shaping. This was a problem in early foam blanks & they now use a special paper that they line the molds with to prevent such air bubbles from occurring.
\nIt is always going to be cheaper, easier, & cleaner to just buy a blank from the guys that already have it figured out. Its definitely a cool idea but one that just would be too dangerous & expensive in the end to do.

if you do it make sure it is a closed cell foam. open cell absorbs water worse than a surfboard blank. With closed cell foam water absorbtion is non existant. You should see what it looks like when you have to remove open cell foam from a wall cavity or basement after a flood. you can wring it out like a dish sponge.
Density of closed cell foam is about 2 to 3 pounds per cubic ft dependent on the mix which you have to do your self, it degrades very fast when exposed to UV light and you need a face shield and a respirator when you spray it. it is not something you want in your eyes on your skin or in your lungs. the smallest kit you can buy is 20 board feet which is 20 sq ft at 1 inch thick. it is not made to be injected into an enclosed cavity because of the expansion. but that pertains to blowing out drywall.
what you could do if you decide to insulate with foam( which is a great insulating and airsealing material by the way) is have a mold ready and when they come do the install have the professional inject some into the mold. they probably wouldn't charge you. use something stronger than paper as the mold.

the sample this guy left me does not seem like something that couldnt be used.... its hard, it floats, the cut sample doesnt not show any voids in the body and it doesnt absorb water... so I guess its closed cell. also the video samples are showing them putting it into closed chambers with no ill effects...
I really think Im going to see about trying this when I get the time(which means I might never do it!)... could be a fun project. I'd have to find someone to glass it for me though!!!

The wall section they are putting the foam in is not closed, because there is the hole in the wall in which they place the hose through giving an outlet for foam & gases to escape. Another thing to keep in mind is the density of the foam throughout. In surfboard blanks the farther you go into the core of the foam the softer it gets. Although this foam may be hard on the outside, the more you start to shape the foam it could reveal a soft core. Not trying to be negative just trying to give some information to better help you understand the process.

SprayFoam and Surfboards??? shapers???
So... after Sandy wrecked everyone's place in my neighborhood we were flooded with contractors and sales reps for all sorts of home rebuilding stuff and one thing some sales rep showed up with stuck in my head..... its was this guy coming around with sprayfoam insulation. when it dried it was hard as a could be and can be cut and sanded, I know because I tried this on the block square sample he left....
(Before you read... keep in mind I have no clue on building boards...)
I eventually got around to thinking that some backyard/garage macguyvers could use this to recreate a surfboard, up to the point of glassing...
here's what I was thinking.... take your board you want to recreate and (for arguments sake) paper mache the board... 2 halves (left side/right side), nose to tail. when it dries you have the mold of your surfboard. then fill the 2 molds with spray foam. when it dries take it out of the mold and glue the two halves together. I guess one could expect to do some fine tune sanding.... then glass it????

My chicken came out nice and moist. The flavor was mild and pleasant. The mint did not overpower the flavor at all. I used a lowfat greek style yogurt and added just a pinch of curry powder. I allowed this to marinate for 2 hours before cooking. We were very pleased. Thanx!

Globally, forests cover 4 billion hectares or 30% of the Earth's land surface, and 20%–40% of the forest biomass is made up of roots. Roots play a key role for trees: they take up water and nutrients from the soil, store carbon (C) compounds, and provide physical stabilization. Estimations from temperate forests of Central Europe reveal that C storage in trees accounts for about 110 t C ha−1, of which 26 t C ha−1 is in coarse roots and 1.2 t C ha−1 is in fine roots. Compared with soil C, which is about 65 t C ha−1 (without roots), the contribution of the root C to the total belowground C pool is about 42%. Flux of C into soils by plant litter (stemwood excluded) compared with the total soil C pool, however, is relatively small (4.4 t C ha−1 year−1) with the coarse and fine roots each contributing about 20%. Elevated CO2 concentrations and N depositions lead to increased plant biomass, including that of roots. Recent analysis in experiments with elevated CO2 concentrations have shown increases of the forest net primary productivity by about 23%, and, in the case of poplars, an increase of the standing root biomass by about 62%. The turnover of fine roots is also positively influenced by elevated CO2 concentrations and can be increased in poplars by 25%–45%. A recently established international platform for scientists working on woody root processes, COST action E38, allows the exchange of information, ideas, and personnel, and it has the aim to identify knowledge gaps and initiate future collaborations and research activities.

New Health Claim Headed to Grocery Stores Soon continued...
"Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. One serving of [name of food] provides [x] grams of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. [See nutrition information for total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol content.]"
The label must state how much of the omega-3 fatty acids the product contains, but the FDA did not set a minimum level of omega-3 fatty acids that the products must contain in order to carry the qualified health claim.
"In our review of the science that's available for this qualified health claim, we determined that we couldn't really set a minimum amount," says Barbara Schneeman, PhD, director of the FDA's Office of Nutritional Products, Labeling and Dietary Supplements. "We felt it was more important that consumers just be informed of how much they would be consuming in a particular product."
The new qualified health claim also applies to dietary supplements, but the FDA recommends that total daily intake of EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids not exceed three grams per day with no more than two grams per day from a dietary supplement. Getting more than that may lead to slower blood clotting and bleeding problems.
Fitting Fish Into a Healthy Diet
Although fish oilsupplements or foods fortified with omega-3 fatty acids will be allowed to carry the qualified health claim if they meet the FDA's requirements, experts say it's usually best to go straight to the source in order to reap the most heart-healthy benefits.
"I'd rather see people eating fish than taking fish oil capsules unless they are recommended by a physician," says registered dietitian Nelda Mercer, spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
"When you eat fish, you're not only adding the health benefits of the omega-3 fatty acids, but you're subtracting saturated fat by substituting fish for other food sources that are higher in saturated fat, like steak," Mercer tells WebMD.
That means that how you eat and prepare fish is also important.

Fight with Food items in a store
In April 2006 in New York, Jimmy, a 30-year-old man and his 26-year-old girlfriend were arrested after a food fight in a grocery store. After arguing loudly, the couple began throwing sweet potatoes at each other. Eventually, the man allegedly threw the woman into several vegetable racks, sending the contents spilling to the floor. As both continued to brawl on the floor, she allegedly stuffed lettuce into the man's mouth

Jewish Films at TG Film Fest
TG Film Fest, presented by the Trans/Giving arts collective, features films by trans, genderqueer, and intersex filmmakers, a
The second film screening, at 1:30 pm on August 28th, boasts two films by Jewish filmmakers, and a documentary about a trans Jewish artist, Claude Cahun. Zsa Zsa Gershick's Door Prize won for Best Short at the 2010 Kansas City Gay and Lesbian Film Festival. Kalil Cohen's The Next Gender Nation is a documentary short about the experiences of gender variant youth in Los Angeles public schools. The 55 minute documentary Lover Other is by celebrated filmmaker Barbara Hammer. 1920's Surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore come to life in this hybrid documentary. Lovers and step-sisters, the gender-bending artists lived and worked together all their lives. Heroic Jewish resisters to the Nazis occupying Jersey Isle during WWII, they were ahead of their times in many ways. Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Hammer infuses this film with vigor using photographs, archival footage, dramatic interludes of a "found Cahun script", and unique interviews of Jersey Isle residents who knew the "sisters". The community sponsor for this film screening is JQ International's Trans Inclusion Committee.

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
DxTerity Diagnostics acquired an IP portfolio from SourceMDx that includes blood-based gene expression assays for the early diagnosis of breast and lung cancer, along with a blood test for predicting survival and response to melanoma therapeutics. DxTerity is already working to further develop the assays using its NEAT (non-enzymatic amplification technology) platform for genomic testing.
DxTerity is exploiting its NEAT platform as a cost-effective point-of-care system for carrying out complex genomic tests. The technology is designed to simplify genetic assays by eliminating the need for sample purification and enzymatic amplification procedures. The approach instead replaces amplification with a highly specific chemical reaction and reduces the total number of steps required to perform a complex genetic test from 16 down to four, the firm claims.
The overall process is carried out in a disposable plastic cartridge on the NEAT instrument. DxTerity says NEAT can effectively multiplex the measurement of 80 genes, including direct analysis from complex samples such as whole blood, and generates results in just an hour.
The firm aims to offer both high- and low-throughput versions of the point-of-care device suitable for use in high-volume testing laboratories or in physicians' offices and clinics where smaller test volumes are required. Each will feature a large, open test menu that allows for a wide variety of gene signatures to be tested.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

UK climate change video shows us how it's done [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | August 17, 2006
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Thursday, August 17, 2006 - 14:08
[3]Check out this video [4] (windows media version) produced as part of the UK's "Climate Change Communications Initiative [3]." They sure nail down all the elements of a successful climate change action campaign; they begin by first explaining in very simple terms what climate change actually is, they then highlight (but don't dwell on) the possible consequences of inaction and finally, they wrap up with the fact that there are available solutions and tailor that message with a call to action.
Great job. What do all the other PR pros out there think about this one?

So on Monday nights, we (my DH, DD and myself) spend the night with my grandparents so they can watch DD on Tuesdays while we are at work. Well, I just got a call from my grandmother that my grandfather went to the dr and he has strep throat! OH MAN!!!
So now my concern is, I went to bed last night (before I knew about this) with coughing and a sore throat - not horrible I figured it was just the crazy weather here in GA (70 one day, 40 the next). Then my DH texted me and said DD (3 y/o) woke up coughing this morning. Now, I found out about the strep throat. Is it possible that we caught it that quickly? Also, I know I can take DD to the dr and get her fixed up, but can I do anything for me and LO? Should I call my dr just in case (also which Dr do I call my obgyn or my pc)? I don't want to overreact, I just want to make sure I take care of us.
Thanks for your input!

Cargill Incorporated Internship
Cargill may be private, but it's highly visible. The agribusiness giant, the largest private corporation in the US, has operations in 67 countries. It has four business units -- Agriculture Nutrition & Protein (customized farm services and products); Food Ingredients and Applications (food and beverage ingredients, and meat and poultry products); Industrial; Origination and Processing (commodity origination, processing, marketing and distribution); and Industrial & Financial Services (physical products and risk management). Cargill's customers include food, beverage, industrial, pharmaceutical, and personal care product makers, as well as farmers and food service providers.
Cargill comprises more than 50 businesses units across its four business segments. The company offers a plethora of diversified operations and products, including grain, cotton, sugar, petroleum, and financial trading; food processing; futures brokering; health and pharmaceutical products; animal feed and crop protection; and industrial products such as biofuels, oils and lubricants, starches, salt, and fertilizer for crop and livestock farmers. Indeed, Cargill is one of the leading grain producers in the US, and its Excel unit (part of Cargill Meat Solutions) is a top US meatpacker. Cargill is also a major US supplier to McDonald's, providing the burger behemoth with eggs, oils, sauces, and beef products.
Geographic Reach
Minnesota-based Cargill has operations in 67 countries across six continents. North America is the company's largest market, accounting for 37% of sales and other revenues. The Asia-Pacific Region accounts for nearly a quarter of sales, and Europe nearly a fifth. Latin America accounts for 13% of sales, while Africa and the Middle East make up the remainder.
Financial Performance
The agribusiness giant rang up about $135 billion in sales and other revenues in fiscal 2014 (ended May), a 1% decline from the prior year. Earnings from continuing operations dropped 19% to $1.87 billion in 2014 from 2013. The animal nutrition business posted higher results, with the impact of recent acquisitions and a strong blend of products and services. The company's other three business segments reported lower revenues due to weaker economic conditions in some regions, trade issues, and poor performance in energy.
Cargill is diversifying its products portfolio and reaching new geographic markets through a combination of acquisitions and joint ventures. The company has invested more than $3 billion to build major food and agricultural facilities in 13 countries to improve distribution. Projects include a poultry complex in China's Anhai province; another poultry plant in Russia; and additional capacity in Thailand. China was the site of several investments in liquid sweeteners and specialty fats. In Indonesia the company opened a cocoa processing facility. Cargill also began construction of a feed mill in South Korea. Back in the US, Cargill is closing beef-processing plants as the domestic supply of cattle shrinks. In June 2014, Cargill Beef announced plans to shutter a beef-processing plant in Wisconsin, after idling a plant in Plainview, Texas in 2013. The company has six remaining beef-processing plants in the US.
Cargill formed a joint flour-milling venture with ConAgra and farmer-owned cooperative CHS. The three partners combined their flour-milling operations to form Ardent Mills, the largest flour miller in North America, with annual sales of more than $4 billion. Cargill owns 44% of the venture. The Justice Department has told Cargill and ConAgra that they must sell four flour mills to resolve anticompetition concerns that their joint venture will lead to higher flour prices.
Typically, acquisitions make up about a third of Cargill's growth, but ultralow interest rates and lofty valuations suppressed the company's appetite for acquisitions in fiscal 2013.
Mergers, Acquisitions and Divestments
In 2014 the company acquired a salt production business the Mosaic Company. It expanded its edible oil portfolio with the acquisition of Leonardo Olive Oil from Dalmias. It also added Pet Carousel, a California dog treat producer, to its product merry-go-round.
In July 2013 Cargill acquired Siamakme Aquatic Feeds Co., Ltd., a shrimp feed manufacturer in Thailand, to expand its aquaculture business. The purchase added to Cargill's existing shrimp feed production capabilities Latin America, India, and Asia.
In July 2012, Cargill sold its global juice cold blends and compounds business to WILD Flavors GmbH. In December it sold its cultures and businesses to Royal DSM.
Cargill is 88% owned by the Cargill family, the descendants of founder W.W. Cargill who started the business in 1865 as a small grain storage company.

Puget Sound Energy says it needs a place to store natural gas and the way to do that is to chill it to a liquid form.

Read more on I Wonder Why ... ? Milton ditches bike helmet law, says rules created liability By Evan Hoover • May 31, 2012 Evan Hoover / KPLU No helmet laws, no liability — at least that's the way the city of Milton sees it.

Sales tax boost would create safety net for mentally ill By Keith Seinfeld • Mar 20, 2012 If you live anywhere in the Puget Sound region you probably pay a small sales tax to support mental health services. The main exception is in Pierce County. That may change, at least within Tacoma city limits. A proposal in front of the Tacoma City Council would raise the sales tax by 1/10th of a percent, or a penny per $10 purchase.

Hot, exciting and dangerous: Glassblowing with Hilltop Artists By Ambar Espinoza • Feb 20, 2012 Ambar Espinoza In the mid-1990's, gang activity in Tacoma's Hilltop neighborhood was at an all time high. The area had become notorious for drug deals, assaults, and drive-by shootings. Gangs often recruited from schools - all the way down through the elementary grades. It took a lot of effort by the police and community groups to turn the neighborhood around. One of the organizations that's made a difference is Hilltop Artists. It started out in those high-crime days by convincing kids who were attracted to "danger" to swap gang banging for another dangerous activity: glassblowing. Jon Kitna hopes to coach at high school in Tacoma, Wash.

Arsenal kept up their slim hopes of a top three finish with a 1-0 win that keeps West Brom waiting to secure their Premier League survival.
Olivier Giroud headed the Gunners ahead direct from Santi Cazorla's corner in the 14th minute and that's the way it stayed in a match of precious few chances that also saw Lukas Podolski hit the post.
West Brom are still almost certainly safe from relegation and need Norwich to win their remaining games to have anything to worry about.
For Pepe Mel's side this was a match to forget, while for Arsenal it was a victory that gave their players a nice atmosphere in which to parade around the Emirates with yet another stint in the Champions League to look forward to.
14' – GIROUD OPENS SCORING: He gets in front of Dawson to nod Arsenal ahead from Cazorla's corner.
24' – FOSTER SAVES: Lovely ball from Cazorla finds Flamini but his cross is well saved by Foster before Giroud can pounce.
32' – BERAHINO MISSES: Szczesny parries a Dorrans shot straight into his path but he fires over and was flagged just offside. Ozil then gifts it to Berahino who fires wide.
33' – GREAT SAVE FOSTER: It falls to Cazorla who arrows his shot for the corner but the keeper is down really well to palm behind.
73' – CHANCE OZIL: Giroud heads down to the German and he should score but the ball bobbles and he slides it wide.
75' – PODOLSKI HITS POST: It comes back to him off Olsson and he snatched at the surprise chance after good initial work from Giroud.
TALKING POINT: Arsenal's lack of midfield creativity. Aaron Ramsey looked a big loss today as the home side carved out precious few chances.
Arsenal have scored in their last 16 previous games against the Baggies in the Barclays Premier League (W11 D3 L2).
Arsenal last failed to score in a Premier League game in May back in 2009 (0-0 v Man Utd).
Olivier Giroud scores for the third PL home match in a row for the first time in his Arsenal career. It's his 16th goal this season, in 35 matches, compared to 11 in 34 last season. It's his eighth goal in his last seven games.
Olivier Giroud (Arsenal): Tireless work rate and got the decisive goal. One of the few who performed on the day.
Arsenal: Szczesny 6, Sagna 6, Mertesacker 7, Koscielny 7, Monreal 6, Flamini 6, Arteta 6, Cazorla 7, Ozil 6, Podolski 6, Giroud 8. Subs: Vermaelen 6, Kallstrom 6, Rosicky 6.
West Brom: Foster 6, Dawson 6, Lugano 6, Olsson 7, Brunt 6, Amalfitano 6, Mulumbu, Morrison 6, Dorrans 7, Sessegnon 6, Berahino 7. Subs: Anichebe 6, Vydra 6.

This brief presents a contouring control scheme for robotic manipulators. The geometric properties of the desired contour are incorporated in the controller design phase, and the resulting controller has been structured as a two-layered hierarchical control scheme that consists of an outer loop and an inner loop. The outer loop is formed by kinematic control system in operational space, which can be designed to assign different dynamics to the tangential, normal, and binormal direction of the desired contour. It is shown that the outer loop can provide a joint velocity reference signal to the inner one. The inner loop is used to implement a velocity servo control system at the robot joint level. Meanwhile, a radial basis function network is adopted to compensate for the nonlinear dynamics of the robotic manipulator, where a robust control strategy is used to suppress the modeling error of neural networks. Experimental results on the Zebra-Zero robotic manipulator have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme in comparison with other control strategies.

Released: Aug 01st, 2006
Running Time: 125
Director: Jordan (I)
Company: XCartel
Cast: Veronika (I), Lance Banger, Sabrina (I), Justin (I), Megan Jones, Jason (I), Brittany James, Steve (I), Kylie (I), Lucky (I)
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
Seeking fame and a little cash, five young models allow themselves to be easily talked into fucking on camera. Hesitantly acting throughout her scene, Veronika's cock sucking and riding speak otherwise of her inhibition. Both extremely young looking and tiny, Brittany James and Sabrina are more than enthusiastic to perform before the camera. Kylie, well Kylie is a bit angry and mocks the man who wants to fuck her.
While the majority of this release is your average fuck and suck, Brittney James and Sabrina share the spotlight with their ridiculously young looks and love for sex. Sabrina also stands out thanks to the huge cum shot she takes to the face and hair. The action is adequate, but it's unclear whether or not the lack of intensity is intentional to better portray the actress's newness to the field. The lighting and sound help with the senses, but the close up camera work could have been better.
Retailing: Alert your veteran customers to the new faces and youthful appearances.

- I was wondering what differences are between firmware and software?
- What differences are between firmware and OS?
- Are boot-loaders firmware? Bios is. How about GNU grub? Is grub software or firmware?
Traditionally, firmware is CPU code that resides on a unmodifiable ROM that is necessary for a hardware device to boot and load an operating system or a binary (software) of choice. Sometimes no choice of a binary is given and one attached to the boot-portion firmware is used.
All CPUs have the classical problem in that, since they fetch instructions from memory, some sort of pre-programmed memory must exist at a fixed address when the CPU starts, so that it can do something automatically on startup. Firmware exists for this purpose. Some firmware also has code that later programs can use for services. BIOS firmware exposes many functions that DOS used for basic input and output (hence why BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System).
The distinction is not totally clear. Some (most) WLAN cards require firmware to be loaded before they will start functioning. However, usually there is a tiny firmware on the device whose job is to do nothing but accept a main "firmware" over the USB bus when the device is started by the operating system, and hand over control when it is loaded. Most people would say all of it is firmware.
Since EEPROMs and flash memory became more common, firmware usually no longer resides in an unwriteable ROM but in flash memory and can be modified. The distinction between firmware and software is blurry today with the advent of flash memory. However, one thing hasn't changed over the years and that is CPUs are still CPUs and require some code, or firmware, to be visible at startup to, well, start up.
CPUs are in more devices than ever before so developing and allowing firmware to be updated in the case of bugs is a big deal now and many hardware devices with a CPU have firmware update interfaces, sometimes undocumented.
A firmware can be used to load an OS. It can contain a boot loader or code that loads a boot loader. It is possible to store an OS image in the same location as firmware and let the boot-time code of firmware load the OS (cell phones do this). PC BIOSes as a rule do not include boot loaders. U-boot (not for PCs) is an example of a "filesystem-aware" firmware that does directly load an operating system.
FIrmwares usually do not have all the features of a full operating system because of the principle that simpler is more reliable. The simplest firmwares simply initialize a minimum of hardware, load a sector or block off of a storage device and throw execution to it. This is simple to program and therefore easy to verify as bug free. Bugs in boot time firmware particularly can spell disaster for a device.
Firmware is software, except instead of being stored on disk, it is stored in an EEPROM which is usually flashable to allow updates.
Firmware is in a way an operating system, but much more restrictive and single-purposed because it is only for controlling that device, whereas an OS is a general-purpose system that allows any kind of software to be run on multiple hardware devices.
No, boot-loaders are not firmware because they are software that exists on the disk. Yes, the BIOS is because it exists on a (flashable) chip. No, GRUB is not firmware either because, again it is not firm (there is no hardware component to it), it is software that exists on disk—though it could (and may) be installed on a chip, in which case it would be firmware.
The boundaries can be a little fuzzy.
Software typically is any instructions or routine that a computer can do.
Firmware is typically specific instructions (software) that are loaded in/on to hardware in order for them to perform their function.
I would say that pretty much every piece of hardware has some sort of firmware included in it.
Again, I do not think there is a definitive guide as to where one starts and stops - all what firmware is, is software which is compiled for whatever chip is in the device.
As for your second question about what is firmware, I would say that bootloaders are not but the BIOS is and grub isn't.
This is very hard to draw the line but... the way I look at it is that the BIOS (now EFI) is the firmware of the motherboard, and the Hard drive has it's own firmware.
So, the bootloader/grub is pure software - it may do tasks with the hard drive, but it is not directly actually controlling any hardware.
If you take an embedded device such as an Iphone/Ipad, where does the firmware end and software begin!? If you consider IOS to be firmware, then why not Windows or similar.
To me, this shows that the boundaries are where the manufacturers or vendors of any device allow you to take control and it is not actually a fixed thing/exact science.
For example,
To complicate further - when I say upon request, this can be from a driver within other software
Now, an Ipad, or an Iphone, or any other embedded device...
So.... To sum up...
For me, I would say that firmware = the software that comes on devices where as pure software is purchased as data, but I am sure others may say different!
