Pooling resources in given limits and automatically assign task to open workers.
In multi-threaded applications, handling the various threads is a complicated task. Threadpool functionality is targeted to make it easier to use a large number of threads efficiently.
The main goal when using a threadpool is to be able to dynamically schedule work to a given set of workers. However, the original process does not need to keep track of the process creation itself, but forwards the process management to the threadpool implementation. The threadpool will create new workers if necessary and destroy unused ones.

The vast majority of data mining algorithms require the setting of many input parameters. The dangers of working with parameter-laden algorithms are twofold. First, incorrect settings may cause an algorithm to fail in finding the true patterns. Second, a perhaps more insidious problem is that the algorithm may report spurious patterns that do not really exist, or greatly overestimate the significance of the reported patterns. This is especially likely when the user fails to understand the role of parameters in the data mining process. Data mining algorithms should have as few parameters as possible. A parameter-light algorithm would limit our ability to impose our prejudices, expectations, and presumptions on the problem at hand, and would let the data itself speak to us. In this work, we show that recent results in bioinformatics, learning, and computational theory hold great promise for a parameter-light data-mining paradigm. The results are strongly connected to Kolmogorov complexity theory. However, as a practical matter, they can be implemented using any off-the-shelf compression algorithm with the addition of just a dozen lines of code. We will show that this approach is competitive or superior to many of the state-of-the-art approaches in anomaly/interestingness detection, classification, and clustering with empirical tests on time series/DNA/text/XML/video datasets. As a further evidence of the advantages of our method, we will demonstrate its effectiveness to solve a real world classification problem in recommending printing services and products.

I'm adding some heavy lifting to my functions file but I'm wondering if there's a better way to do this. I'm going to add some functions relating to shipping in my ecommerce site. It will be looking up the buyer's shipping state or zip and hiding a shipping option if set as excluded.
Since I only need this function on the checkout page(s) if the code is in the functions file, is it running every time any page is loaded?
Is a plugin a better solution or do they both actively run from every page load?

But he can't do it alone, so he talks some LeBron as well.
If you're going to bet on an NBA player likely to be moved before the start of the NBA season — or at least by the deadline — Bucks' big man Greg Monroe would be a good choice. It's no secret he is on the trade block, the Bucks just aren't finding a team making an offering to their liking.
What would Monroe like?
He probably wants to end up in New Orleans, ESPN's Marc Stein said on the Lowe Post podcast.
Which makes a ton of sense — he was born in New Orleans, he wants to go home. The two sides have talked about a deal multiple times in the past, but nothing got done.
The problem is the Bucks are only getting rock-bottom offers for Monroe. On the upside, he's an efficient offensive NBA big who got the Bucks 15.3 points and 8.8 rebounds a game last season. However, he's a defensive liability who does not protect the rim, plus he's a $17 million rental next season (he can and likely will opt out in the summer of 2017). Even teams that could use a scoring big are not going to give up much quality in a trade for a rental like Monroe.
The Pelicans already have Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca as traditional fives, and they should play Anthony Davis there more anyway. Roster wise, the Pelicans would need to make some other moves for this deal to make sense.
But eventually, the Bucks will find an offer they are willing to take.
Venezuela is in its first Olympic basketball tournament in more than 20 years — they upset Canada and Argentina to win the FIBA Americas tournament last summer and earned the right to go to Rio.
But they are going to have to play there without the one NBA player on their roster. Greivis Vasquez, who had ankle surgery last December, announced he had to pull out, via the Nets.
If you want to know what this means for the Venezuelan team heading into Rio, well, they shot just 23.9 percent in an 80-45 loss to Team USA Friday night in Chicago — and that was by far the USA's worst performance in the exhibition run-up to the Rio Games.
Vasquez should be getting decent minutes off the bench behind Jeremy Lin in Brooklyn this season. They need him healthy as the team tries to move from "god awful" to just plain "not good" next season.
Another smart move by the Spurs.
Monty Williams is one of the better assistant coaches in the NBA right now, and he was available (remember he understandably left Oklahoma City last season after the tragic death of his wife). He's part of Mike Krzyzewski's staff with USA Basketball this summer — watch him in practices at age 44 and he's a better defender plenty of players in the league — and he wanted to get back on the bench.
San Antonio has snapped him up, reports Marc Stein of ESPN.
Sources told ESPN that Williams — who left the Oklahoma City Thunder's bench in February after the tragic death of his wife, Ingrid — has been urged by Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to take as much of a role with the organization as he feels comfortable for the 2016-17 campaign.
The specifics of what role Williams would fill and how much time he could commit have not yet been determined, but sources say San Antonio has opened the door to either a coaching and player-development role or a front-office position (or a hybrid), depending on what he prefers.
One source close to Williams told ESPN that the 44-year-old "absolutely" intends to be a head coach in the league again after his expected stint with the Spurs. The source also said numerous teams, including Oklahoma City, have made similar offers to Williams for next season.
Williams will get another shot in the big chair down the line. In the short term, this is a smart move — nothing looks better on a resume than "Spurs" around the league right now.
Team USA had their "Tiny Dancer" moment.
Like "Stillwater" in Almost Famous, Team USA's Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green and Kyrie Irving were leading a sing-along of Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" on the team plane out of Chicago to Houston for the USA's final exhibition game. Hat tip Alysha Tsuji who pulled the snapchats.
Everyone was loving it… except for Carmelo Anthony, according to DeMar DeRozan.

A program aimed at saving lives is getting a second chance here in the Lehigh Valley.
Allentown and Bethlehem Police Departments will both begin training on Project Lifesaver in November.
The program uses tracking bracelets to find missing people especially those who suffer from neurological diseases like Alzheimer's or Autism.
The project was first introduced in Lehigh County a few years ago but was never fully implemented.

Rumor: Sonic Anniversary game coming to coincide with the Hedgehog's 20th
SEGA has said its working on a game to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Sonic, and it's called Sonic Anniversary.
The announcement is being attributed to SEGA marketing director Izaskun Urretabizkaia speaking at Gamefest 2010, , the game is chock full of level remakes from two decades worth of the blue one's games and includes a mix of both 2D and 3D environments.
Each level, comprised of some of the best ones in the series, will be receive an update, and will launch on DS, PSP, PS3, and Wii.
A release on PC and Xbox 360 has yet to be confirmed, but a 360 version will be likely.
SEGA has yet to make an official comment on the matter, thus the rumor tag in the post title. SEGA Spain has officially released a "no comment" statement to Spong.
We'll send a mail to the US office, then.

Are Exploding Manhole Covers In Washington DC Caused By Shocking Levels Of Leaking Natural Gas?
Residents of Washington, DC are used to jokes about metaphorical hot air, humidity, and the swampy history of their city. But there's something they may not know about the District: it's overrun with methane, which sometimes makes manhole covers explode.
Natural gas is mostly methane, and it is carried through underground pipes to heat buildings and cook food. Those pipes are often old, and this led ecologist and chemical engineer Robert Jackson of Duke University to drive around DC over a period of two months, regularly measuring the air to take methane levels.
He and his research team found methane leaks everywhere, with thousands of places having significantly higher than normal methane concentrations, and some places reaching 50 times normal urban levels (100 ppm vs 2 ppm). A similar study in Boston last year found essentially the same results. In DC, the source wasn't the swamp on which the city was built — it was fossil fuel. (The methane they measured had more carbon-13 rather than the normal, modern carbon-12.)
There are sources of methane all over the planet: landfills, swamps, rice paddies, gas wells, melting permafrost, and livestock all contribute. Jackson's research found another major source: aging infrastructure. Methane isn't immediately physically harmful, though it does lead to ground-level ozone which is known to harm tree growth and reduce lung function
But what about the exploding manholes? Science Now explains:
Even more disturbing than the thousands of large leaks on the street were the levels of methane in manholes. In some, the researchers found levels as high as 100,000 ppm. Natural gas companies typically consider 40000 ppm to be the threshold for a risk of explosion. D.C. manholes have a tendency to blow up — there are an average of 38 "manhole incidents" per year in the district, according to a report by Stone & Webster Consultants in Boston, including one yesterday on 33rd Street in Georgetown that forced the evacuation of a cupcake shop. Although Jackson cannot say for certain that leaking natural gas is the reason for these blasts, the leaks certainly don't contribute to safety.
What usually happens is a spark from an exposed cable sets off an explosion of pressurized gas — what remains unclear is how much of this gas is methane. DC's utility, Pepco, investigated a manhole explosion in 2000 and though their press release ruled out natural gas, their report to the DC Public Service Commission indicated otherwise, according to a February 26, 2000 article in the Washington Post.
Pepco issued a report to the D.C. Public Service Commission yesterday that strongly indicated a natural gas leak may have led to the fire and explosions last week that blew three manhole covers in Georgetown, an incident that shut down the 3100 block of M Street NW for 24 hours.
"We may never know what gas caused the fire — whether it's sewer gas, gas emitted by burning rubber cable or natural gas," said Nancy Moses, a spokeswoman for Potomac Electric Power Co. But the report said sewer gas "has historically not been a significant problem in [Pepco] manholes" and "the strength and location of the manhole explosions . . . raises questions as to whether the explosion could have been caused solely by gasses [caused] by burning of low voltage cable insulation."
Tim Sargeant, a spokesman for Washington Gas, said yesterday that the utility was "disappointed that Pepco speculation and finger-pointing would continue. The report is more innuendo than investigation."
A manhole cover explosion in Indianapolis last December happened as firefighters were responding to the smell of a natural gas leak, and the local natural gas company again denied the possibility gas caused the explosion:
Indianapolis Fire Department Capt. Rita Burris said fire crews had been dispatched to the area on reports of a strong gas odor.
Moments later, the first of five manhole covers exploded at Massachusetts Avenue and New Jersey Street, "with such significant force as to wake the other firefighters still at the station," Burris said. "Flames were visible from the manhole for some time before they extinguished."
…"From all indications, the explosion that occurred this morning at the intersection of Massachusetts, New Jersey and Michigan in Indianapolis, does not appear to be natural gas-related," read a statement from Arish Rountree, corporate affairs coordinator for Citizens Energy Group.
DC and Indianapolis are not alone in experiencing manhole cover explosions. They have happened in cities all over the world, including Boston, Albany, Atlanta, San Francisco, New York City, Scranton, Indianapolis, Rio De Janeiro, Peterborough (UK), and of course Washington DC.
Dr. Jackson, the researcher who mapped the high levels of methane leaking in DC, hopes his research will inspire cities and natural gas companies to fix the leaks. As there are many cities with aging infrastructure that could potentially leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere, these emissions could represent a large source of greenhouse gas emissions.
Methane is 100 times more efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide over 20 years. NOAA has already confirmed that as much as 9% of the methane produced at natural gas wells leaks into the atmosphere. As the planet warms and permafrost melts, it starts the most dangerous feedback loop in the entire carbon cycle.
The Environmental Defense Fund is in the middle of a two-year effort to analyze methane leakage during the natural gas life cycle — from extraction to consumption. They have already commenced with studies at wellheads and on natural gas vehicles, while an examination of local distribution of natural gas is forthcoming.
14 Responses to Are Exploding Manhole Covers In Washington DC Caused By Shocking Levels Of Leaking Natural Gas?
Just for my edification, can you clarify this:
…it was fossil fuel. (The methane they measured had more carbon-13 rather than the normal, modern carbon-12.)
I was under the impression that fossil fuel "derived CH₄ would be richer in C-12″. Or is it different for natural gas and oil or coal?
Sorry, the Real Climate reference didn't worK. Try again.
I wonder if perhaps it's methane that's ultimately responsible for some of the poor decisions made in Washington.
What are the physical and mental effects of low level methane concentrations, over extended periods of time, on humans?
It may be a contributing factor, but a political system totally dominated by the money power of the rich, and with the narrowest spectrum of acceptable (ie Rightwing) opinion imaginable, will inevitably throw up (literally in the slang usage and metaphorically)the worst types available from the rich tapestry of human pathology.
Isn't government wonderful.
4000 ppm is private sector judgement of profound danger. Government doesn't mind 100,000 ppm.
If you trust government you will be disappointed, or dead.
Isn't "manhole" a sexist term? I thought it was outlawed back in the 1990s.
Perhaps one will blow up under the House Republican Caucus?
I can't prove it, but I would bet almost anything that the overall rate of natural gas leaks in the US infrastructure is much higher than generally assumed. We simply don't detect the leaks because they happen in small amounts (per leak) and often in places where they go undetected (like underground or remote facilities). We also don't hunt them down and fix them because even a 10 or 15% leakage rate doesn't throw away enough value that the corporations involved are have sufficient financial incentives to make the sizable expenditures needed to supervise many, many miles of pipes. It's cheaper for the corporations involved to claim everything is OK, do nothing about the leaks, and just another form of overhead.
We've all seen the satellite photos of the massive NG flaring in the Bakken oil fields (Google it if you haven't); does anyone here really think that we manage to capture and flare all the NG in such operations? Or is it far more likely that the oil companies flare enough for safety purposes and ignore anything else?
Lou G:
Natural gas distributors are regulated utilities, and at least in New York the PSC allows additional revenue for companies that reduce their gas losses. Most NY companies "lose" about 2% of the gas they deliver, but that includes the inaccuracy of meters, which accounts for at least half that. A "10 or 15% leakage rate" would be 450 to $100 million annually for Con Edison (in NYC).
Flaring gas in production fields is an entirely different issue. It's just to costly to capture it and sell it unless there's a large volume to sell. Burnimg it converts it to CO2, so it probably has less greenhouse effect than if it were to disperse without burning.
Finally, the New York City vault explosion in the video was clearly not a natural gas issue. that looked like a high voltage intermittent short that burned off insulation. Natural gas would not have burned off all that black smoke, and it most likely would not have exploded repeatedly.
The real message here is that US infrastructure has deteriorated, and that is an economic as well as environmental story.
So the practicial issue for city leaders is should these natural gas pipe networks be repared or abandoned. Abandoning ng as a source of home heating means replacing many gas heating systems. Which is more cost effective? Which is the better approach from a global warming prespective? This is could be an important area for local activists to organize around – assuming we know the answers.
If we just had a GHG tax…….
We need a GHG tax/fee & dividend, that includes methane and is set high enough to make nat. gas to expensive to waste.
Women are now taking the lead in addressing emissions on a local level. Yes.
The City Council of Woonsocket, RI, changed it to person hole. Trust me, it didn't work!
There are two prices to most fuels, with reasonable safety and without that much safety. Fracked methane gas (natural my foot!) is kind of in the latter category. There's an acceptable limit of houses blown up with all inside unaccounted for, an acceptable limit of manhole covers sent flipping into the air (Heads!) and an acceptable limit of methane leaked into eaarth's atmosphere (9%).

What They're Saying About Usain Bolt's Wins in Jamaica
Usain Bolt today won the Olympic gold medal in London in the 200 meter sprint, following up on his earlier win in the 100 meter race. He had won both races at the Olympic Games in Beijing. In today's 200 meter contest, he led a Jamaican sweep.
With the debate heating up about whether Bolt is the greatest sprinter of all time, it's worth noting what they're saying about him in his home country of Jamaica, where he's already being compared to such native sons as Bob Marley and Peter Tosh.
Bolt also plans to run the 4-by-100-meter relay race on Saturday.
A survey of articles from the Jamaican Media:
–"1-2-3! Clean sweep for Jamaica in 200m" shouted the headline in the Jamaica Gleaner.
–"Lightning Bolt strikes again! Ja' 1-2-3 in 200m" boasted the headline in the Jamaica Observer. "Jamaica's sprint king Usain Bolt reaffirmed his status as a "legend" when he ran 19.32 to win the Olympic 200m title."
–In an earlier story in the Gleaner, a writer for the paper covering the Olympics wrote about getting stuck in one of London's underground trains: "Out popped an iPhone with all the latest features, belting out Bob Marley hits to soothe the frustration. As expected, we all joined in singing, much to the amusement of other international fans who were clearly happy for this exclusive cultural presentation. That is the spirit of Jamaica; such is the power of the brand."
Before the 200 meter race, the Observer posted this video interviewing passersby on the Jamaica street:

[Unable to find a way to easily contact the author directly, I'm posting here.]
Here's the gist: I use Google Analytics, WP Stats, and (because a publisher I work with uses it) just started using 'hitcounter'.
GA and WP Stats are fairly consistent. Trendlines are roughly the same shape. GA numbers (due to scripting) are always lower than WP Stats. Got it, no drama.
However, hitcounter reports numbers that are orders of magnitude higher, like 60X. A good day for my site is, realistically, 150-200 unique visitors. For hitcounter to claim I'm frequently seeing 3600-3700 in a day is just outrageous. My ego's not that big<g>.
Can anyone provide insight as to why hitcounter stats are so much higher?
Before, I simply took the newspaper site's reports of my viewership (my content appears multiple places) as higher because it commanded a bigger audience. Now, I have the ability to stats on a single given site, I'm seeing huge discrepancy.

I have a controller:
public ActionResult Index()
return View();
public ActionResult Button1()
return View();
MySite/MyController/ renders the site with 3 buttons and a div. Buttons redirect to: MySite/Controller/button1 MySite/Controller/button2 MySite/Controller/button3
I would like that when the users clicks button1 it renders MySite/MyController/ with the content of public ActionResult Button1() in the div.
same goes for botton 2 and 3. And if the users go directly to MySite/Controller/button2 it should render the Index with ActionResult Button2 in the div from the beggining.
Is there an easy way to do this? Do i need to do ajax to replace the content of the div, or should i just make the buttons a partial view and render them on the 4 pages.
If its easy with ajax, i would like that as the page dont need to refresh, but just load in the content. But i am not sure how i would make it render the pages correctly if the user goes to MySite/Controller/button2 directly.

I can see that this is a quality piece of work, but I'm not getting on top of it yet.
I put a bunch of articles in the directory and got a very nice display by list or by table. But, I am trying to tie it in with data from a Formidable form (with which we obtained the authors' permissions to publish their work) and include category and keywords fields. The exact filename of the document was one of the fields collected on the form.
I tried to make a custom column with category so that they could be sortable by this field selection.
[fileaway type="table" mod="no" style="silver-bullet" paginate="yes" pagesize="30" customdata= "[231]Category" sortfirst="custom"]. I thought the Formidable code [231] was going to populate the column, but it is has formed part of the column title instead.
When I read the instructions it seems very focused on who is logged in. We want to tie the articles in the library with information about it supplied by the author.
Are there any existing articles that will point me in the right direction? I've read that you're very busy - but do you have any spare time?
The fileaway table is currently on http://www.ccrasa.com/frm_display/articles/ This is created from the Fileaway shortcode on a 'View' page of the relevant form.
On the right is a 'flyout' with a connection to another view I made of the same form using just Formidable shortcodes. I'm quite confused as to what is happening.
If it's useful the form is on http://www.ccrasa.com/authors-permission/ We're not planning to display every data field collected there.

We are currently using ahsay to run backups on end user systems that backup to our specified directories within the server. My question would be what is a good open source backup solution that is similar in the aspect of having a service run on an end users machines that communicates with the server?
You don't specify the operating system, but if you are using Linux & the GNOME Desktop I recommend Déjà Dup.
More details re: your configuration would be extremely helpful, but Amanda Community Edition supports the client/server model I'm assuming you're looking for and has agents for Linux, Windows, and with some work, Mac OS X.
Amanda also has a BackupPC solution with deduplication that looks to be a bit more lightweight for desktop backups, but I haven't tested it so I can't comment on it.

Review: It's been awhile since I have ordered this. After being away and having sampled other canned salmons, this is by far my favorite of all time. Our kids also eat a can of this as a snack! So good for our whole family.
Y Morgan on 3/1/2016 10:52:35 AM
Review: Love the canned salmon with a salad or mixed with a bit of mustard and spread on toast!
"Hate the can!!!"
Diana on 2/15/2016 6:56:27 AM
Review: I hate the can that much that I'm giving it only 1 star. I'm never going to buy it again unless they have the easy open option for the small can. Seriously, it's been a couple of years and they still can't figure out how to do this? They do it for the no-salt and boneless/skinless variety, but not the normal? Not worth dragging around a can opener for. If and when they fix this, then I'll update my rating and review.
Hello Diana,
We are very sorry you are unhappy with the conventional lid for the CWR324. We are hopping for the next summer harvest to bring back the easy open top.
Thank you,

I know the question in the title is a bit broad.
I'm a little confused about NAS storage. I have a Macbook Pro, and I want to set up a NAS Raid box that will be attached via ethernet to my router. I want to then use Time Machine as the backup software for the Mac. Will any NAS do this as long as it has drivers for a Mac? The main thing is I don't want to have to plug in the laptop for the backup-I want it done wirelessly, and I don't want to spend $500 for the 2 Gig Time Capsule. I want something like a 2-4 gig RAID 1 setup.

Representative Weaver
Terri Lynn Weaver (born September 19, 1957)[1] also known simply as Terri Lynn is a resident of Lancaster, Tennessee and a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives for the 40th district, which is composed of DeKalb, Smith, and Macon counties.
Early life and career[edit]
Weaver was born in Mansfield, Ohio, United States. It was there she performed before her first audience.
It was in the mid-1970s that, at the invitation of her aunt, she moved to Dallas, Texas. Her uncle introduced her to Asa, the manager of a club he frequented called "Daddy's Money", where she became a cocktail waitress.
"Disco was the happen thing at the time, the Saturday Night Fever stuff of which I was never a fan of," says Weaver. "Happy Hour" was a DJ. Weaver asked the manager if he would be interested in letting her play guitar and sing during one of the "Happy Hour" slots. The manager agreed and it was enough for her Dallas debut. She added players until it formed a trio. Then they started a band.
The band was called "Terri Lynn and Texas Tea", consisting of five gentlemen and herself. They played drums, bass guitar, electric guitar, steel guitar, fiddle, mandolin and she played rhythm guitar. They played a number of clubs and other gigs over the next few years, but it wasn't until a friend at a radio station introduced her to the music of EmmyLou Harris that she adopted a style long used in the industry, "a girl and her guitar."[2] Weaver continued to work as a waitress during the week and occasionally book music gigs on the weekends.
It was while she was waitressing at a club called Barny Ol'fields, that she would meet her husband Mike. She invited him to see her play in Grapevine Texas that Friday and Saturday night. Mike Weaver has since been an inspiration in her career, even encouraging her to sing to him in while on trips in the car. They married on June 23, 1979.
Terri Lynn Weaver posted a photo onto Facebook with her standing next to her Pastor, who was dressed as Aunt Jemima in full Blackface, and left the comment, ""Aunt Jemima, you is so sweet." In her apology, she claimed ""I'm the least racist of anyone. Some of my greatest friends are black." [3]
Representative Weaver[edit]
Mrs. Terri Lynn Weaver ran a tough campaign against incumbent Rep. Frank Buck (D) in 2006.[4] Though Rep. Buck retained his seat in the house he later announced he would not run again.[5] Weaver was able to run another campaign the following election.
Representative Terri Lynn Weaver was elected to the 40th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives from 2008 to present filling the vacant seat of Rep. Frank Buck (D)[6] She serves in the 106th General Assembly as a member of the House Agriculture Committee, the House Children & Family Affairs Committee, the House Education Committee, the House K-12 Subcommittee, and the House Domestic Relations Subcommittee.[1]
Rep. Weaver was indirectly responsible for the surprise 2009 Tennessee House of Representatives election of TNGA House Speaker Kent Williams, R-Elizabethton (and concurrently, the defeat of Rep. Jason Mumpower, R-Bristol) as Weaver's first vote within the House of Representatives sided with the Tennessee House Democrats on the recess motion prior to the January 14, 2009 vote for the Speaker of the House.[7] The Tennessee House Republicans tried to block the recess, but lost on a 50-49 vote.
Community involvement[edit]
Representative Weaver was previously chairman of Farm Bureau and is currently Vice Chairman of the Smith County Republican Party and Chairman of Smith County Republican Women. She is also a member of the Smith County Chamber of Commerce,[8] the local Rotary Club, and the National Rifle Association. Her musical talent lends her involvement as Chairman of the Lancaster Independence Day Parade and Host Musician of the Annual Christmas Eve Service.[1][2]

The smell coming from the oven while this was cooking had me salivating. My expectations were high for this dish! But I found it a little bland....maybe my curry powder wasn't hot enough, although I used the hot curry powder. Next time I may use red curry paste, or add some additional seasonings. But this is a very beautiful dish, and smells wonderful while it is cooking.
Made this fish for my dad on Fathers Day and he liked it a lot. I am not a big fish fan but I tasted and liked it too. Didnt have the Madras curry powder so I used regular curry powder that I had on hand. The tomatoes I had were pretty big so I only used two and cod fillets instead of steaks. The fish flaked apart nicely and had a mild flavor that went well with the heat of the curry powder and vegetables. I used JanuaryBride's How to Roast Garlic for the crushed garlic cloves. Fish and non-fish lovers will enjoy this! Made and reviewed for ZWT 4.
This was a phenomenal recipe! I used regular old curry, not madras, but still turned out great. Also used chicken stock in place of white wine. For fish used fresh small mouth bass caught last weekend! YUM! Baked at 350 degrees F for 45 min. Served with brown rice and some Relax white wine! Thanks, Mandy, for this keeper!
*Reviewed during ZWT4* Great fish. We loved the tomato, lemon and curry together. The tomatoes on top kept the fish beautifully moist and tender. Photo also being posted
Easy and delicious fish recipe! I loved the wine and curry flavours. The bonus is that it's a beautiful dish to look at too, fit for company. I used tilapia fillets and left out the lemon juice, baked for 25 minutes. Lovely recipe. Thank you, Mandy.
This dish is delicious! I had an open bottle of red wine and didn't want to open more wine so I used that. It would probably be even better, if that's possible, with white wine. I wasn't sure where to add the lemon juice and left it out.

I used CPU-Z to identify my socket and it said 479 mPGA. Also got chipset information and used intel site to check out compatible processors. Turns out a lot of processors were compatible with the chipset. Some a lot faster, but that doesn't mean the socket compatible does it?
I ordered a processor off the list anyway (was very cheap), but now I'm not sure if it's compatible with my socket. So I looked at my current processor and the compatible sockets and 479 mPGA wasn't there. Has CPU-Z messed up? The processor I ordered is intel core duo T8100 by the way.

This question already has an answer here:
- Custom Adapter for List View 8 answers
Hello I have a multi choice listview. I would like to add more than one line of text to each list item. e.g.
List Item 1
With subtext being smaller text. etc.
I can't find a solid example of this bar making my own custom list adapter which adds complications for multi select and is sort of over my head. The way I add items currently is
private static final String[] items={"my", "name", "is", "mark", "i", "am", "testing", "lists"};
theList = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice, items);
Is there any way to do this?

Physical activity participation declines with advancing age. Lack of facility access, lack of transportation, and psychological barriers are key reasons why many older adults don't exercise regularly. Home exercise programs may work to improve older adult involvement in exercise programs. Jette et al. (1999) reported that the Strong-for-Life Program used a home-based approach particularly suited to people with disabilities. As they noted, "if regular exercise is to be widely adopted and maintained by large numbers of older persons, it must be enjoyable, inexpensive, and achievable with minimal levels of supervision."
In 1996, in response to the growing demand for exercise programs that address common barriers to exercise for many older adults, the Canadian Centre for Activity and Aging (CCAA) developed the Home Support Exercise Program (HSEP), an evidence-based physical activity intervention delivered through the home-care system. Later, in 2003, the Alberta Centre for Active Living partnered with the CCAA to disseminate the program across Alberta. Funding from the Alberta government also allowed healthy eating content to be added and the program to be offered to the health regions in a subsidized way.
Keeping elders functioning well in their own homes is considered the optimal course of action for individual life quality. Designed for home-care clients (older adults who already receive home-care services), HSEP is offered through community-health services and accessed by the regional health authorities. HSEP clients are frail, face declining mobility, and lead sedentary lifestyles. These older adults are often considered at risk for institutionalization—a traumatic and costly event. The HSEP has been found effective in improving functional abilities and can be delivered in a cost-effective manner.
Home Support Exercise Program
The Home Support Exercise Program (HSEP) consists of 10 simple yet progressive exercises designed to enhance and maintain functional fitness, mobility, balance, and independence of homebound older adults. These exercises require no specialized equipment and can be performed in the comfort of one's home. The program includes:
- Walking from room to room
- Wall push-ups
- Rising up on toes
- Toe taps
- Seat walk
- Getting up from a chair
- Leg lifts: front, back and side
- Reach up, front, to the side
- Standing stretch (lower leg stretch)
- Seated stretch (back of leg stretch)
Participants of the program receive a manual that includes pictures and instructions for each of the exercises and a calendar, typically placed on the refrigerator, to track compliance and progress. Personal support workers, volunteers, or caregivers are trained to instruct, encourage, and monitor the home-based exercise programs. To date, the CCAA has trained more than 1,780 leaders and 85 Home Support Exercise Program facilitators.
The HSEP was piloted in collaboration with Lambton Elderly Outreach, a home-support service agency in Lambton County, Ontario. Responding to significant demand, the CCAA initiated the project in Middlesex-London, Huron and Perth counties, as well as in two First Nations' communities: Onyota'a:Ka and Walpole Island First Nations Settlements. The program was introduced between July and December of 1996. Participants receiving home-support care completed the four-month exercise intervention. Significant improvements in functional mobility scores and individual improvements in balance, functional fitness, and vitality were seen in those who elected to participate regularly.
An evaluation of the process and implementation strategies was made in order to make recommendations for future training and development of the HSEP. The evaluation used a case study approach, employing interviews and focus groups to obtain reactions to all facets of the program – training, delivery, exercise adherence, and assessment – in each community. All key stakeholders, including case managers, personal support workers, and clients, participated in the evaluation. From this evaluation, it appeared that the HSEP was a suitable intervention for frail home-bound elderly and could be delivered through the existing infrastructure of home support.
In the late 1990s the CCAA began a controlled research project to further investigate the effectiveness of the exercise program in improving client functional mobility as compared to a nonexercising control group, and to further evaluate the feasibility of delivery through the home-care network. Clients were assessed in their homes before and after the 16-week intervention. Results suggest that the HSEP is beneficial in improving the physical and psychosocial well-being of this frail elderly population. Clients showed significant improvements in functional mobility, endurance, lower extremity strength, and confidence in performing daily activities without losing their balance or falling. Many clients reported that they felt better, had an improved outlook on life and could do things around their home more easily. Personal support workers reported increases in client energy levels and endurance. Thus, the HSEP has been demonstrated to be effective and can be successfully implemented through the home-care network.
In 2001, the Ontario Trillium Foundation awarded the CCAA a three-year grant to fund the dissemination of the HSEP in at least three areas of the province. The grant enabled the delivery of the HSEP to be carried out effectively through formal support service providers (Community Care Access Centres and home-care agencies).
Implementation and Dissemination
In 2003, the Alberta Centre for Active Living partnered with the CCAA to disseminate the program across Alberta. Funding from the Alberta government also allowed healthy eating content to be added and the program to be offered to the health regions in a subsidized way.
Keeping elders functioning well in their own homes is considered the optimal course of action for individual life quality. Designed for home-care clients (older adults who already receive home-care services), HSEP is offered through community-health services and accessed by the regional health authorities. HSEP clients are frail, face declining mobility, and lead sedentary lifestyles. These older adults are often considered at risk for institutionalization—a traumatic and costly event.
To begin implementing the program, home-care staff first participate in HSEP training and orientation. A trained community-care coordinator/home-care nurse introduces the client to the program, assesses their interest and ability, and authorizes the health-care aide to start the client on the program. Using one-on-one coaching, an HSEP trained health-care aide and client begin working through the ten exercises and seven healthy eating tips with the client, along with the HSEP resources and a progress chart (Jacob Johnson, Myers, Scholey, Cyarto, & Ecclestone, 2003).
Originally, this one-time orientation took approximately 60 minutes (Jacob Johnson et al., 2003). With the healthy eating addition, the HSEP now encourages allowing 60 to 90 minutes and spreading the information over three half-hour visits. This is proving to be more manageable and effective for staff and clients. Once the client is familiar with the program, ongoing encouragement and spot-checks, but not supervision, on regular visits are usually required.
Costs of this program are higher at the initial point of personal instruction and then decrease over time to be a nontime-consuming intervention for the home-care staff. On their regular visits with the client, maintenance and support (helping client establish a daily routine, praise, reviewing the exercises as needed, help in filling out the progress chart, and encouraging progression) become the home-care staff's main role and should take no longer than five minutes during their regularly scheduled visit.
Does HSEP Work?
HSEP differs from prior interventions in several important respects:
- physician referral is not required;
- no equipment or client transport is needed;
- specialized activity trainers are not used;
- there is ongoing support and monitoring through regularly scheduled home-care visits (Jacob Johnson et al., 2003).
A nonrandom intervention study by Tudor-Locke, Myers, Jacob, Lazowski, & Ecclestone (2000) followed 60 elderly clients and 38 older adults in the control group.

Health & Baby
Safe Sleeping May Cause Flat Heads for Babies
"We agree with the AAP that 'Back to Sleep' is beneficial for the prevention of SIDS, but clearly we have seen an increase in positional plagiocephaly," Shin tells WebMD. "Whether the baby needs a helmet or not depends a little bit on how severe the problem is and how old the child is."
Generally, he says, children between three and 15 months of age with positional plagiocephaly -- not craniosynostosis -- benefit from helmets. "Over time, with weekly reshapings, the helmet will mold the child's head into a normal shape, [but] a lot of cases can improve without treatment," Shin says.
"Anytime [parents] see an abnormal shape in the head in the front or back, or the head has an asymmetrical look, they should consult with a pediatrician," he suggests. "Oftentimes, the pediatrician can reassure that it's a mild condition and rule out more serious conditions like craniosynostosis," he says.
Shin also points out that plagiocephaly often occurs with a condition called muscular torticollis, or a shortness of the neck muscle.
"The biggest problem I have seen is the tendency of children to pick a side due to shortened neck muscle, which can result in mild to moderate deformity if untreated," says Ann Marie Flannery, MD, a pediatric neurosurgeon and professor at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.
"The alert mother or father should notice if their child has a side tendency and do what they can to get them to change sides. If this is instituted when the baby is six weeks to two months, chances are that they will not have a flat head when they get older," she tells WebMD.
For example, if your child shows signs of torticollis, put their toys to the side they don't usually face, or try things to encourage them to look to the other side, she suggests.
"We have gotten away from using helmets because it is hard to get one that fits well," Flannery says. "There is some use for helmets in more serious cases, but they require a serious commitment, are extremely expensive, and we have no proof that they are better than repositioning."

UPDATE for academic year 2015-16: The VP for Finance has instructed the Office of Sustainability to put on hold the recruitment of a new CEF Committee, as the Fund will not be soliciting new projects while it undergoes a formal review and a report is prepared. Previously approved projects will continue to be supported, including the Energy Action Seminar. The Clean Energy Fund will undergo this formal, multi-step review in the 2015-2016 academic year with the intent to strategically align the goals of the University's Climate Action Plan with the activities and criteria for selecting projects through the Clean Energy Fund.
Interested? Have a comment? Want to be on a mailing list? Please contact the Office of Sustainability through the "Contact Us" page.
A major goal of the Clean Energy Fund from 2008-2015 has been to foster student, staff, and faculty cooperation and involvement. Committee members met once a month throughout the academic year and served two-year staggered terms to allow year-to-year continuity within the committee.
Clean Energy Fund committee responsibilities have included:
- Reviewing proposals and recommend project ideas to the Vice President for Finance
- Ensuring student involvement in the design, installation, and review process
- Encouraging development of cost-benefit analyses for proposed projects
- Encouraging writing of grant proposals to provide supplemental funding for projects
- Making recommendations for sustainable design on other relevant new university developments
- Working with the Chair and Fund Administrator to schedule and announce meetings, set meeting agendas, and distribute minutes.

By Jay Polansky firstname.lastname@example.com | July 25, 2012 Page 1 of 3 View Full Article Accenture found more than half of respondents do not know how to prepare for retirement, while nearly half turn to friends and family for retirement advice before life insurers and banks. More than four out of five people (82%) are concerned about their financial situation after retirement and almost nine in 10 (89%) say it is important to start saving now.The survey also reveals that more than half (53%) of the respondents believe they lack the necessary information to prepare for retirement and the financial capacity (57%) to invest in private pension. While a large majority (93%) recognize that they will need to rely partly or wholly on their personal savings to cover their post-retirement financial needs, more than two-thirds (67%) do not know how much they need to save to guarantee their standard of living in retirement. Less than one-third (29%) have private investments aimed specifically at addressing their retirement needs (in addition to any employer or public pension funds from which they may benefit). "The strong common global concerns about post-retirement financial security are alarming," said Mark A. Halverson, a managing director in Accenture's Financial Services group. "In the current economic environment, people are increasingly worried about their financial future. They are willing to save money but have limited financial knowledge and limited saving abilities to actually do so. These findings reveal a major unmet demand for retirement planning that industry professionals can help address."
