Dugway Proving Ground, UT Commander opening remarks:
FY13 funding issues: Fiscal Cliff funding issues were delayed until 1 March. Reductions will have to be absorbed before FY14. The funding cuts will be difficult for DoD to implement. The Pentagon realizes that we may go over the "fiscal cliff" and there will not be enough money to operate at current levels. The Pentagon has begun planning for the cut backs and is implementing guidance to lessen the pain at the end of FY14.
There is a proposed reduction of approximately 15% for ATEC and the Garrison has been tasked to reduce 30%.
An Army wide-hiring freeze has been implemented with very specific instructions. The hope is to reduce manpower through attrition. All Term personnel are to be released immediately. Temp assignments will not extend beyond current period. Mission critical positions must be justified.
All travel is being reviewed and approval levels have been elevated.
Q: Will there be a furlough of 22 or 30 days?
A: Hopefully none! A furlough is the last resort. Dugway is in a good position to NOT be impacted by a furlough.
Q: Will there be any Reduction in Force (RIF)?
A: Same answer addressed in Furlough. There is NO guidance indicating that RIFs will be necessary at Dugway.
Q: What services within the Garrison will be cut if they have a funding reduction of 30%?
A: IMCOM has proposed a 46% reduction in our SRM funding as a planning tool. Fully funding the Base Operations current C-Martin contract would be impossible with this cut. We have prepared a response to IMCOM STONGLY stressing that we are not able to take that kind of a reduction. We are in the process of reviewing all contracts for areas that could be reduced. We have asked C-Martin's help to review areas that could be performed more efficiently.
Q: What about the swimming pool project; the new school; and any home refurbishing?
A: The swimming pool was funded in FY12 and is scheduled to be completed end of May. The new school funding has already been appropriated and should not be affected. It remains a matter of allocation of those dollars. Housing improvements are funded with Army Family Housing (AFH) funds. Currently, AFH funding has been identified for cuts also but we actually have an advantage in receiving rent money. If funding is available, we will continue with planned improvements. The Tooele School Board meeting held 22 Jan approved the proposal to submit their matching fund proposal.
Q: It is very cold in the Club in the dining areas near the bar. We were told that there is nothing they can do about it. Is this true?
A: Temporarily YES. During the remodeling project in the Ballroom, some distribution systems have been disturbed. This will be corrected within the next week.
Q: Will the Theatre ever be open again?
A: No, not as a movie theatre. The Garrison now controls the use of the building. The Steering Committee is reviewing reuse ideas. One idea is to show newly released DVDs. We have approached the PTA for possible uses also. There is a cost associated with any use of the building and this has to be taken into consideration.
Q: Can you influence AAFES to move the DVD machine to the Mall?
A: We will talk with them again but the machine needs special cabling not currently available in the Mall. This question has actually been forwarded to the vendor Manager for AAFES and we should hear something soon.
Q: Can you talk about the VET services for Dugway?
A: SSG Beck has been in contact with Hill Air Force Base. They are currently short staffed but are in the process of hiring. Priorities are the "military working" dogs. Hill's goal is to provide quarterly visits to DPG. Past experience is that vet was not fully utilized when here. It is not cost effective to send the vet if not used. Hill AFB will consider monthly visits if usage increases to support. There is a program on line at the Hill AFB website to make appointments. Future notification of vet schedule will be via FMWR announcements.
Q: When are the West Wherry houses going to be demolished? Do you have the funding? Are they really going to be demolished? When do I really have to be out?
A: Funding has been requested but not approved. That approval for the funding does not change the basic situation. We will reduce our housing inventory to save costs. West Wherry houses are the oldest. The houses need to be vacated no later than early fall.
Q: Rumor has it that Verizon is going to provide cell coverage for the West Desert areas. Is that true?
A: NEC is arranging for a cell provider in the West Desert area. At this time, it is not known which provider that will be.
Q: Can Self-Help hours be reviewed? Not open every day and if snow storm comes on off day, residents cannot get the snow blowers. We can't meet the 12-hr requirement to clear snow. How long can we keep the blowers if we are doing more than one residence? Residents told blowers need to be returned before reasonable amount of time (only 1 hr). Equipment rented doesn't work and/or has no gas.
A: We will review hours to see if they can be spread throughout the week. We are limited by our contract and funding in the number of hours service can be provided. SGM has NOT written anyone up for not clearing snow so that should not be a fear for anyone. Common sense rule applied to the requirement. We will look into the condition of the equipment and the time allowed for each to use. It is a fire hazard to store equipment with a full tank.
SUGGESTION: Can a "No screen time" period be implemented at the Youth Center and more physical activities planned to encourage physical activities for youth 5th -- 8th grades?
Q: Why is the FRG charged for facility usage at Dugway but not at other installations/posts?
A: FMWR will look into the requirement and provide more information. There are changes going on throughout the Army regarding charges. Previously there was money allocated because of deploying units. With far fewer units deploying that source of money is going away.
Q: Why is Home daycare now charging the same rates as the CDC?
A: A recent change to the policy at DoD level requires the rates to be the same. This is not a local policy.
Q: Can you relook the possibility of contractors using the Commissary? More contractors would consider living here if Commissary available.
A: COL Estes has been working on a request through the ATEC channels for approval. Put on a "pause" due to some recent guidance but will send for approval in the near future.
Q: Do we need to renew the expiring windshield stickers?
A: No. Vehicles are no longer required to be registered. You can remove the stickers and return them to the Visitor Control Center. They are a registered item and need to be tracked to show removal.
Q: Is the Garrison considering a gun range for civilian use?
A: Yes. Garrison has been working on a plan for the past few months. New fiscal reality may slow completion.
Q: Will the wood privacy fences in East Wherry be removed with the new chain link fence project? Complaint that some of the wood fences are falling apart.
A: No. The new chain link fences are to define individual resident areas. DPW will look at area identified.
Q: When will the internet service get better? Residents' comment that internet is unavailable for multiple/long periods of time. Very slow in the evening and weekends. Trying to complete courses on line but difficult with the unstable service.
A: COL Estes/SGM Morton unaware of the problem. They have not experienced any outages or speed reduction. It is more likely a problem in the distribution of service rather than the particular provider. NEC and FMWR will look into the problem and try to isolate and identify.
UPDATE: CENTRACOM is in the process of upgrading their service to Dugway. You will soon be able to get HD capability
Q: Is there anything being done to prevent housing fires similar to the most recent house fire?
A: The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. The fire raised concerns for units with leases extending beyond 5 years. These units have not had maintenance similar to the units that turn over every 3-5 years. Garrison is looking to correct this. Maintenance needs to be completed, i.e. new carpet, even if resident is still in the house. This may cause some inconvenience but is required to adequately maintain the homes. Residents should go through their home to ensure that light bulbs greater than 60 watts are replaced. They are no longer authorized. The garrison is looking at doing a physical check of all the remaining West Wherry units to ensure there are no safety issues. We will then move to other units contemporary with them.
All money expenditures are being screened against the criteria of Life, Health, Safety or Mission critical at the IMCOM level. If it does not fall within any of these areas, it will most likely not be funded.
Chapel youth are willing to help shovel snow. They will come clear those driveways that the snowplows fill in. They are trying to earn money for various projects. Contact the Chapel at ext 2431 if you need help shoveling snow.
3/A ADA will probably be moving to Aberdeen Proving Ground in FY14. This is not a new development. This is in line with information we have been tracking.
Fiscal Uncertainty: DoD/Army is going to change. May seem difficult for those employees coming in since 9/11 when monies were plentiful. Army has been operating at a "Gold plated" standard. Must change to "Stainless Steel".

Shalom Ashley,
You probably meant this as an announcement to you actual family, and not a public one visible to all. Your family is actually LESS likely to see a Public Discussion!

I hoping to someday find my future soul-mate, lover and friend...and then some. I like a guy who is honest, kind, generous, attentive and funny. A successful man, yet not arrogant. Someone who is somewhat into health and fitness, so we can be healthy together. Since we are meeting online to start, initial attraction is important, but a great personality supersedes looks. I do admit I'm attracted to guys that are taller than me.Good hygiene is a must lol. Must love or at least like animals! PS~My pictures are all fairly recent :-)

There is good in a world of hate & violence, and this story and more like it must be told more often. A profound impact on my heart. It makes the case for the scripture "no more desire t do evil but to do good continually"

For the Phoenix Bird to fly out of the ashes, it can't dwell on them. It
has to fly out of them, leaving them in the past. You will never forget your
love but you can get rid of the hate. The past is determined, the future is
uncertain, the present is what you've got.
Live your life for life to have a life to live for.

When I got off the plane in Kigali in 2007 I knew genocide investigations was going to be a large part of my time there. I believed I would slowly understand how this could have taken place. Not the mechanics of it; that is a matter of record, but how a neighbor could kill the people living next to them. I no better understood as I got on the plane 3 years later. But by then I realized it was OK not to understand. If you understood then that implied some rationale, some logic to it. There wasn't. I know the impetus, but not how a man or woman kills their neighbor. And their other neighbor. And keeps doing it. Keeping lists. YOU may have not swung the panga, but when you followed up the lists as an assignments from your Umadugudugu you were/are accountable still. Being faithful to the job, tiring of it but still attempting to be efficient in it only makes it worse. Rwanda is beautiful now. Most especially because there is so much forgiveness there. The article describes a program very similar to the government sponsored legal proceedings called Gachacha. Google it.

Rwanda is beautiful. It is vibrant. It is clean and forward looking. It is a place stable and robust in moving into its future. Often a place with such a horrible past tries to forget it and move on. They do not. But they also do not let it pull down their hope for a better day tomorrow. Their faith in the future helps them to believe that the past is overcomable. There has been more death and killing in Rwanda than the whole Palestinian vs. Israeli conflict. But they are moving passed it and not letting it define them. They no longer differentiate between Hutu and Tutsi (of course they do) but the focus is more on being Rwandan, than being one of the two divisions. They are Rwandan. There is almost nothing brighter than when you engage a Rwandan and they flash that great smile. I miss being there,being with them and being part of a group there. I miss my brothers and sisters. Of course it has problems. But there is nothing worse than being in a place where they say,"yeah, this is the way it is" and accepting it. Rwanda is dedicated to change!

What of the thousands of women who were raped, but dare not speak of it lest
they be rejected by their families and society? What of the product of those
rapes--babies, now children, who are shunned by society and their mothers?
Much more work to be done.

Cunninghill, Arbroath Road, Forfar, DD8 2RL
Situated miles from the sea, Forfar presents some unusual bumps very much like a links course. The ground was once used for the drying of flax and the rolling swells that now cross many fairways are the results of this process. Meanwhile, a rich growth of conifer and larch trees form the avenues that are Forfar's other main characteristic. Although Old Tom Morris laid out the first course, James Braid was responsible for the present course layout in 1926. On the front nine, the outstanding hole is the fifth, a par three with its tee set back into the trees. It is a long carry with a steep bank ahead of the green.

text: Macha? Well, they're like Arabian Nights with must-move grooves, or perhaps Cornershop with less of a Beatles jones. Or, maybe not. "Until Your Temples Are Pounding," one of the disc's most intoxicating cuts, seems to cop from both Irish and Indian textures before revving up with heavy metal hugeness. This isn't typical public radio world music, but a refreshing burst of East vs. West engaged in a groovy handshake competition. There's plenty of indigenous instrumentation rubbing up against the usual guitar bass and drums culprits, but it never strays into the wide open fields of overindulgence; Macha tightens the leash on the festivities, reigning in 37 minutes of perfectly digestible fun. Like the psychedelic works of their close pals and fellow Georgians Olivia Tremor Control, every bubble of noise on See It Another Way is carefully planned and cunningly executed. --Jason Josephes

It's the first outbreak in the western hemisphere in 20 years.
Cholera has struck more than 1,500people in Haiti. 142 have died.
Dirty water flowing through the country's streets during the rainy season is spreading the disease.
Cholera is a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea and dehydration so severe victims can lose more than a quart of water in one hour. It can kill patients in one day.
World Health Officials say they have enough medicine to treat 100,000 cases, but there are question as to whether they can reach the people in time.

The Greenplum Database builds on the foundations of open source database PostgreSQL. It primarily functions as a data warehouse and utilizes a shared-nothing, massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture. In this architecture, data is partitioned across multiple segment servers, and each segment owns and manages a distinct portion of the overall data; there is no disk-level sharing nor data contention among segments.
Source: Wikipedia.
Unlike PostgreSQL, Greenplum database does not support binary option of copy command
Select Text Mode option to load data into greenplum
We did spend a lot of time optimizing our ETL software and here is what we were able to achieve so far:
Loading data into Oracle database via direct path loading from a textfile
Version 22.214.171.124: 28000 rec/second
Version 18.104.22.168: 46000 rec/second

Version 184.108.40.206: 94000 rec/second
Version 188.8.131.52: 101000 rec/second
There a lot of ways to make our software better, we will continue working on improving performance and will publish our results here.
In latest version we have introduced support for Global Variables
They are stored in the registry, this allows to use different settings on different computers.
Please be very careful with this option it is very use to make mistake and run transformation agains wrong database

Jennifer Lopez Changes Her Name: Just Call Her Lola (VIDEO)sweatpantsmom
Looks like Jennifer Lopez, aka J.Lo, Jenny From The Block, has taken on yet another identity. A new song, titled 'Fresh Out Of The Oven,' was released on the web today and credited to an artist named "Lola." But there's no disguising the singer's identity – it sounds exactly like Lopez. Hear the track and see the video after the jump.
The song, which was produced by the Neptunes, has a mellow dance beat and features lyrics by Latin rapper PitBull. The rapper talked to MTV last month about collaborating with Lopez. "Definitely something very, very sexy," Pit said of the track. "Produced by Pharrell [of the Neptunes], look out for it."
Lopez's record company Epic also confirmed the singer's identity. "It's a fun track she did for the streets," said the source. "It's not the first single."
So what do we call Lopez from now on? Lola? J.Lo? Jenny? And could this be confusing for the singer's twins, Max and Emme? Oh, right – they just call her mom.

Lira Rises to Month-High as Trade Deficit Falls for Eighth Month
The lira appreciated for a fifth day to the strongest in more than a month after Turkey's trade deficit declined for an eighth consecutive month, signaling a lower current-account gap. Bonds rose.
The currency gained 0.5 percent to 1.7933 per dollar at 5:06 p.m. in Istanbul, the highest on an intraday basis since June 21. Yields on two-year benchmark bonds fell 15 basis points, or 0.15 percentage point, to 7.62 percent, the lowest since January 2011.
Turkey's trade deficit declined to $7.2 billion from $10.2 billion a year ago, the statistics office in Ankara said on its website today. The median estimate of six economists surveyed by Bloomberg was for a shortfall of $7.9 billion. A record current-account gap last year spurred the world's biggest currency decline, sending the lira 18 percent lower against the dollar.
"This figure indicates a very low current-account deficit around $3.7 billion in June," Gizem Oztok Altinsac, an economist at Garanti Investment in Istanbul, said in an e-mailed note. "This is positive for the Turkish lira."
The current-account shortfall shrank to 8.5 percent of GDP in May, or $67 billion, from $77 billion in December.

Israel, Palestinians to Meet Amid Efforts to Defuse Crisis
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed to sit down today to try to defuse a crisis that threatens to scuttle U.S.-sponsored peace talks.
Negotiations hit an impasse last week after Israel delayed a scheduled Palestinian prisoner release and the Palestinians retaliated by resuming their campaign to extend international recognition of a state of Palestine. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who has been shepherding the talks for more than eight months, is deciding whether to continue the efforts.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riad Malki told Voice of Palestine radio today that negotiators are scheduled to meet. Asked whether he expected progress, Malki replied, "I don't think anything is going to come of this meeting."
Government spokesman Liran Dan said the Palestinians are sabotaging negotiations, telling Army Radio that while Israel wants talks to progress, it won't be at "any price."
Israel Radio, citing unidentified officials, said Israel has agreed to go back to the talks if the Palestinians suspend their diplomatic campaign.
The crisis atmosphere deepened earlier this week after Kerry said Israel's announcement of new settlement construction derailed the talks, a criticism Israeli officials rejected.
"John Kerry knows very well that the conditions for starting negotiations didn't include any limitations on our building, and certainly none on building in Jerusalem," Communications Minister Gilad Erdan said today on Army Radio.
'End of the Road'
Yesterday in Washington, where Kerry met with Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said her boss wasn't engaging in a "blame game."
Israeli Economy Minister Naftali Bennett, whose Jewish Home party opposes the creation of a Palestinian state, said the talks have "reached the end of the road." In an interview with Israel Radio, he repeated his call for the annexation of major West Bank settlement blocks.
Negotiations deadlocked just as Kerry was trying to win agreement to extend them beyond the nine months the sides consented to July. His original target had been to broker a final peace accord by the end of this month, an aspiration that fizzled as Israelis and Palestinians accused each other of undermining talks.

China's Stocks Advance, Capping Biggest Weekly Gain in Asia
Chinese stocks rose today, capping the biggest gain among major Asian indexes this week, as Greece signaled it won't hold a referendum on a bailout package and on speculation China will take more measures to boost growth.
Jiangxi Copper Co. climbed the most in a week as commodity prices jumped after Greece moved closer to accepting a bailout and the European Central Bank unexpectedly cut interest rates. China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. and PetroChina Co. climbed at least 1.5 percent on speculation that the government may allow refiners to adjust prices on their own. China Life Insurance Co., the largest insurer, rose for an 11th day on the prospect improving stock and bond markets will boost investment returns.
"The rate cut and recent progress on the Greek debt problem help local investors psychologically by increasing their appetite for risk assets," said Zhang Ling, general manager at Shanghai River Fund Management Co. "Domestically, the period for policy over-tightening is over and that'll help the economy get on a smooth track and is positive for stocks."
The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the bigger of China's stock exchanges, climbed for a fourth day, rising 20.20 points, or 0.8 percent, to 2,528.29 at the close. It gained 2.2 percent this week, the most among major Asian markets ranked by Bloomberg. The CSI 300 Index advanced 0.7 percent to 2,763.75.
The Shanghai Composite has rebounded 9.1 percent from this year's low on Oct. 21, after the government announced measures to help small businesses through easier access to bank loans and said it will lower the threshold for payment on value-added and business taxes for small companies.
Policy Support
Chinese stocks have advanced this week as some manufacturing and non-manufacturing reports signaled a slowdown in the economy, increasing speculation the government will cut banks' reserve requirement ratios or introduce more fiscal measures to bolster growth as inflation eases.
The nation's inflation may slow to 5.3 percent or 5.4 percent in October, according to Zhu Jianfang, a Beijing-based economist at Citic Securities Co. The figure is scheduled for release on Nov. 9. Consumer prices rose 6.1 percent in September.
"Recent news flow suggests policy loosening may have already started," Mingchun Sun, the Hong Kong-based head of China Research at Daiwa Capital Markets, said in a report dated yesterday.
Media reports from Hong Kong and China that some Chinese banks had their loan quotas being increased for November are "most likely true," according to Sun. New Chinese bank loans may exceed 600 billion yuan ($94.6 billion) this month and next and full-year loan growth may reach 7.5 trillion yuan, he said, cutting the probability of an economic "hard-landing" to 5 percent from 25 percent for the fourth quarter.
Greek Bailout
The Shanghai Composite has fallen 10 percent this year after the central bank raised interest rates three times and lifted the reserve-requirement ratio to curb inflation that's near a three-year high. It's valued at 11.9 times estimated earnings, compared with a record low of 10.8 times on Oct. 21, according to weekly data compiled by Bloomberg.
Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos, speaking to party lawmakers in Parliament in Athens, said the nation won't hold a referendum. Just hours after saying Greeks need to decide on whether their future is in the euro, Prime Minister George Papandreou said the country belongs in the currency bloc.
The European central bank unanimously lowered the benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 1.25 percent, confounding 51 of 55 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. ECB President Mario Draghi said the rate cut happened partly because "what we're observing now is slow growth heading toward a mild recession."
Commodity Stocks
Jiangxi Copper, China's biggest producer of the metal, rose 1.8 percent to 28.68 yuan. Tongling Nonferrous Metals Group Co., the second largest, gained 1.6 percent to 21.85 yuan. Zijin Mining Group Co., the largest gold producer, advanced 2.2 percent to 4.70 yuan. Europe is China's biggest export market, accounting for more than a fifth of its overseas shipments.
"We are expecting at this stage the bailout package to go through," Lorraine Tan, director of Asia equity research at Standard & Poor's, said in a Bloomberg Television interview from Hong Kong. "Our strategy is to stay positive in markets where there are good domestic stories, we're talking mainly about China and Indonesia."
Free Pricing
China Petroleum, Asia's biggest oil refiner, also known as Sinopec, climbed 2.6 percent to 7.41 yuan. PetroChina, the nation's biggest oil company, gained 1.5 percent to 10.11 yuan.
China, which controls fuel prices to curb inflation, may permit refiners to make "appropriate" changes, China Securities Journal reported, citing an unidentified person.
Huang Wensheng, Sinopec's Beijing-based spokesman, declined to comment on the China Securities report. Mao Zefeng, PetroChina's Beijing-based spokesman, didn't answer two calls to his mobile phone. Two phone calls to the news department of China's economic planner went unanswered.
China Life advanced 1.1 percent to 18.24 yuan, capping a 23 percent gain over 11 days. The winning streak is the longest since the stock started trading in Shanghai in January 2007.
Citigroup Inc. said in a report that it favors insurers, banks and other cyclical companies including information technology, consumer discretionary, materials and energy.
"The low for insurers' earnings has appeared and a decline in bond yields will partially boost the investment incomes for insurers," Tao Jinggang, a strategist at Sinolink Securities Co., said in a report yesterday as he recommended insurers and brokerages. "It's a good time to increase allocations and jump on to the rebound."
The Bloomberg China-US 55 Index, the measure of the most-traded U.S.-listed Chinese companies, rose 0.3 percent yesterday to the highest in a week.

Tasty, colorful and so fresh-tasting! I made no changes to the recipe other than layering the ingredients for presentation. This is a great way to use the fresh summer produce with a greek flair. Thanx for sharing!
This was a really yummy salad! The only change I made was not to add the green bell peppers (just because I don't like raw peppers) and it still turned out great! I didn't even tell my husband that the recipe called for green bell peppers and he still gave it rave reviews!
This is a wonderful salad. I used 1 green pepper and 1 red pepper. I increased the olive oil and olives and added lemon juice and black pepper. I had a small amount leftover so ate it the next day. It's even better the second day. Thanks for sharing.
Being Greek-born I appreciate recipes with tons of flavor, especially recipes with feta cheese, and this happens to be one of them. I had cucumbers from my garden still in the fridge wrapped tightly with plastic wrap to preserve them, and I wanted to use some up. I was impressed with this salad. I increased the olive oil and kalamata olives and added black pepper, lots of black pepper! We enjoyed this salad tonight and will make it again soon! thanks for sharing, Kittencal:)
Fabulous eleventh hour find for the Zaar World Tour! I followed PanNan's suggestion and added lemon juice and fresh ground pepper (thank you, PanNan), and I used red peppers instead of green – simply because I find them more flavoursome. I love it that this is a salad I can make and take to work for lunches for a few days, that it's not a "serve immediately" salad! I love all the ingredients in this salad, but particularly those kalamata olives. I'll be making this often, Little Italy! Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
Made this salad for dinner, but did not have the red onion....had to use a Vadilia...did not matter, it was still a fantastic salad.
Paula G's photo convinced me to try this salad and I am so glad I did! I also added the lemon juice and some fresh pepper!!! Oh my! thanks Megan!!!!!!
Very good! After reading the reviews, I follwed PanNan and added lemon juice and fresh ground pepper. Also, I was able to reduce the olive oil by half. This is something I will be making again. Thanks!
I used lemon juice also, it made an awesome salad! Thank you Little Italy!!
Oh how I loved this. I think I found a new salad. This is so good. I did leave out the green pepper as I do not care for it but I don't think that makes a big difference. It has everything in it I love and with the olives, they give a very deep flavor you do not get from regular olives

Hi Josh,
I'm hoping there is a simple answer for this. I'm using Meteor slide with Weaver 2.2.6 and eCommerce plugin on http://hivhomekit.com.
The images have all been uploaded at the required size and Meteor's settings are set to display 3 slides. The slide show works fine on the home page and posts pages, but on the product pages, such as http://hivhomekit.com/products-page/prostate-cancer-rapid-instant-test-kits/prostate-instant-test-kits only 2 of the 3 slides display.
All of the slides have been saved as .png format at the correct slide show size.
The CSS set in Weaver Head section is:
float:left; -700px;}'
'.meteor-slides {
margin: 0px 0px 0 0;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
z-index: 1;
overflow: hidden;
float: right;}'
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This is the first time I've encountered this despite using similar configurations on other websites.
Thanks very much.

Synthesis of well-defined comb-like graft (co)polymers by nucleophilic substitution reaction between living polymers and polyhalohydrocarbon
A series of graft (co)polymers were synthesized by nucleophilic substitution reaction between iodinated 1,2-polybutadiene (PB-I, backbone) and living polymer lithium (side chains). The coupling reaction between PB-I and living polymers can finish within minutes at room temperature, and high conversion (up to 92%) could be obtained by effectively avoiding side reaction of dimerization when living polymers were capped with 1,1-diphenylethylene. By virtue of living anionic polymerization, backbone length, side chain length, and side chain composition, as well as graft density, were well controlled. Tunable molecular weight of graft (co)polymers with narrow molecular weight distribution can be obtained by changing either the lengths of side chain and backbone, or the graft density. Graft copolymers could also be synthesized with side chains of multicomponent polymers, such as block polymer (polystyrene-b-polybutadiene) and even mixed polymers (polystyrene and polybutadiene) as hetero chains. Thus, based on living anionic polymerization, this work provides a facile way for modular synthesis of graft (co)polymers via nucleophilic substitution reaction between living polymers and polyhalohydrocarbon (PB-I). © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New analytical upper bounds are derived for the performance of symbol-by-symbol maximum-likelihood (ML) Abend-Fritchman-type detectors for multi-amplitude/phase-modulated digital sequences transmitted over time-dispersive (generally) time-variant linear channels introducing finite intersymbol interference (ISI) and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The proposed bounds are obtained starting from a novel form of the standard Bhattacharyya bound and take explicitly into account the allowed decoding delay. Both deterministic and random multipath slow-fading Rayleigh transmission ISI channels are considered. Simulation results obtained for some test channels of practical interest show the tightness of the derived analytical bounds

I have a windows 7 computer with an on board graphics card (430 nforce) that only had 256 mb of memory max. This gt610 card has been a huge improvement. I uploaded before and after pictures of the Windows experience index. These numbers show that desktop performance was only slightly improved going from 3.4 to 4.2, but gaming graphics was greatly improved. That number went from 3.2 to 6.2. On pretty much all games I had to play on lowest settings or their would be horrible lag. Or there was so much lag on even lowest settings that it was unplayable because I couldn't move my character at all. Now I am able to play mmorpg games like ether saga on high settings with no lag. I also am playing Serious Sam 3 on medium/high settings with 1600x900 resolution and getting no lag (30 frames per second). There is only a very tiny slow down if I max the settings. I am playing Alice the Madness Returns on high settings/resolution. Only a slight slow down on max settings. Other games like Bioshock (1) run on max settings. Skyrim is on high settings and lags enough to be annoying. Would be more playable on lower settings, but before this new card, I couldn't even play the game it got stuck at the intro movie. I am confident that I would be able to at least play without lag any new game out there, even if I had to put it on lower settings. It supports directx 11 and physx. The physx on Alice makes the game AWESOME! It also supports a long list of games on the market that are in 3-D! Alice the Madness Returns is one of these games and it truly looks 3-D. I wanted to reach into my monitor it looked so real! You just turn on 3-D is the nVidia control panel and you can look at 3d pics/vids/games. You can use red/blue glasses or others more high end viewers. When installing this card, make sure to push it into the pci-e slot all the way or your computer will not recognize it. Also, update the drivers using the cd, restart your computer then go to the nVidia site and download the new updates, or the card won't be running at it's full potential. Windows update may also help. I had to go into the bios at startup and change the video card slot to be default pci-e as mine was set to onboard. I have an emachines 1330. It has 8gb RAM, 2.4GH duo processor. This is a great card for the money! Run some searches for the speed of this card and compare it to others and do some research on what all the numbers mean so you can be confident that you are getting what you need. I would recommend this card to anyone who wants to play games but needs something really cheap!
For the price the performance of this video card is incredible. It can run Oblivion & Fallout 3 on maximum settings. Can run Skyrim & GTA 4 on high with tweaked settings. The card gives my windows experience index score a 5.3 on gaming graphics and a 4.3 for desktop graphics. As for power requirements the card only pulls 29 watts. And i have it running fine on a 250 watt PSU with no issues. Overall i'd say this is a great product if you want to be able to play modern games and watch HD videos while on a budget.
well i wasnt expecting much from this card but it kick bum!! plays crysis on high and far cry 2 on ultra high.
This is by far the best video card to buy for video gamer's. Worth every penny!!
Easy to install, but the fan was set to always "on" at 100%.
Took me awhile to figure out how to set it down.
Play Skyrim on it at ultra setting.
This card is a good upgrade from integrated Graphics for someone who is looking to do some light to moderate gaming and video work. It is by no means a high end card, but it is well worth the money for the casual gamer.
It was remarkably easy to install. My windows 7 automatically recognized it and prompted me to download the most up to date drivers automatically.
I've played Star Wars TFU and it does fine with settings on low to medium. On high, it lags badly. But considering the NVIDIA site does not recommend using this card to play TFU, I'd say it is performing better then advertized.
for a cheap one slot 2gb card this thing works great, but the Fan on it goes out pretty quick and overheats cuasing it to fail after a few months unless you keep up on regular maintenance. But as far as gaming goes, the 2GB doesn't process as fast as most other cards, id recommend just going for the GT640 for a similar product
All I can say is that this is the best performance by a graphics card that I have ever had. The price was unbeatable through Walmart, especially with free site to store shipping! My dual monitors are clear and crisp, and video performance is outstanding.
It's not the best card in the world, but for my XP powered dell business computer, it boosted the performance significantly.
This graphics card has a good gpu and a lot of buffer memory.
No more stalling and jitters.

Video: Is Anyone Eating Ice Cream in New York's Record-Breaking Cold?
At least one tourist bought a frozen yogurt in Times Square today.
There's nothing quite like enjoying a frozen dairy treat on a hot day. That's why there are countless ice cream and frozen yogurt joints in the Big Apple — including a ton around Times Square. But on the coldest January 7 in New York City since 1896, what kind of maniac would buy fro-yo or ice cream? We headed to the tourist mecca during the lunch rush to find out. As it turns out, at least one visitor from Texas considered frozen yogurt to be an irreplaceable component of the New York experience.

From CNN:
What were they talking about?
Hillary Clinton and John Edwards met privately backstage following a very contentious Democratic presidential debate in this coastal city, sources with both campaigns confirm to CNN.
The meeting took place in the Edwards campaign green room.
I can't imagine Edwards would take the VP slot again… so what were they talking about?

I argue that it has been hard to make progress on Coase's theory of the firm agenda because of the difficulty of formalizing haggling costs. I propose an approach that tries to move things forward using the idea of aggrievement costs, and apply it to the question of whether a transaction should be placed inside a firm (in-house production) or in the market place (outsourcing).

Lifetimes Unfold on Scarborough's Sands
One summer, I stood on a platform in the Junior Miss department of Jordan Marsh at Rhode Island's Warwick Mall and watched my favorite stockboy wheel overloaded racks of men's suits and women's coats through the aisles. It was 1973, and I was a Marsha Jordan Girl, one of eight high school kids who modeled for the store. At Christmas we wore suggestive lingerie and expensive jewelry and spritzed perfume on women's husbands on Men's Night in hopes they'd spend lots of money on holiday gifts for their wives. In September, we walked a makeshift runway in back-to-school clothes. And in summer we mannequin-modeled, dressed in hot pants or gypsy skirts, our faces shiny with Bonne Bell blush and lip gloss, as we stood on those platforms with instructions not to move. No matter what.
I stood that summer, frozen in place, and willed my stockboy to deliver a rack of something to Junior Miss. He always did, usually with one or two other stockboys. They'd park their racks, then do their best to make us laugh. Funny faces, silly jokes. My friend Beth, standing still beside me, would roll her eyes. "Why doesn't he ask you out already?" she'd whisper between clenched teeth when they finally left. It was the same question Beth and I debated every day at Scarborough Beach.
Scarborough is a sprawling state beach where even now blankets lie so close together you can almost feel the heat from strangers' bodies beside you. Radios compete for attention. Kids running past kick sand on you. The air, of course, smells like salt. But also French fries, clam cakes, coconut suntan lotion.
In 1973, they hadn't yet built the sleek new concession stands, or fixed the boardwalks, or put in showers and toilets that actually worked. In 1973, Scarborough was a crowded, hot beach. Down the road, East Coast kids emulated Californians by trying to surf our small waves. A bar called Schiller's filled with barefoot teenagers who went there to dance every weekend night. Take-out chowder and clam shacks lined the far end of the road. And Beth and I took turns driving the hour ride there every day.
We wore matching bikinis — hers hot pink, mine lime green. We spread our blanket, letting our identical long, straight hair — hers dark brown, mine sandy blond — fan out around us. We covered ourselves in Coppertone, undid our straps to avoid tan lines, closed our eyes, and talked. Mostly, we talked about boys. I'd recently broken up with my steady boyfriend, but she still had hers, and she told me their plans: what they'd name their children and what kind of dog they planned to own.
Jordan Marsh — no, the whole state of Rhode Island — seemed to be full of cute boys that summer. The boy who worked at Waldenbooks took me sailing. The boy who worked in Linens took me to the movies, twice. I went dancing in Newport with a boy who was visiting his aunt, who lived next door to my aunt. A friend of my brother's — a college boy! — took me to a play at Brown University. We discussed these boys, their merits and flaws. We ate Popsicles — hers blue, mine root beer — and pondered my possibilities.
Back then, a boy's car was as important as almost anything else about him. The GTO, the Vega with the fat white racing stripe, the Opel, the Bug — they all said something about the boys who drove them. We discussed that, too. Was the boy who drove that Vega trustworthy? Was an Opel too stuck-up? We always ended with the stockboy, who drove a Mustang convertible, the perfect car. He must have a girlfriend, we decided with a sigh.
By afternoon, one of us would realize that we needed to leave: We'd have to drive back home and shower and get to Jordan Marsh by six. Reluctantly, we packed our things, shook the sand from our blanket, and walked the hot and sweaty path across the beach, along the splintered wooden boardwalk, across the steamy asphalt parking lot to our car. That was when we paused and sighed and looked back at the beach, not wanting to leave yet. Scarborough Beach was a metaphor for us — chaotic and busy and seductive. The ocean shone in the summer sun, as endless as all the hopes and possibilities our 16-year-old selves possessed. Beth looked at me and said, "He's going to ask you out. I just know it."
That very night, or another one just like it, that stockboy did ask me out. We sat in his Mustang with the top down in the Jordan Marsh parking lot and kissed a little and made plans to go dancing at the beach, at Schiller's. So in a perfect end to that summer, and with perfect symmetry, we went on that date, and he held me close while we danced to a Bread song, and then we walked on the beach and kissed like crazy. That beach! That boy! Those kisses!
The next day, Beth and I were back on our blanket with our melting Popsicles while I told her every detail. We giggled and dug our toes into the warm sand. Then we raced, headfirst, into the waves, and let one, the best one, lift us up and carry us back to the crowded shore.
Rhode Island has beaches with dangerous surf; beaches so protected that parents take their little children there; pristine private beaches; rocky beaches; beaches with dunes and plovers' nests; for a time there was even a nude beach. But for me, Rhode Island had just one beach: Scarborough.
Every summer morning, my mother and my Auntie Dora packed up one of their oversized Chevy station wagons with coolers of food, beach towels, and us kids and drove to Scarborough. They smoked cigarettes. We pretended we were married to the Beatles. AM radio played "Yummy, yummy, yummy, I've got love in my tummy …" and "Come on, baby, light my fire …" and we sang along, loud, our sweaty bodies pressed together. The ride took forever. We grew sluggish. Just when we believed we'd never get there, one of us spotted the ocean in the distance. We rolled down our windows and inhaled the salty air, rejuvenated.
The parking lot was already overflowing, and my mother circled like a shark, wanting the best, the closest space. They had a strategy: My aunt jumped from the car and ran to an empty spot, holding it until we could get there. The people who didn't think of such a great plan, who simply drove to the space rather than send a squatter, beeped their horns and yelled for her to move. But Auntie Dora held fast. When my mother pulled in and we piled out, carloads of people glared at us. But we didn't care. We were at the beach!
