Abstract—Designation of iris is one of biometric recognition methods .That use modal recognition technique and is base on pictures whit high equality of eye iris .Iris modals in comparison whit other properties in biometrics system are more resistance and credit .In this paper we use from fractals technique for iris recognition. Fractals are important in these aspects that can express complicated pictures with applying several simple codes. Until, That cause to iris tissue change from depart coordination to polar coordination and adjust for light rates. While performing other pre-process, fault rates will be less than EER, and lead to decreasing recognition time, account table cost and grouping precise improvement. Keywords-Biometrics; Identitydistinction;Identity erification; Iris modals.
Daugman technique [3, 9] is one of oldest iris recognition system. These systems include all of iris recognition process: Taking picture, assembling, coding tissue and adaption. A. Daugman techniques Daugman algorithm [3,9] is the famous iris algorithm. In this algorithm, iris medaling by two circles than aren't necessary certified. every circle defined whit there parameters ( xo , y o , r ) that ( x o , y o ) are center of circle with r radios . Use - a differential – integral performer for estimating 3 parameter in every circle bound. All pictures search rather to increasing r radius to maximize following Equation (1): G (r ) * I ( x, y ) ds 2 r
Biometric use for identity distinction of input sample compare to one modal and in some case use for recognition special people by determined properties .Using password or identity card. Can create some problems like losing forgetting thief. So using from biometric property for reason of special property will be effective. Biometric parameters dived to group base on figure one [1]: Physiologic: this parameter is related to fig.1 of body human. Behavioral: this parameter is related to behavior of one person.
x0 , y0 , r
In this formulate ( x , y ) is picture light intensify , ds is curve circle , 2 r use for normalization in tetras G( r ) is Gus filter as used for flotation , and * is convolution performed (agent). III. SUGGESTIVE ALGORITHM In this algorithm, we use from new method for identity distinction base on fractal techniques, specially used fractal codes as coding iris tissue modal. For testing suggestive method, we used from available pictures in picture base of bath university. General steps of iris distinction would be as follow. Clearly indicate advantages, limitations and possible applications.

A. Iris assembling The main goal of this part is recognition of iris area in eye pictures. For this reason, we should recognize internal and external bound in iris by two circles. One method for assembling is using from fractal dimension. In Fig.3 we present dimension of Hough circle and in Fig. 4 show the Iris normalization, is more than 1 threshold. For accounting of fractal diminution, the picture dived to Blocks with 40 pixel width. As showed in picture, pupil and eye- lid areas recognized very good.
Then separated iris tissue control for light intensifies. Means picture contrast increased to iris tissue recognize very good. In Fig.6 you can see sample of norm led iris tissue.
Figure 6. Diagram of normal iris picture.
C. Iris tissue coding In this step, we should coding iris tissue pixels set, and use it for comparing between 2 iris pictures. In suggestive methods. We use from fractal code. So fractal code of normal iris account. And this code as one modal saves in data base. To used for recognition and comparing iris pictures. In next step, we should encoding input picture with this fractal codes. So I need to change all pictures to standard size. For accounting fractal code first normal iris picture change to one rectangle 64*180 pixels. So fractal codes for different iris have same length.fig.7.
Figure 3. output hough circle
Figure 7. Normal iris picture in diminution 64*180 pixels
Figure 4. Iris normalization
B. Iris normalization In this step, should decant coordination change to polar coordination. For this reason , 128 perfect circle next to pupil center and with starting from pupil radius toward out , separate from iris , pour pixels on these circles in one rectangle , in this way iris that was the form of circle trope , change to rectangle, it means iris from Decoct coordination change to polar coordination. In fig.5 you can watch iris polar coordination. Since changing in light level, pupil environment of iris changed. We should control input light. However, it may person interval different from camera, but size of iris doesn't same in different pictures. So with choosing this 128 prefect circles iris normalization done in respect to size.
D. Change range to wide blocks Main step in accounting fractal picture coding is changing range to wide blocks. For every wide block copy of range block compare to that block. W changing is combination of geometrics and light changing. In case of I grey picture, if z express pixel light intensify in (x, y), we can show w as matrix as follow:
x W y z a c 0 b d 0 0 x 0 y s z e f o
f, a, b, c, d, e coefficient, control main aspect of changing geometrical. While s, o recognized contrast and both of them recognize light parameters (fig.8). Changing geometrics parameters limit to hardness adaption. [11]

Comparing range wide in a 3 steps process. One of base eight directions applied on selected range block. Then, oriented range block, become minimum till be equal to wide block Rk. If we want general changed be contradictor, wide should be range block [11]. However, present ting picture as set of changed blocks, don't present precise copy, but it´s good approximate. Minimizing fault between Rk and w (Dj) can minimize fault between estimated and main picture. If ri and d and I=1'…'n be pixel amounts relate to blocks having same size Rk and shrink , fault and ERR is as following[11] :
D ( x'y)
0 i N
i 1
( s .d i
ri ) 2
F. Suggestive method simulation Suggestive method for identity recognition performed on subset iris picture data base in Bath University. Available subset include 1000 picture from 25 different persons. 20 pictures from left eye and 20 picture form right eye were showed. Since iris left and right eye is different in every person. Among every 50 eyes, from 20 pictures, 6 pictures are considered for teaching and testing (fig.9.10.11).

Figure 9. curve ROC relate to suggestive identity verification system.
One of advantage of suggestive method for iris recognition is that when registering person, we save input fractal code of person iris picture as modal in data base, and so with regard to compressing property of fractal codes, we have less weight data base. E. Grouping and adapting In this respect we should compare input picture with available modals in data base system, and achieve similarity between them. For this reason, iris norm led picture encoding with available fractal codes in data base. For recognition similarity between input and encoding picture, used form interval between them. Nominal similarity size is 0 and 1 [10]. Interval form mincosci defined base on soft LP:
d p (x'y)
p i 0

In this paper, we have proposed a new method base on fractal techniques for identity verification and recognition with help of eye iris modals. For a lot of reasons that iris modals have ran the than other biometrics properties it's more fantastic. In assembling part. It says that with using of light in tensely process techniques and modeling performance and Anny margin or can recognize iris internal bound. In normalization part centrifuged rules toward pupil center and starting radius toward out, can determine noise originate from eye-lash and eye-lid. Since in coding and encoding iris picture and we use fractal codes iris fractal codes save as modals in data base. This method has same advantages like less weight of database .more security and relative good precise. when entering one person, iris picture encoding on fractal codes for one step, to Euclid interval and interval minimum e method can use .In suggestive system normalization part, iris tissue change form depart coordination to polar coordination and adjust light in tensely, while performing other preprocess, fault rate ERR will be less than this amount .If used data base in iris distinction system be big, search time will be a lot. So, in grouping and adapting iris modals for reason of decreasing distinction time, decreasing accounting cost and improving grouping precise, can use form diminution fractal. Also, it is suggest using fractal codes as iris tissue property and using coding techniques fractal picture set for confine fractal codes

Ferguson Police Officers Slam Pregnant Woman To Ground
This video is neither safe for work nor comfortable to watch. It is the raw emotion of angry citizens confronting a police force that is not working for them or their community. It is two and a half minutes of raw distrust, frustration, and anger.
It is also brutal. I'm sorry, but slamming a pregnant woman onto the ground because she talked back is way out of line. And that's only the tip of the iceberg. Monday evening, pictures flowed across Twitter of protesters with their hands up in the air while cannisters of tear gas were thrown at them. Police shot protesters with rubber bullets, and chased away the press who was there recording their activity.
They shut down all of the streets and then informed residents they could not go home, that the streets were closed and no one would be allowed through.
There is a history in Ferguson. The community is a working-class community with both black and white families living there. Yet there are only three black cops and over 50 white ones. Arrest statistics are startling.
This screengrab from CNN was rolling around Twitter earlier Monday. Those stats are mind-boggling.
WOW. RT @nateog91: Jesus. #Ferguson http://t.co/DAsjaf0cNc

Do you think perhaps there's a long-standing issue here?
Here are some other scenes posted in real time.
(note and update: Justice Putnam says in the comments that this is a shot of Oakland during the Occupy protests, which it is. Don't do that, folks. Do the real deal or don't bother)

Mike Brown's family and community has a right to protest. When their hands are in the air and they aren't brandishing weapons, there's no excuse for this kind of police response. Where was the riot gear and tear gas when Cliven Bundy's pals were taking aim at BLM agents with high-powered rifles?
Oh, right. White.

After three years of small-steps planning and abbreviated events calendars, the "Bring Our Music Back - Summer Nights at Harkness" concert series has announced a wildly diverse and expanded 2013 season.
Starting on July 18 with a soul retrospective - Larry Marshak's Tribute to the Marvelettes, Platters and Cornell Gunter's Coasters - BOMB presents five consecutive weeks of concerts in Harkness State Park in Waterford, ranging from rock and jazz to pop and opera. The headliners comprise seven decades' worth of legendary singer-songwriters and artists.
Also booked: folk-pop star Judy Collins (July 25), influential rock legend Leon Russell (July 31), the elegant jazz legacy of The Duke Ellington Orchestra (Aug. 8) and an "Opera Under the Stars" finale with tenor Carl Tenor and the Connecticut Lyric Opera Orchestra (Aug. 15).
"We're growing. We're so thrilled about where we stand across the board," says Gail Stevens, executive director of the nonprofit organization which, last year, secured a five-year contract with the State of Connecticut to hold the Bring Our Music Back events in Harkness.
Noting the success of recent BOMB seasons, in which musical styles began to expand stylistically beyond the classical concerts associated with the site's popular Summer Music series, Stevens says this year's season is decidedly diverse.
"Frank (Bombaci, Sr., the outfit's chairman of the board) was adamant about having cross-generational appeal," she says. "We want to have something for everyone. In coming up with this lineup, we're really trying to speak to the history of music and its evolution to current day."
BOMB also is dedicated to the support of younger, area artists. Each concert will have a support act selected from the region that stylistically complements the headliner.
Of course, part of the timeless appeal of the summer concerts tradition in Harkness is the ritual of friends and families gathering to celebrate the season through music, food and drink, and social interaction. To that end, picnicking is once again encouraged. Bring your own, or picnic dinners will be available on-site or pre-ordered from Coffee's Country Market in Old Lyme
There are a variety of ticket options. Advance lawn seats are $25 in advance and $35 at the gate ($20 each for groups of 10 or more). Two subscription packages are available. Choose general admission lawn seats to any three concerts for $69, or for all five events for $99.
In addition, reserved seats at VIP tables are offered for $125 per person and include beer/wine, hors d'oeuvres, a picnic dinner, meet & greet with the headliner and a swag bag. VIP subscriptions are available, too: three shows for $375 or all five for $499.
As always, active-duty military personnel and children age 12 and younger get in free.
"The idea is to keep it simple but beautifully produced," Stevens says. "We've been so grateful for the community involvement these past three years. We are very aware that people loved Summer Music, and we want it to be that way again. We've worked very hard make this happen, and our five-year goal is to have a season with 10 concerts."

Marlins Look to Pound Brew
Milwaukee stumbles down for three-game set
It's hard not to respect the Milwaukee Brewer organization's unwavering commitment to inebriation. The team was named after the region's rich beer-brewing history; the namesake of its stadium (Miller Park) is the Miller Brewing Co.; and its mascot, Bernie the Brewer, used to cheer for the home team from a beer-barreled chalet and celebrated home runs by sliding into a beer stein.
Even more impressive, though, has been the Fish's success against this NL Central foe; they won four and lost just two to the Wisconsin team last year. The Brewers come into town starting Monday, July 4. This might be the perfect time to face the Brew crew, whose season started spinning out of control in June. After the club's hottest start since 1998, the Brewers came unglued faster than a Florida State University quarterback on a bender, limping toward next week's All-Star break hopelessly behind the Cardinals. June was no kinder to the Marlins, who look to make up ground in the highly competitive NL East.

And then my daughter...there's nothing like having a near-teen daughter to remind me of the passing of time. It's like when a song is played on the radio from ten years ago and you feel like it was yesterday that you last heard it. There are subtleties; I see myself in her. She has the same physique that I did, although she's stronger and more confident in her body than I ever was. I write about her less here than I used to as I am conscious that she could read this - although I doubt she does. One day she might...
My observation at the moment is that she is so full of the promise of youth; that unique time when the whole world stands before her and it's almost overwhelming to know where to take it. I have to say that in the years of parenting that I have experienced (and I am a novice compared to some, I know) the pride I feel for her just grows. There can be confusion though as her actions now don't always invoke unequivocal pride, whereas when she was younger they did. I guess the point is: I feel pride despite her actions and maybe that is what unconditional mother love is all about.
It's funny how reaching a school holiday would normally prompt logistical planning to rival the military - but now it's more like a lovely free fall from the rigour of term time. I used to fret and schedule and generally 'get through' the holidays whereas now, significantly less so. They will have nearly a month off so I am sure by the end I will be longing for some time alone (without dinosaur questions) but for now it feels like a treat to have their company. I guess as my children get older the time they spend alone with me will dwindle. We now rarely go away on holiday without a pack of friends as it works better that way. We are skiing next week with three other families, for example.
I am reading this book of short stories 'Dear Life' by Alice Munro, who at the ripe age of eighty-something was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature last year. The book is so achingly good in a truly subtle way; she writes what she knows and there is a lot of autobiographical detail about Canada that I really enjoyed. What I love the most about her work though is that it's not always jazzy; it's gripping and human and real. It doesn't always have spark and that is exactly the kind of honest writing I aspire to. Sometimes life is quiet and sometimes it is loud and I am fine with either. I hope my readers are too.
Meanwhile I saw this quote and thought I should take a leaf out of that particular book. I admit I have devoted way too much time lately pondering my age and what it all means; milestone birthdays do that to you. I am going to stop now and just get on with things.
One enduring point of age-frustration remains however and that is what to wear! I still spend a disproportionate amount of time considering if I am the 'right' age for something or other and fervently wishing that I had made more daring fashion choices in my younger years. Was it that the 1990s/2000s were a dry old time for fashion? I look back now and think what a missed opportunity; my college wardrobe consisted largely of Levi 501's, a shirt and Chelsea boots. I'd wear the same now (except that skinnies rule my jean world). I never embraced the bohemian surfer chick. Or the preppy New England girl. Or really anything. Maybe this is why I love the 1980's? Madonna's like a virgin phase was my one sartorial rebellion. Ah well, I can now try and perfect the elegant 40 year old; no mean feat but I am endeavouring.

- Surveyor comments regarding Ultrasonic Testing: "I used a calibrated Cygnus III Ultrasonic Thickness gauge to search for wastage of the aluminum hull below the waterline. I did not have access to the original plans to determine the thickiness of the metal on her launch date. I made several hundred readings. The results follow:"
- "The topsides from the hull/deck joint to the single chine measured between .258", and .246 inches. This indicates a probable original thickness of .258", or 1/4". Readings are in thousands of an inch, so measurements that are greater than nominal thickness are normal, reflecting variations of manufacture."
- "From the chine to the keel, the thickness varied from '329" to .316". 5/16" = .3125, so the hull plating was greater than 5/16", but less than 3/8". The keel thicknesses were between .376" and '371", indicating a probable original thickness of .375" or 3/8". The hull was free from any pitting. I chipped away some anti-fouling paint and found an intact barrier coat had been applied against the metal. No pits were found. I believe the builders used aluminum that had an original thickness greater than 5/16" and no significant wastage has occurred since launch."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was going to start paying child support and I need to pay the mother total of $65 but she doesnt accept the money I was giving to her, and I need to pay her because thats the order, she told me she cannot accept any child support from me, She said I have to give the money to her Lawyer then her lawyer will give the money on her, why its like that? are they planning something? my due is March 1, 2013 and need to pay her the $65,
Look at your orders to see where the child support is supposed to go. It is odd that she would request you send the attorney the child support - but to cover yourself send it to the lawyer with a cover letter explaining why you are sending it to the lawyer. Keep a copy of the payment and the letter for your records. Start keeping a payment journal that lists date, amount and where sent so if there are issues later you have evidence of your payments. Do not pay in cash - money order or check. You could also set an automatic bill pay each month if the attorney tells you that you should be giving it the payment to your ex.
The information you obtain at this site is not, nor is it intended to be, legal advice. You should consult an attorney for advice regarding your individual situation. We invite you to contact us and welcome your calls, letters and electronic mail. Contacting us does not create an attorney-client relationship. Please do not send any confidential information to us until such time as an attorney-client relationship has been established..
I agree with the excellent advice of counsel above. I would just add that, in my opinion, it is safe and sometimes preferred to send a money order or cashiers check from the bank because those are traceable from the bank , which is a credible source to prove payment arrangements, should an issue arise. Just be sure to keep the carbon copy receipt, which shows when you went to the bank and purchased it and who was made payable.
If you found this helpful please check the helpful box on the side, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and best of luck.
Please note that this answer does not constitute legal advice, and should not be relied on, as each situation is fact specific, and it is not possible to evaluate a legal problem without a comprehensive consultation and review of all the facts and court pleadings filed in the case. This answer does not create an attorney-client relationship.
It sounds like the parties are trying to create a record. If the payment is paid to her attorney, the attorney will have to deposited into an escrow account, and then, there will be a record of the payments made which can be accessed by the court. In some states, payment of child support can only be made through the Child Suport Enforcement Agency. It sounds like they wish to create a record. Don't pay in cash. Pay by check, and keep a copy. Good luck.
The answers to questions provided in response to the request for assistance are general in nature, and reflect information which is primarily based upon general legal principals, and may additionally reflect Ohio principles of legal practice, as this is the primary location of this Attorney's practice. As with any legal advice, the advise is general in character, and should not be put into practice without specifically consulting your local counsel, who will possess far more insight into the applicable standards and laws of your specific State, your case's specific issues and the local Rules of Court and practices of the specific jurisdiction your legal action is governed by. You are specifically instructed : Do not proceed without first discussing this matter with your own local Attorney. This Office does not provide free legal advice by telephone. A 15 Minute Consultation can be obtained at no cost for certain types of legal cases, but to obtain same, an Office appointment is required. Provision of the answers to general questions does not constitute an act of representation, and the Attorney shall not be deemed to accept employment based upon the responses contained herein. The reader is advised that they utilize the general suggestions contained in the responses at their own risk, and under no circumstances should they disregard the advise of their present local legal counsel based upon any suggestions or opinions contained herein. Also, the bast method to discuss a case with an attorney is to do so directly, by scheduling a formal consultation in their office, bringing with you at the time of the meeting all of your relevant paperwork, including any contratcs, any Orders from Court, decrees, complaints, pleadings, etc., and any other relevant information for the attorney to review. General information via the internet is no substitute for an actual meeting with an attorney. The advice provided on line in response to the limited information is provided without charge. It is also provided without the benefit of face to face discussions, so before you act--consult an attorney in person.
yes I bought money order and I put to the Mothers'name, I only made xerox copy of money order. Is her lawyer gonna charge her everytime I send the money order to her Lawyer? I only pay $13 monthly, or they just wanna give me hard time because they know I dont have job yet?
Doubt it-- not for those amounts.... Keep your copies and take them when you go to Court....Good luck.

If you have ever had a urinary tract infection, you know how painful they can be. During pregnancy, the infection can feel even worse. A UTI is the last thing you want to be thinking of when you'd rather be considering baby names and decorations for the nursery. Think you feel that familiar urge to urinate and the pain that comes with it? Read this guide to ensure that your pregnancy remains a safe one.
Recognize the Signs of a Urinary Tract Infection
A UTI forms when bacteria enters the urethra and begin to grow, sometimes entering the kidney or bladder. The most common symptoms of a urinary tract infection include:
Prevent Further Instances of UTI
Tired of experiencing the pain of the infamous urinary tract infection? Try to avoid the common culprits, like these:
Unfortunately, there are some things you cannot avoid during pregnancy. The high progesterone levels you experience during pregnancy cause the urethra's muscles to relax and allow bacteria to come in. Additionally, the growth of your fetus puts pressure on the bladder, making it very difficult to urinate completely.
Seek Treatment Immediately
Once you recognize those telltale symptoms, you need to hit up urgent care quickly. There, an urgent care physician will take a urine sample and possibly put you on an antibiotic. If you fail to treat a UTI during pregnancy, the infection can quickly spread to the kidneys and the bloodstream. This can be life-threatening not only for you, but also for the child growing inside you. The result can be pre-term labor or the birth of a baby with low weight.
Prevent Urinary Tract Infections Now
As a pregnant women, you do not want to take any chances. Take the following steps to ensure that you do not face the consequences of a urinary tract infection during pregnancy:
No matter how far along in your pregnancy you happen to be, urinary tract infections are no joke. Keep your little one (and yourself) safe by preventing and treating these infections as soon as you can.Learn More
There are more than 265,000 women who pass away every single year from heart attacks, which is six times more women than those who die from breast cancer. Diabetics are two to four times more likely to have a stroke or heart attack when compared to individuals who are not diabetics. With heart attacks, chest pain is often the most common symptom. However, what many people do not realize is that you don't have to have chest pain to be having a heart attack. This is particularly true for women and diabetics. Therefore, it is important to understand the atypical symptoms that women and diabetics experience when having a heart attack.
Heart Attack Symptoms in Women
Although chest pain can occur, women do not always experience pain in their chest when they are having a heart attack. There are several other signs and symptoms that a woman is having a heart attack, including the following:
Heart Attack Symptoms in Diabetics
Again, chest pain can occur, but it isn't likely in diabetics. This is because diabetes has caused the body to respond differently to pain. Instead, here are some common signs individuals with diabetes need to look for if they think they may be having a heart attack:
Why Is This So Important?
The reason it is so important that women and diabetics understand that severe chest pain may not occur when they are having a heart attack is because they may not seek immediate treatment. This significantly delays appropriate treatment, which can cause major heart damage or even death. Therefore, women and diabetics who are at risk of heart disease need to be extremely diligent about any of these aforementioned heart attack signs and obtain treatment without delay.
If you are having any issues with breathing or feel any sort of pressure or tightness in your chest, it is important that you realize it may be a heart attack. Even if you go to an urgent care clinic or the emergency room and find out that it wasn't actually a heart attack, you can rest with the peace of mind knowing that you sought treatment when you thought something was wrong. It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to your life.

Tuesday, February 5, 2013 - Dame Helen Mirren is hoping for success at this weekend's (09-10Feb13) British Academy of Film and Television Arts (Bafta) Film Awards to "draw attention" to her "low-budget" new movie Hitchcock.
The Queen star is tipped in the Leading Actress category for her portrayal of Alfred Hitchcock's wife Alma Reville in the project, which features Sir Anthony Hopkins as the legendary director.
And Mirren is praying her name is called out at the London ceremony on Sunday (10Feb13) - because the film needs extra promotion due to its small budget.
She tells the Bbc, "awards are important for a movie, especially for a small, low-budget movie like this one, although it doesn't look it.
"These kind of movies don't have huge marketing budgets, so awards are very important because they draw attention. We make movies because we want people to see them."
Mirren faces tough competition for the award - Emmanuelle Riva (Amour), Jennifer Lawrence (Silver Linings Playbook), Jessica Chastain (Zero Dark Thirty) and Marion Cotillard (Rust And Bone) are also nominated.

For a team that has had little success the past five seasons, the Washington Wizards have been an unlikely source for teams looking for front office talent.
Mike Wilson, the Wizards' head of college scouting for the past nine seasons, is the latest to join the exodus from Washington after accepting a player personnel position with the Dallas Mavericks.
Already this offseason, Pat Connelly left his position as director of player personnel to become assistant general manager of the Phoenix Suns and former vice president of player personnel Milt Newton was hired as general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Former assistant coach Jerry Sichting also left to become the lead assistant with the Suns and assistant athletic trainer Koichi Soto is expected to join the Timberwolves as
head athletic trainer head strength and conditioning coach.
Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld and Coach Randy Wittman and their respective staffs are all in the final year of their contracts, but all of the departing individuals have received significant promotions to go elsewhere.
Wilson won't have to make a long move because he has resided in suburban Austin throughout his time with the Wizards. He was on the road for most of the season but made frequent visits and often joined the team in Washington in the weeks leading up to the draft. Prior to joining the Wizards, Wilson, a native of Pittsburgh, worked as a scout with the Denver Nuggets and also spent 13 years as a college assistant with Auburn, Rhode Island, Baylor, UNC Wilmington, Spartanburg Methodist, McNeese State, Penn State and Slippery Rock.

The Great Western Railway creates standard time
Phil Carradice
Until the final years of the 18th century there was no such thing as standard time in Britain. In each town across the country the time of day was decided, firstly, by the simple process of consulting a sun dial and then by the creation of local time.
The world's first passenger hovercraft
James Roberts
Half a century ago the future of transport appeared on a beach in north Wales. The hovercraft service from Rhyl to Moreton beach, Merseyside - the first of its kind in the world - was unleashed to masses of enthralled onlookers. This was the way forward - or so it seemed. The Vickers-Armstr...
It happened over Christmas
Phil Carradice
Christmas has always been a time for families, for gathering together around the fire and enjoying the warmth of human contact. In the halls and round houses of the Celts, in the castles and grand houses of the invading Normans, in the burgeoning villages and towns with their wattle and daub buildings, the Christmas season was always well kept in Wales. Yet the season has also been a time for great events, momentous happenings, and it needs only a cursory glance to realise that the Welsh did not just retire to their hearths for the Twelve Days of Christmas, warming their hands and toes before their roaring log fires. They also found time to get out and achieve! The first eisteddfod The very first eisteddfod, for example, was held over the Christmas period of 1176. Poets, story tellers and musicians came together for several days over the season to compete for two chairs, one for poetry, the other for music. The eisteddfod was held at Cardigan Castle and was organised by Rhys ap Gruffydd, the Lord Rhys as he was known. Even though the term "eisteddfod" was not used when describing this first event, bardic tournaments had been established and continue until this very day - even though they are now held during the summer months rather than over Christmas. The Christmas truce The famous unofficial truce that took place on Christmas Day 1914, with World War One raging across Europe, involved many Welsh soldiers. One of the regiments in the front line on this auspicious and amazing day was the Royal Welch Fusiliers. The story of the truce has been told many times but none is better or more graphic than the account produced by a private in the regiment, Frank Richards. With the help of poet Robert Graves he wrote a book, Old Soldiers Never Die, and one chapter concerns the Christmas truce. Richards was there, at the front, when the unofficial cease fire began: "On Christmas morning we stuck up a board with 'A Merry Christmas' on it. The enemy had stuck up a similar one... Two of our men threw their equipment off and jumped on the parapet with their hands above their heads. Two of the Germans done [sic] the same and commenced to walk up the river bank, our two men going to meet them. They met and shook hands and then we all got out of the trench." Soldiers from both sides spent the day in each others company, out in No Man's Land. Nobody fired or shot at the other side and Frank Richards even recalled that the Germans sent their Welsh enemies two barrels of beer. It was, he recalled, weak and watery, unlike good Welsh ale. The unofficial truce, which lasted until midnight, was observed along almost the whole of the front line and while senior officers were horrified, Welsh soldiers like Frank Richards were happy to put aside their weapons for the day and to mix with other young men, just like themselves, who were fighting for their country. Christmas Evans Several notable Welsh births took place, either on Christmas Day or during the Christmas season. The famous Non-conformist preacher Christmas Evans was born on Christmas Day in 1766 in a village close to Llandysul in Ceredigion. He was the son of a poor shoemaker and grew up illiterate and more than a little savage: he lost an eye in a vicious brawl while still a young man. Salvation came in the shape of Presbyterian minister David Davies who taught him to read and write in both English and Welsh. The young Christmas became a Baptist minister, his reputation quickly spreading across the whole of Wales. He had amazing insight and imagination and so powerful were the sermons he gave during his preaching tours that he was labelled "the Welsh John Bunyan". The Gentle Giant The footballer John Charles was born on the day after Boxing Day 1931. Nicknamed the Gentle Giant, he was never sent off during a professional career that saw him play for clubs such as Leeds, Cardiff and Juventus. Former Cardiff City captain Don Murray played with Charles and has always regarded him as the greatest player he has ever seen: "He played for Wales on 38 occasions, and took them to the quarter finals of the World Cup. He could play at centre forward or at centre back - at international level. That's a rare and very real ability. I went out to Italy with him, long after he'd left Juventus, and people still remembered him with love and affection. He was simply a great player." Other notable Welsh births during the Christmas season include actor Anthony Hopkins on New Years Eve 1937 and singer Aled Jones on 29 December 1970. Nos Galan Races The Nos Galan Races are now held every New Year's Eve in and around Mountain Ash. The very first races were held on 31 December 1958, the aim being to celebrate the life and career of legendary Welsh runner Guto Nyth Bran. Legend declares that Guto was so fast that he could catch a bird in flight and that he once ran from his home to Pontypridd, a distance of over seven miles, before the kettle boiled! These days there are races over various distances, the Nos Galan Beacon being lit to signal the start of the various events. The record for the four mile race was set by Tony Simmons in 1971 and, at 17 minutes 41 seconds, it is a time that still stands. The record for the 100 yards sprint is also a long-standing one, being set by Nigel Walker in 1988. Part of the appeal of the Nos Galan Races is that every year a mystery runner - his or her name kept secret until the night of the races - takes part. Mystery runners in the past have included athletes Lillian Board, Kirsty Wade and David Hemery and rugby stars Jamie Roberts and James Hook. Tragedy, of course, has also been ever present in the story of Welsh Christmases. On Christmas Day 1806 the Conwy Ferry sank, drowning 13 people, while on Boxing Day 1863 an explosion rocked the Gin Pit in Maesteg, causing the deaths of 14 miners. On New Years Day 1824, a shipwreck on the Great Orme saw the deaths of 14 passengers and crew while on 1 January 1916, at the height of World War One, the Mumbles lifeboat capsized, drowning three of the crew. Inevitably, there have been many other disasters around Wales over the festive period. The Christmas season, however, is not the time to think of human misery and pain. Rather, it is a time to celebrate and be happy. And Welsh men and women have done so for many years. They will undoubtedly continue to do so for many more to come. Phil will be chatting with Roy Noble on Tuesday 27 December from 2pm on BBC Radio Wales about this article.

The Overview to our Center application elucidates our vision of how and why late life depression prevention effectiveness research must be advanced in the next five years. The Research Methods Core (RMC) will provide the infrastructure to support the development of innovative methodologies to address the research issues and goals that emerge from this vision. Thus, the RMC will forge methodologic bridges between the Center's overall vision, on the one hand, and the research to be accomplished in order to meet it. An equally important RMC goal is to contribute to progress of the science of prevention research?at both the level of effectiveness assessment and the level of sustainability and transfer?within the mental health and aging research and practice communities. The RMC will accomplish these objectives through the efforts of a unified, multidisciplinary team of methodologists. This team will be organized into three subgroups (Units) with expertise brought to bear on specific methodologic areas: 1. The Assessment of Risk and Intervention Outcomes Unit will focus on the development and application of a new generation of electronic assessment strategies for measuring both risk factors and intervention outcomes in depression prevention trials. Domains of focus include the measurement of depressive symptoms and symptoms of other comorbidities;cognitive status;and overall functional status and disability. 2. The Research Design and Biostatistics Unit will focus on the development and application of models to characterize dynamic patterns of risk factors and transition between states/levels of depression, as well as on the development of methods to promote the efficient analysis of data from response-adaptive allocation research designs. 3. The Implementation. Portabilitv. Sustainabilitv and Migration Unit will focus on the application of tools to promote intervention dissemination and sustainability, with an emphasis on the use of methods that better characterize the content and delivery of interventions, as well as determine interventions'economic feasibility. Moreover, this Unit will work on the development and initial testing of strategies to migrate traditional interventions to electronic delivery modes. Within each RMC Unit, work will be pursued at two levels of function: (a) direct research investigation of new tools and approaches, utilizing the Principal Research Core projects as critical platforms for this work and (b) dissemination and training efforts both within and beyond the Center, involving close liaisons with the Operations Core so that new RMC tools and approaches can be smoothly transferred to the Operations Core 'loolbox" of Center resources and strategies.
The Research Methods Core (RMC) will support the development of methodological advances essential for the science of depression prevention, including new methods for assessment, statistical modeling of risk and outcomes of interventions, and dissemination of effective interventions. Work to be pursued will employ Principal Research Core projects as critical platforms for testing new methodologic tools, and results of this work will then be transferred to the Operations Core to be added to the toolbox of Center resources and strategies available for depression prevention researchers.

Chris Abele is bringing a new form of Democratic leadership to Milwaukee County. As a social progressive, Abele has instituted domestic partnership benefits for employees and strengthened critical safety net services like mental health care. Invested in economic development tools like the transit system, outcomes-based job training and job placement. He has focused his attention on making sure that County services are having a real impact on poverty. Abele's approach to the office is one that takes into account fiscal responsibility and sustainability so future generations don't have to worry about having great parks or a transit system.
When he took office in 2011, the County had been left in disarray and many wondered if it was headed for bankruptcy. For years, previous county executives and county boards ignored looming problems and opted for short-term fixes. Since taking office, County Executive Abele has steered clear of status quo politics, opting to spend his time and focus finding ways to provide and restore important, effective and efficient services to Milwaukee County residents.
As a lifelong Democrat, Abele is proud to support Democrats across the state and county, but he is also able to reach across the aisle to get to outcomes that serve the hard working families of Milwaukee County. As County Executive, he's used his platform to try and bring civility back to politics. Abele acknowledges that politicians won't always see eye to eye but he tries to remind people that political labels are not as important as getting things done.
For more than two decades Abele has been a highly successful business owner, he currently runs a successful start-up accelerator that focuses on bringing high-growth jobs to Milwaukee. Prior to taking office in 2011, he also ran a medical equipment company and served as CEO of the Milwaukee-based Argosy Foundation, where he remains a trustee. The Argosy Foundation aims to support leaders and organizations that employ creative and entrepreneurial approaches to solving systemic problems.
For nearly 20 years, Abele's philanthropy and volunteer work has included serving on and leading numerous local, national and international nonprofit boards. He currently serves on many boards, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Milwaukee Film Festival (which he co-founded), Schools that Can-Milwaukee and Victory Fund. He has received numerous awards for his effective leadership.
Chris is also a proud Milwaukeean of more than 25 years. While he wasn't born here, he likes to joke that he got here as soon as he could. He is honored his three daughters have Milwaukee on their birth certificates.

Gray Wolf Put Down in Yellowstone
A gray wolf that had lost its fear of humans and was repeatedly visiting developed areas in the park, has been put down. The gray wolf had approached visitors several times and liked to remain in the more developed areas of the park. Hazing attempts to scare off the wolf were unsuccessful. Due to the history of fearless behavior, Park Officials had to make the decision, and with the best interest of visitors and rangers in mind they decided to put the wolf down.
Park officials have tried to move animals in the park before, but these attempts usually are unsuccessful as the animal will go back to developed areas again. This wolf was believed to be between 2 and 4 years old and from Mollie's pack. From Yellowstone Insider.

I agree with everyone in that
Submitted by hunter25 on Fri, 2011-10-14 15:10.
I agree with everyone in that it's truly sad this one had to be put down like this. even with all the wolf controversy and the problems thay can cause they are still a beautiful animal. But as always safety must come first and with all the attacks we have had this year there is no point in taking any chances. I would bet they are also being a little more quick with the decisions they make after the bear that was let live then possibly became responsible for killing again. You just can't be too careful when it comes to these things.
Well, along with what
Submitted by Ca_Vermonster on Thu, 2011-10-13 15:51.
Well, along with what everyone else said, it surely is sad to see this happen to any animal, just for that reason. However, it is necessary to protect the people who are visiting Yellowstone.
The unfortunate thing is why that wolf was hanging around the developed areas , which inadvertantly led to it's demise. More than likely, it was relying on the area for it's food. Whether or not it was intentionally being fed by humans, it was just living off of scraps out of the trash, or maybe feasting on cattle or something, it was probably something to do with humans. It's funny though, because you always hear about keeping your food secure from bears, ut you never expect a wolf to be lurking around.
Don't know if he was driven out of his pack, and had to fend for himself for whatever reason, but a sad situation.
It's tough anytime an animal
Submitted by numbnutz on Thu, 2011-10-13 13:25.
It's tough anytime an animal get put down. However if the wild animal lost it's fear of humans then it's something that needed to be done for sure. I'm glad to hear officails made the right call in destroying this animal. To bad the hazing efforts didn't work. I'd rather the wolf be put down than hurt somebody or even a child. If it hadn't been put down it probably would have died anyways or gotting into some other kind of trouble.
Sounds like the officials did
Submitted by SGM on Thu, 2011-10-13 05:43.
Sounds like the officials did the right thing and tried to get the wolf to leave but it would not. I hate to see critters killed for no reason but in this case they had reason and better to side on the side of safety than take a chance somebody gets hurt or killed. The death of this one wolf will not impact the wolves in Yellowstone that is for sure. Agree with you Retired2 hunt on the hunting wolves to manage them. Glad when I saw the story last week about Wyoming working its plan for a hunt. Would love to get up into Idaho and get a wolf or two. Wife and I have talked about it and starting to look into doing it in the next 2 years or so.
The Mollies pack of wolves
Submitted by Retired2hunt on Wed, 2011-10-12 21:20.
The Mollies pack of wolves goes back many years. Doing an internet search provides an abundance of stories on how these wolves fought off two other wolf packs within Yellowstone. One search provided details on how this specific pack of wolves primary hunts were on buffalo.
It is too bad that this animal had to be put down... but allowing it to get too close to human interaction would only lead to disaster - so the right thing was done. I'm certain the ranchers that surround Yellowstone are glad there is one less wolf.
While wolves play a role in a very fragile ecosystem they too need to be managed in order to remain within the park. Failing to do so would only hurt all other animals that are important to the ecosystem.
In my opinion the wolves need to continue to be managed and controlled hunts are an important means to keep them in check.
Hate to always see any
Submitted by GooseHunter Jr on Wed, 2011-10-12 20:33.
Hate to always see any animals have to get put down for that reason. But it as to be done in order to proctect everyone from being harmed or killed. Whether its a wolf, bear or even maybe a deer it has to be done...just hate to see it happen.
It is very unfortunate that
Submitted by deerhunter30 on Wed, 2011-10-12 17:54.
It is very unfortunate that things like this have tobe done. Sometimes it must be though. You do not want to take the chance of this wolf trying to get to close to a human and the human being hurt or even worse killed.
This would probably go for any animal that loses its fear of humans and starts to get a little to close for comfort.

PureCM 3.0: Commercial Version Control System on Linux
British company PureCM.com Ltd has released a new version of its PureCM software configuration management (SCM) tool.
PureCM 2008-3 is designed to facilitate software development more transparently for all those involved. The guiding principle is the intertwining of software configuration management with the development process such that change requests can be linked directly with corresponding changes. The graphical user interface, the PureCM server and the command line clients support the Fedora, Red Hat, SUSE and Ubuntu Linux variants. PureCM can also integrate with Eclipse environments. Along with version 3.0, the company also released a proxy server for distributed teams, included in the standard developer license. Because the proxy server caches repository data in a local database, the access speed increases significantly compared to accessing the remote server each time, by a factor of 18 according to the company. Software control remains centralized thanks to ongoing data synchronization so that all developers have the same informational base.
For one thing, PureCM 2008-3 promises higher speed: data transfers in LANs and WANs should be five times faster than with PureCM 2008-2. Another significant enhancement is the component manager that allows a better overview and control of software tools and libraries. Also new is a diffing tool for image and MS Word files without the need to track diffs with filename changes. Users can visualize changes side by side in the graphical interface.
The list of enhancements for this release is on the PureCM website. A free, fully functioning 2-user eval version is available here.
