This year, 123 nominations were submitted.
CFI funds ten new Victor E. Bell, Jr. Scholarships annually and continues to fund scholarships for previous recipients who meet annual renewal criteria. Other organizations or individuals are welcome to contribute to the Bell Scholarship Program or to fund and create a similar scholarship that can be administered by CFI.

Zurich, Switzerland
My first try in e-sewing! The eyes of the cat are LEDs which light up when there it get's dark around, and there is also a temperature sensor to show the ambient temperature range with a color code on a RGB-LED. All the electronic components are connected with conductive thread on the backside of the cat.

SCHLADMING, Austria (AP) -- Aksel Lund Svindal was far ahead of his downhill competitors at worlds championships in every aspect - technically, physically and tactically.
Mastering a bumpy and icy course made more difficult by a light snowfall and low visibility, Svindal won the downhill title Saturday by a huge margin.
Other contenders ran into trouble on the 2-mile Planai course, especially on the steep, final pitch where skiers had to dig their edges in hardest just when their legs began to weaken.
"The game plan was to be pushing all the way down to the last pitch, than be tactical at two gates there then push hard again," Svindal said. "It's never perfect but I had a very good run. When I came down and I was fast I was happy because I definitely didn't want to go up and do it again because I didn't have any more (energy)."
Svindal clocked 2 minutes, 1.32 seconds to win by nearly half a second and secure his second world title in skiing's signature event, having also won in Are, Sweden, in 2007.
Dominik Paris of Italy, who leads this season's World Cup downhill standings by three points ahead of Svindal, took the silver medal, 0.46 behind, and David Poisson of France was a surprise third-place finisher.
With 2005 champion Bode Miller sitting out for the season recovering from knee surgery, the Americans failed to make an impact.
Less than 2 hours before the start of the race, Andrew Weibrecht posted the fastest time in an additional 50-second training run on the bottom part of the course. But he finished only 22nd in the race, 3.25 seconds behind Svindal, for the top U.S. result.
Miller, who attended the race, is expected back next season and plans to compete in the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
"He was one who always seemed to pull it through in these situations and it's tough not having him," said Marco Sullivan, who opened the season with a third-place result in Lake Louise. "But we saw in training and the past races we've all been skiing pretty well. We just have to make that jump to doing it in big events."
Already a two-time overall champion, Svindal is having another standout World Cup season with four victories. But he started these championships with a disappointing bronze in a super-G that saw his teammate Kjetil Jansrud of Norway ruled out for up to nine months after injuring his left knee.
"For super-G I was the big favorite that everyone was talking about and in skiing you can't just show up and get your medal. There's just too much stuff you can't control" Svindal said. "Even though it was not a bad day it was also mixed emotions with my one and only teammate getting injured and out for the season.
"I was really motivated to have a good race today. Crossing the finish in the world championships and leading by a second is a really good feeling," added Svindal, who came down immediately before Paris and celebrated immediately, turning to all corners of the finish area to take in the entire crowd.
While Svindal was counting his medals - he now has 11 at major championship, more than halfway to the all-time record of 20 held by fellow Norwegian Kjetil Andre Aamodt - the U.S. Ski Team was trying to determine what went wrong.
Sullivan was the first American starter. He was ahead of then leader Andrej Sporn at the fourth checkpoint when he lost his edge on a right turn, getting pushed off course into a barrier. He wasn't injured and got right up and skied down to the finish.
Next up was Travis Ganong, who fell down on his side on the top portion of the course.
Steven Nyman was also on pace for a top-10 finish but he made a big mistake on the bottom pitch, letting his skis get turned perpendicular to the slope. When he reached the finish, he pounded one of his poles into the snow in frustration. He finished 25th, 3.79 behind.
By the time Weibrecht started with the No. 37 bib, a light headwind was blowing and he lost time throughout his run, then fell in the finish area and banged into the protective padding, getting up with his blonde beard covered in snow.
The U.S. team hired prized Austrian downhill coach Andi Evers for this season and improved technically but Nyman said the squad lacked fitness.
"The further down we went the more time we lost," Nyman said. "There's definitely some issues we got to address and it's been that way in Wengen, in Kitzbuehel. We need to perform at the bottom of the courses.
"We definitely need to do more in the season to maintain our strength," added Nyman, who won the classic Val Gardena downhill in December for the second time. "It's a maintenance issue, a matter of maintaining that fitness we get in the summer. We have the facility, we have the trainers, the coaches and everything, we just need to maintain that through the winter."
Sullivan, the team veteran at 32, thought the issue was tactical.
"Americans are known for stepping up in the big events and we definitely expected a lot today and maybe it got the better of us," he said. "On a course like this you had to conserve a bit for the bottom pitch and I don't think we did that. We were full guns out of the gate and it caught up with us. ... I wouldn't say any of us are out of shape by any means."
The Americans weren't the only ones who struggled.
Defending champion Erik Guay of Canada made one big error midway down then appeared out of energy on the bottom, skiing off course two gates from the end and getting disqualified when he went back onto the track and crossed the finish line.

The British Museum's spherical-shaped reading room hosts 'Hajj: The Journey to Heart of Islam,' a new exhibition which sold out to audiences the first weekend that it opened. During the exhibition, visitors are met with the recitation of prayers and images of pilgrims, making them feel as if they are walking alongside the pilgrims. Although most people may not see Mecca in their lifetime, the city in Saudia Arabia which hosts the world's largest annual pilgrimage, the Hajj now comes to them. This new exhibition breaks down cultural barriers by giving visitors a glimpse of the journey every Muslim must make at least once in their lifetime as a testament of their faith.
Despite the exhibition's central focus on the Hajj, it is about much more than a pilgrimage. The third and final exhibition in a series focusing on spiritual journeys, items on display unravel the relationship between East and West. Among these items is Sir Richard Francis Burton's book about Mecca and Medina's important religious sites, written by one of the few pilgrims who never formally converted to Islam. Photographs and a letter by Lady Evelyn Cobbold, the first British woman to perform Hajj at the age of 65, are also on display and recount her journey to Jeddah via Cairo as a convert to Islam.
These artefacts demonstrate that the three million Muslims from around the world that converge at the Hajj are not homogenous in their ethnicity nor their culture. Even Sir Thomas Cooke has an unexpected appearance in the display, tying British history to Muslim heritage, with his role as the first official international Hajj travel agent in 1886. When asked about her experience of the exhibition, Patricia, a teacher from London, said, "What I've discovered is how many people I've heard of before, have been involved [with the Hajj]. Famous people, from British history, have been involved as well."
In partnership with Saudi Arabia's King Abdul Aziz Public Library and sponsored by HSBC's culture exchange program, artefacts from forty collections illustrate three basic elements of the Hajj. The journey to Hajj, the rituals of the pilgrimage, and experience are the three main elements of the Hajj exhibition. Stories of how pilgrims crossed ancient travel routes to attend the pilgrimage, take visitors through regions such as Arabia, the Indian Ocean, and Western Africa. The latter would take pilgrims over a year to cross. From the regal to the commonplace, the display also has everything from plastic razors that some pilgrims use to shave their heads after completing Hajj, to a gold, red, and black carriage known as the Mahmal that was last used in the early 20th century and paraded in the streets of Cairo, watched by thousands to symbolise the authority of a sultan before he embarked on his pilgrimage.
Decorated with a gold, black, and white theme, the walls of this exhibition hold a key to greater understanding. At a time when there are many misconceptions about Islam and people are quick to get their information about Muslims from TV, the British Museum's Hajj exhibition is a good place to learn what Islam is really about. As she walked around the end of the exhibition, Patricia added, "It's amazing. I don't want to leave. I keep going around because there's so much to learn."
The exhibition is open to the public until April 15, 2012. Opening hours 10.00-17.30 Saturday to Thursday, 10.00-20.30 Fridays.

Abstracts from JASIS&T
note: We invite JASIS&T authors to submit structured
abstracts of their articles for possible inclusion in the Bulletin,
particularly those that might be of interest to practitioners.
ASIS&T would welcome reader feedback on the usefulness of this
(or any other) Bulletin feature
JASIS&T v. 56 (7)
N. & Markpin, T. (2005). Making and equality of ISI impact
factors for different subject fields, (676-683).
and Results:
The ISI journal impact factors are widely known and used to evaluate
journal qualities and subsequently the work of individual scientists
published in the journals, and the results can become meaningless
when making comparisons between subject fields. This injustice will
remain as long as the ISI impact factors are employed as an
instrument to assess the international research quality. Here we
propose a new mathematical index entitled Impact Factor Point
Average (IFPA) for assessment of the quality of individual
research work in different subject fields. The proposed index is
simple and enables the ISI impact factors to be used with equality,
especially when evaluating the quality of research works in
different subject fields.
New? The IFPA index is new and established based on a
normalization of differences in impact factors, rankings and number
of journal titles in different subject fields.
The IFPA index is obtained from the impact factors produced
yearly by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI).
J. (2005). Impact and relevance of LIS journals: A linguistic
analysis of question taxomomies, (715-728).
and Results: This paper explores the steps in the process of
providing chat reference, as well as issues involved in providing
such service at each step. Open research questions at each step in
the process of providing chat reference service are presented. The
entire process of providing chat reference is viewed as a whole, and
an abstract model of the provision of chat reference service is
New? The questions
posed in this paper are the most important open questions in chat
reference service at this time and may guide future research in this
area by both scholars and practitioners. The model developed in this
paper may serve as a conceptual framework for identifying additional
questions in chat reference service and for development of chat
reference software.
As chat reference technology develops, some of the questions
posed in this paper will be answered and additional questions will
be identified. Many of the questions posed in this paper likely have
no single, definitive answer but are instead context-dependent.
JASIS&T v. 56 (8)
N. (2005). Community networks: Community capital or merely an
affordable Internet access tool? (812-823).
and Results: This study examined a perceived gap between the
ideal and the reality of community networks. There has been a
concern that citizens might use the network as a means to connect to
the Internet rather than to their communities. Surveying 213
community network users, this study found that over two-thirds of
the respondents were unaware of the services community contents.
A hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed that only 20% of
respondents were people whose use was influenced by their
understanding of the services community-oriented nature.
New? This study empirically confirmed that the providers
goal of community building was not fully communicated to its users.
The study also revealed three distinctive but concurrent service
models identified from service use: (a) affordable ISP model for the
socio-economically disadvantaged; (b) stepping stone model for those
who have not been exposed to the Internet previously; and (c)
community building model for those who share the same vision of
community building with the providers. This finding will be useful
to community ICT providers to understand the current practice and
plan for future services.
Replication of results in other community networks should be
followed to determine if and
to what degree the present findings can be generalized.
H. C., Teo, H. H., & Zeng, X. H. (2005). An evaluation of novice
end-user computing performance: Data modeling, query writing, and
and Results: The
choice of a data model and query language has practical effects on
end-user usage of database systems. It is hypothesized that data
modeling will affect query writing, and both of these will in turn
affect query comprehension. An experiment shows that users of the
object-oriented and entity relationship models and languages are
better than users of the logical level relational model and SQL
language for all three tasks. The object-oriented model is better
than the entity relationship model for data modeling. Furthermore,
data modeling has a positive effect on query writing, which in turn
has a positive effect on query comprehension.
New? Previous
studies have considered only one task at a time. This combined study
shows that performance on one task can affect performance on
another. Data model and language have both direct and indirect
effects on all three tasks. In particular, end-users will have
better query performance if they also have data modeling training.
Limitations: The results are tested for novice users only.

- "Remember, no one messes with my girls!"
- ―Luigi Goterelli
Luigi Goterelli is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto III. He is also referenced in The Introduction, a prequel to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (set in 1992), and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories (set in 1998), with the appearance of his business part way through the game. Luigi is voiced by Joe Pantoliano[1], who has starred in such programs as The Sopranos.
Luigi Goterelli became a member of the Leone Family, eventually becoming a made man and opening his own business, Luigi's Sex Club 7 in the Red Light District of Portland Island. The club is seen during The Introduction, a prequel to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, showing the business had started sometime before that point in 1992. The death of Forelli Family Don Sonny Forelli, however, cleared the way for the Sindacco Family to enter the city and the family took the Red Light District over, renaming the building Paulie's Revue Bar. In 1998 Toni Cipriani and other Leone Family mobsters took control of the area from the Sindacco Family and the Diablos in a gang war. Shortly after this, the building is changed back to Luigi's Sex Club 7. Goterelli had stood trial for running a brothel and profiting from immoral activity thrice in the past, but was protected from getting charged by Salvatore and Joey Leone.
Events of GTA III
Jobs for Claude
- "8-Ball's got some business up stairs. Maybe you can do me a favor. One of my girls needs a ride so grab a car and pick up Misty from the clinic. Then bring her back here. Remember no one messes with my girls! So keep your hands on the wheel! If you don't mess this up, maybe there'll be more work for you. Now get outta here! "
- ―Luigi's first mission to Claude, this is also his first lines in game.
In 2001 he was accused by the Liberty Tree newspaper of being a pimp and, although he denied all the accusations, his lawyer appeared to confirm this accusation.[2] 8-Ball, an old friend of Luigi's, introduces Luigi to Claude, who is looking for work after escaping from a Liberty City Police Department convoy.[3] Luigi has Claude bring Misty, a local prostitute that works for Luigi back to the club from the hospital[4], before employing him on a more regular basis. Luigi has Claude kill a drug dealer, who is selling to his prostitutes, and steal his car[5], drive Misty to Joey's Garage[6], kill two rival pimps[7] and drive prostitutes to the Old School Hall for an LCPD party.[8]
Salvatore's Meeting
- "Oh my girls have been missing you so long Salvatore, you been away too long."
- ―Luigi to Salvatore Leone. This is his last line in GTA III.
Claude and Luigi meet again when Claude drives him to Salvatore Leone's Gentlemen's Club for a meeting.[9] Whilst Luigi does not appear again, his business continues to appear throughout the rest of Grand Theft Auto III. He is mentioned for last time in the mission Sayonara Salvatore. It is possible that he was bumped up to Caporegime after Don Salvatore Leone was hit, with Toni Cipriani the Don of the family and Joey Leone retaining his underboss status.

The HIV Generation Gap
Picture of Tyler Curry (@iamtylercurry) courtesy of Kevin Chung
For the past 30 years, gay men have been stuck in a constant sparring match with HIV. For the first two decades of the epidemic, it seemed that we could never measure up to the brute and brawn of this vile disease. But in the third decade of battle, it appears that we are primed for one of the greatest comebacks of all time. This potential victory comes with great loss. Some of our best men who were a part of the initial rounds were knocked out of the battle far too early. Entire communities were ravaged by this ominous foe, leaving only a few where there were once many still standing. Now, these veteran survivors stand along with many new fighters in the battle, but sometimes there is strife within the differing ranks.
Of course, it is to be expected that those who have been a part of the fight since the beginning will have a deeper connection and sense of ownership with their forever "shadow boxer." As these men tell the tales of a time of more funerals than birthday parties, early meds that made you want to die and the hope of just living another year, maybe two, it hardly seems like we are in the same battle at all.
Men like Peter Staley, Mark S. King and Jack Mackenroth and many others paved the road for people like Chris Richey and Scott McPherson of the Stigma Project and myself to enter the ring with a much lesser foe today. These veteran fighters as well as many others have served as mentors for us. They are patient, forgiving and kind as we stumble around, finding our footing in the world of activism.
But just like in any battle, some of these long-term survivors can sometimes hold a bit of resentment toward those who avoided the worst part of the fight. And this sentiment is quite understandable.
The early days of HIV are comparable to very few other epidemics in modern history. Unlike other health crises, an additional layer of shame and blame were included in the symptoms that accompanied the virus. These people were shunned for more than just the fear of infection and were often left alone to face the certainty of death. For the men and women who somehow outlasted their dismal prognosis, and to the many others who fortuitously avoided infection, the pain of losing so many others to the disease is still palpable.
For some, this pain has hardened into a tear-tinged anger toward younger men who are diagnosed today. It can be easy to view these newbies as privileged morons instead of the unknowing victims of the early years. An angry finger is wagged at the newly diagnosed twentysomething who assumedly threw caution to the wind, because any gay men with half a brain knows exactly how HIV is transmitted.
How could these young men not know? Or is HIV considered so easily managed that the younger generation just doesn't care anymore? The mere possibility of these questions being true is enough to send some long-term survivors into a chastising tirade, complete with a barrage of scary (and out-of-date) side effects, judgmental labels and a healthy serving of shame...just like they received all those years ago.
Although the emotion behind these actions is understandable, the delivery only serves to perpetuate the fear and silence that only helps to increase transmission rates.
As someone who is newly HIV-positive myself, I can only sympathize with long-term survivors of the disease. I would dare not say I could empathize. I will never know how it must have felt to discover you were carrying a death sentence in your bloodstream. I shudder to even imagine having to see my friends waste away around me or to experience the horrendous side effects that were often worse that the disease itself.
And although modern medicine has eradicated the eminent doom that so many gay men from the early years had to face, the stigma that kept so many quiet about their disease is still alive and well. It is within this stigma that you can find the root to a myriad of psychological issues that lead to young, naïve gay men to become infected today.
I know this all too well. Only a year ago, I was unaware that anyone in my immediate social web was living with HIV. They were all too afraid of the judgment that comes attached to the positive label. It was only after I began to bang my drum and call attention to my status that so many around me revealed that they too were living with the disease.
The drastically different generational experiences with HIV can make it almost feel like we are sometimes on opposite sides of the ring. But whether veteran or novice, there is a common vein of shame and stigma that we feel in the fight of HIV. The fighting style of our opponent has changed, and the new fighters must rely on the survivors of the fight to help us keep up the winning streak.
Our bodies are solid. But we need the veterans to help us new fighters strengthen something else.
Our voices.
Hello" thankGod for the wonderful healing spell power which Dr eziza render to my life which oracle support, i was been diagnosed with HIV-AIDS over 7years now which has lead me to unployment and loosing my relationship with my fiance after he heard that i am suffering from the VIRUS, i tried begging him to allow me stays with him, but he still insist on letting me out of his home, until a friend of mine on facebook from SOUTH AFRICA told me more about Dr eziza the great healer, that he is going to help restore and healed my diseased with his powerful healing spell, she send me of Dr eziza email address and i quickly contacted him, and he replied to after 30mins of my message that my disease is a little and minor disease, that he will solved the disease immediately only if i can accept all he requested from, i told him yes, because truly i know that " HIV-AIDS IS A WICKED AND DEADLY DISEASE I EVER KNOWS ". so i did all he want from me and suprisingly on friday last week DR eziza called me that my problems is solvesd that i should hurry up to the hospital for a checkup, which i truly really did, i comfirm from my doctor that i am now HIV-NEGATIVE AND NOT LONG +, I jump up and was crying heavily because truly the disease drive alot of things away from my life, my friends, my cousin, my fiance and relatives, but now since i was comfirm NEGATIVE- my lost friends and fiance has been back to me begging for forgiveness, i have forgiven them and now we are now best of friend. again i will say to Dr eziza that he is blessed and may the almighty God which i serve raise him and his family to the higher level in life. Thank and god bless. Please email DR eziza for healing and solution now at = email@example.com FROM U.S.A
Magic Johnson stated that hiv is still a death sentence and acknowledged that 17, 000 people still die every year from aids in the US.. Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death among those with hiv. The cdc recognizes re-infections and co-infections with hiv. Hep c a comon co-infection. There also is the high cost associated with meds that place a huge strain on the healthcare system. As well there are over 250, 000 on the waiting list for hiv meds. Clearly we have a crisis with the continued increases of hiv infections among this generation of gay youth.
We're not using condoms because we're operating under the mantra of, 'if I get infected, I'll just pop a pill'. This precludes any cognition of the fact that HIV has numerous strains and that repeated infections leads to viral mutations. Our ignorance is paving the way to a 'superbug' that will evade current regimens and usher in a new generation of loss. If you are infected and your partner is infected, you must use condoms.
There is no evidence of a super infection, jd. It's a boogeyman that has failed to materialize, and gay men everywhere figured that out a long time ago. Two positive men, both on treatment and undetectable, have about as much chance on infecting one another as being struck by lightning (they are essentially both on PrEP). It's this kind of misinformation that makes us look like old men waving a rake on the front lawn, and about as relevant to the real lives of younger gay men.
We also learned that any comment that includes "you must," when it comes to addressing sexual behavior, holds as much sway as "Just Say No." As much as you and I might wish (and judge, and cajole) otherwise, we must reach gay men where they are, provide sober facts that don't inflate the risks, and live in the here and now, not in the bloodbath of the 80's. Our departed friends don't want to be horror movie monsters, scaring the bejesus out of contemporary gay men with false information. They deserve better than that.
Im 25. I'm negative. I've also slept with over 500 men. I am what a lot of people in my own gay community call, a slut. Chances are you'd look at me and think I wasn't this sexuall active, dressed as a businessman, or maybe even straight. But I have taken notes from our ancestors, and I am SO EXTREMELY grateful for what I have learned. I can not imagine what it must have been like in that time period. How heartbreaking and difficult to not understand. I have learned, however, that sex can be fun, most certainly, but I also believe it is God's gift to us to express a deeper intamacy and love to another person with more intensity than words. Growing up Mormon, when the flood gate I allowed open, I let it all in. (hence my number of sexual partners.) But I knew, as insatiable as my thirst was, to be careful. To use a condom. To ask questions to my potential partners. And to ALWAYS BE SAFE. And this I credit, to a few people who were open and audible about their status as positive. SO THANK YOU.
I have a new gay friend in my life, and knowing him has really made me take a look at how it must feel. I'm concerned for him, especially because I lost a hs friend to AIDS. I went to the prom with this guy, and never knew he was gay. I try not to lecture my friend now. I just tell him to be careful. I can really see that gay relationships are much like heteorosexual ones in that there's always a first attraction and what we enterpret as "true love." I grew up as a very religious girl who would judge gays. Each day, I can just try to see what life is like for this guy. The most important aspect is that he is a good leader and one of the kindest human beings I know right now.
I have lived with HIV for 30 years, and your description of the psychic, spiritual shock we experienced in the 1980's is quite accurate. But I for one have no interest in using my tragedy as a mallet with which to club younger gay men. In a forum at the recent U.S Conference on AIDS, a roomful of positive people, young and old, discussed our lives with HIV from our respective vantage points, and among our group at least, there was a real generosity and willingness to understand the experience of the other. It was encouraging.
The cross-generational conflicts between gay men are real, however, as evidenced in Sam's angry and judgmental posted comment. Of course the disease has changed, and the mortal stakes for gay men in the United States are not nearly as high. Those of us blaming people for newer infections and bemoaning the lack of condom usage might consider that, even in the deadliest days, gay men have never reported consistent condom usage of more than 55%. Now, when the disease has become a chronic condition, why in the world would these figures surprise us?
Sorry, I'm in no mood to judge younger gay men. The pressure to remain negative and to have my every choice literally tested every few months is something I have never experienced, considering I was infected before there was a test, or a crisis for that matter.
What is more helpful is candid talk about what it means to be positive or negative today -- as a gay man at risk of either becoming infected or being stigmatized. These conversations, and your writing, Tyler, help us with that goal. And I'm listening.
Mark S. King
It's easier for a gay man to be infected with HIV than it is for a hetero woman to become pregnant, yet it carries a much greater stigma.
But WHY are so many young men getting infected? Are there really that many defective condoms out there? Or have we attached a certain glamor to high risk behaviors, just because the risk is somewhat lessened from where it used to be? I worry that a lot of the youngest sexually active kids don't understand that HIV is still life changing, even if it is no longer an automatic death sentence.
I too want to come to an understanding of how new cases are acquired. These young men were born into a world with the knowledge of HIV AIDS their entire life. I see many articles about living a young proud life with HIV but no one will engage in a conversation were they take responsibility of irresponsible activities. Maybe the total truth would be more helpful to everyone especially the younger ones among us. Fight the fight but be honest of all parts of your journey.

In the past, CNBC.com has looked at the homes of country singers and musicians from the early classic era through outlaw country though the more pop-like country of recent decades. The latest re-boot of country star homes includes a working ranch, an older California house, a modest boyhood home, and of course some Nashville estates. As for the stars, they include a classic country legend, as well as hit-makers from the 1970s through today.
These homes are not all on the market, but among the properties that are (or were recently), their prices range from a mere $155,000 to just under $20 million. Two of these homes were sold in nontraditional ways, and two of the following featured country musicians moved within their same neighborhoods after selling their first homes.

Row-based UPS
The Liebert APM UPS by Emerson Network Power has received Energy Star certification.
Emerson Network Power has announced that its modular, row-based Liebert APM uninterruptible power supply (UPS) has received Energy Star certification. The Liebert APM UPS is available globally. A transformer-free, on-line UPS, the Liebert APM enables capacity on demand with the addition of internal FlexPower core assemblies. The assemblies allow the system to expand for capacity or redundancy in 15 kW increments up to 45 or 90 kW within one cabinet. The FlexPower cores incorporate distributed intelligence and scalable power in a common assembly and allow configuration of a completely redundant power and control system, sized to match the capacity of the protected equipment. When power requirements change, data center managers can easily add capacity without increasing the system footprint. This approach allows for right-sizing of the UPS, resulting in improved energy efficiency and reduced power expenditures.

(Grus rubicunda)
Facts about this animal
The Brolga has a light bluish-grey body plumage and blackish wing feathers. They have a featherless red head, a grey crown and a black dewlap under the chin. Legs and toes are grey to black. Males and females are alike in appearance, but males tend to be slightly larger in size. They stand 0.7 to 1.3 m tall, with an average 6 kg in weight and a wing span of 1.7 to 2.4 m.
Brolgas live in large flocks, sometimes as large as 1000 birds. Each family group in the flock is lead by a male. Brolgas form lifelong breeding pairs.
In southern Australia, brolgas breed from September to December, and some months later in the north. The elaborate courtship displays involve much dancing, leaping, wing-flapping and loud trumpeting. A territory is established, which is vigorously defended by both partners and a nest is built, which is a large mound of vegetation on a small island in a shallow waterway or swamp. The usually two eggs, which are white blotched with brown and purple, are incubated for about 32 days by both parents.
Brolgas feed on sedge tubers, which they excavate, wetland plants, upland plants and grains, insects, molluscs, crustaceans, frogs and other small vertebrates.
Did you know?
that Brolgas are the only crane species to have a gland in the corner of their eyes which helps to pass excessive salt? and that an aboriginal legend tells of a beautiful young woman who always danced instead of working? She was turned into a tall, slender bird. Her name was Bralgah. The complicated dance of the brolga is imitated by the Aborigines in some of their dances.

|Mainly throughout northern and eastern Australia and as far south as Victoria, but also in Indonesia and southern New Guinea. They are found as rare vagrants in New Zealand and Russia. They are non-migratory, but do move in response to seasonal rains.
|They are found in coastal freshwater wetlands, freshwater and brackish marshes, wet meadows, and other seasonal wetlands. Of the fifteen species of cranes, the Brolga is perhaps the most opportunistic and variable in terms of habitat selection.

Why do zoos keep this animal
The Brolga is not a threatened species. Zoos keep it primarily for educational reasons and as an ambassador species for wetland and grassland conservation. Outside the region of origin, only few zoos keep the Brolga, which is very similar to the Sarus crane.

Que projeto lindo e delicioso!!!ReplyDelete
So, I saw this on a MAJOR craft blog today, and went in search of the real source, because I am becoming very disenchanted with major craft blogs with 50K followers claiming an idea as their own, and came across your blog.

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - April 2, 2013 --New Jersey is suspending an ID theft program that has delayed tax refunds to 13,000 taxpayers.
Refunds will be paid starting next week.
Software initially flagged 22,000 tax refunds in February, requiring taxpayers to provide additional information such as W-2 forms and recent pay stubs. The state then said 9,000 filers should not have been included.
Treasury Department spokesman William Quinn tells the Asbury Park Press the current program needs further modification to better balance fraud prevention benefits with the burdens it imposes on taxpayers.

"Even if the company has stated that it's fine with the Vita's sales numbers, no one can deny it's underperforming compared to the Nintendo 3DS. Despite better specs and a wide range of games, the 3DS has managed to outsell it. Whether or not the Vita has a price that is too expensive is still a mystery, but we should find out very soon if it's the lack of a solid IP that's keeping the PS Vita from selling. This convention revealed many different things about Sony, and most of them reflected positively on the company—which might be just what it needs to save the Vita from living in the shadow of its competitor." | Explosion.com
The 3DS started out with poor sales also, but look how well it's doing now!
Has some great looking upcoming games, so I have confidence.
That's only because they released 2 Mario games within 2 weeks of each other. And now today marks the history of the game that is going to sell 3DS's for the next 5 years.
remember how vita sold so well when gravity rush launched. Now imagine that from september there will be loads of great game coming out for the machine.

The resolution that was adopted will remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone effective January 1, 2014. Adult membership requirements however, remain unchanged.
For 103 years, the Boy Scouts of America, the nation's foremost youth program, has been providing its youth program of character development and values-based leadership training to the youth of our communities.
As many of you know, the BSA spent most of the first part of this year conducting a thorough review of BSA's Membership Standards, educating the leaders and parents, and surveying various constituencies. That review confirmed that this issue remains among the most complex and challenging issues facing the BSA and society today. There was an outpouring of feedback from the American public; and the same was true throughout our council. It reinforces how deeply people care about Scouting and how passionate they are about the organization.
While perspectives and opinions vary significantly; we understand through the Voice of the Scout survey that parents, adults in the Scouting community, and teens alike tend to agree that youth should not be denied the benefits of Scouting.
The resolution that was adopted will remove the restriction denying membership to youth on the basis of sexual orientation alone effective January 1, 2014. Adult membership requirements however, remain unchanged.
America and our communities need Scouting, and our policies must be based on what is in the best interest of our children. We believe good people can disagree on a variety of topics and yet still work together to accomplish great things for youth. Going forward, we will work to stay focused on our mission of instilling in young people the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
Please consider the positive impact Scouting has had on you and your family. Your continued support and involvement is needed as we prepare to implement these changes throughout the organization.
About the Cornhusker Council, Boy Scouts of America
The Cornhusker Council, founded in 1930 (headquartered in Lincoln) one of nearly 300 chartered councils in the United States, implements Scouting programs for all of southeast Nebraska. The council provides quality Scouting programs to its members through local community partnerships in 16 counties. Over 6,000 youth and adult residents of southeast Nebraska participate in the Scouting program.
Last year Scouting programs in the Cornhusker Council, collected over 8,000 pounds of food for area Food Banks, and performed nearly 35,500 hours of community service. Nearly 100 young men earned their Eagle Scout award in 2012, completing a life-long leadership and personal development experience. More than 1,000 other young women and men participated in our summer camping experiences offered at Camp Cornhusker, near Humboldt, and the Outdoor Education Center, located near Lincoln.

Just 5 miles from the attractive Victorian spa town of Llandrindod Wells and Rhayader's spectacular red kite feeding station, these three warm and comfortable lodges – each of which boast its own blissful hot tub offering wonderful views – all enjoy a peaceful working farm setting. A nearby river offers informal angling and, for more serious fishing, the beautiful Elan Valley with its stunning reservoirs is the area's main attraction. Close to Glyndwr's Way, the Cistercian Way and Offa's Dyke, this is wonderful walking, mountain biking and bird watching country, and an indoor play barn and adventure park, small breeds farm, indoor activity centre, cycle hire and pony trekking are among nearby delights. Rhayader is also home to the Welsh Royal Crystal factory, whilst Hereford's Cathedral with its famous chained library and Mappa Mundi draws visitors from all over the world as does the nearby 'book town' of Hay-on-Wye. Dolphin spotting in Cardigan Bay and the golden sands of Aberdovey are easily within a day trip. There is a good selection of eating places in the area. Shop 3 miles, pub 1.5 miles.

Missouri is next on the list to create a state chapter of a national organization that lobbies for strong separation of religion and government.
The Secular Coalition for America typically focuses on separation of religion and government at the federal level. Spokesperson Lauren Anderson Youngblood says the organization hopes to have chapters in all 50 states by the end of this year.
"What we're seeing recently is that a lot of the most egregious legislation being introduced that attempts to co-mingle religion and government is being introduced at the state level," Youngblood says.
The organization represents Americans who don't believe in a god or gods. According to a recent study from the Pew Forum, that's about 25 percent of Missourians.
The Secular Coalition for America had its first organizing call in Missouri on Thursday, and the group will continue its efforts with another call in late July.

However, one problem that arises from this perceptual distinction is that IT doesn't have a strong voice in the company. That's untenable, particularly as companies grapple with significant technology changes in cloud, big data, mobility and more. IT has to provide essential services, cater to users, and meet security, compliance and privacy needs of their companies.
The "Business of IT" track at Interop New York is meant to provide attendees with frameworks for how to address these trends, how to gain a stronger voice in their organizations and how to meet the tech-driven business needs of their constituents.
This year, I've had the pleasure of being asked to curate the "Business of IT" track, and, in doing so, have had the further pleasure of interacting with some amazing leaders who are connecting IT and business. Here's a glimpse of what you'll see in my track:
• Larry Quinlan , Global CIO of Deloitte, speaking to us on IT and business value: Quinlan will examine how cultivating a sense of possibility and excitement within your organization around what technology can do for its people as well as its clients can correlate to bottom-line business goals and result in increased value.
• Vala Afshar, CMO and CCO of Enterasys Networks, telling us how the CMO and CIO need to be best friends: While marketing and IT may not seem like natural partners, marketing is getting more and more complex, data intensive and technology-driven. CIOs can partner with marketing leaders to optimize the use of technology and drive toward ensuring a customer-driven approach that benefits the entire business.
• Sunny Gupta, CEO of Apptio, helping us align IT and the business through Technology Business Management: Gupta will delve into TBM, a framework for IT executives to help them run their shops more like their business. He will discuss strategies for building strong customer relationships, delivering valuable products and services, and being accountable for financial performance.
• Michael Simon, CEO of LogMeIn, introducing us to the Internet of things and how it affects our lives: Simon will explore various plans for smart cities and smart business of the future, and show through practical demonstration how life in our world will evolve on the IoT.
• Bob Friday, SVP of Cisco, enabling us to think about mobile networks as part of our comparative advantage in the business: Friday will show how mobile networks provide the right formula to help your business accelerate transformation and deliver differentiated experiences. He'll discuss real-world case studies across a variety of industries, including healthcare, retail and higher-ed.
What excites me most about these sessions is that they combine strategy and forward thinking with a large dose of practicality. As IT and the business converge, we need to clarify the role of IT professionals in shaping and nurturing the end goals of the company.
Also exciting is the zealotry that these luminaries bring to the mix. By zealotry, I mean the desire to perform and achieve, the relentless focus on the loftiest goals in technology and business, and the desire to elevate IT to its rightful place.
The celebration of IT that is Interop is enhanced by the presence and interaction of experts above as they interact with the community by teaching, learning and sharing.
