As 2014 winds down, 'tis the season for reflection. Who does not look back fondly on their favorite movie (Boyhood is amazing!), song ("Happy" sticks in my mind), and sporting event (for those of us in Silicon Valley, the Giants winning their third [1] World Series in five years)?
Network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) led the networking/telecommunications highlights list, catalyzing unprecedented transformation not seen in decades.
Substantial Accomplishments in 2014
In the Year of Software, NFV dominated the limelight, with dramatic implications for companies, individuals, and the entire telecommunications industry. Ground zero for NFV continues to be the European Telecommunications Standards Institute Network Functions Virtualization Industry Specification Group (ETSI NFV ISG) — the body that started it all in late 2012.
Throughout the year, the ETSI NFV ISG achieved tremendous progress:
- Significant participation, with 37 operator members (one-third growth in 2014) and over 200 vendors
- On-time completion of the NFV Phase 1 (Requirements) work program, resulting in well-defined NFV use cases, architectural framework, and a solid, end-to-end requirements baseline
- Commenced planning for NFV Phase 2, with a focus on implementation and interoperability
- Seamless transition to new leadership, including a new chair and vice chair
- Highly successful Proof of Concept (PoC) program, with 28 accepted PoC multi-vendor/operator demonstrations, covering 100 percent of the NFV use cases
- Establishment of substantive liaisons with traditional SDOs, and emerging SDN industry groups and open-source projects
- Introduction of the Open Platform for NFV (OPNFV), an open-source project focused on developing an open NFV reference platform
"Looking back on 2014, it would have been difficult to envision the phenomenal progress that the NFV ISG achieved in a year's time," noted Steven Wright (AT&T), chair of the ETSI NFV ISG. "By exceeding lofty industry expectations for Phase 1, establishing a solid baseline for Phase 2, and sustaining a high level of interest and motivation throughout the ISG, I could not have asked for a better holiday gift."
NFV ISG's success can be attributed to several key decisions early on that are yielding major results:
- Maintaining focus on adoption over functionality, completeness over perfection, and inclusiveness
- Encouraging strong operator-vendor collaboration through an open forum
- Intentionally deciding NOT to produce standards, but rather influencing upstream initiatives to address operator needs
- Driving activities through operator use cases, requirements, and priorities
- Leveraging the proven ETSI governance model
Strong leadership also played a major role in the success of the ISG, along with the dedication of the NFV ISG participants, who devoted countless hours to global conference calls and quarterly plenary meetings held around the globe.
NFV ISG Vice Chair Tetsuya Nakamura (DOCOMO) applauded the ISG's efforts: "Our success is dependent upon commitment and resolve of the ETSI members, NFV participants, and their organizations. Throughout 2014, we were extremely fortunate to rely upon such a dedicated group, without which we would not be where we are today."
NFV is (rapidly) evolving
In 2015, the NFV ISG is embarking upon the next step in the NFV evolution: NFV Phase 2. Diego Lopez (Telefonica), NFV technical manager, commented: "With a solid architecture, and two years of discussions across a wide range of operators and vendors, we are ready to confront the challenges that lie ahead. We are in the process of restructuring the working groups that were so successful in Phase 1, to address NFV Phase 2, which is centered on implementation and interoperability."
Don Clarke (CableLabs), chairman of the NFV Network Operator Council shared: "Through the efforts of the NFV ISG, along with internal investigations, individual operators are setting their sights on the use cases where NFV will benefit the business most. As we shepherd the transition to Phase 2, operators are shifting their focus towards how we can operationalize NFV in a multi-vendor environment."
Introducing Open Platform for NFV
A critical element of Phase 2 is the complementary work under way in the Open Platform for NFV open source project. OPNFV, administered by the Linux Foundation, was launched in late September, and already has 40 corporate members, with active participation from vendors and operators alike. Following the lead of the NFV ISG, which shares many common members, OPNFV is breaking the mold on open-source projects by:
- Ensuring network operators play a prominent role in OPNFV
- Working in close coordination with the ETSI NFV ISG to ensure alignment on use cases and requirements
- Leveraging SDN open-source projects as a starting point, including OpenStack (Orchestrator), OpenDaylight (SDN controller framework), KVM (Hypervisor), DPDK (Data plane), etc.
- Directly liaising with and influencing upstream open-source and standards activities based on experience gained from the OPNFV reference platform
- Fostering an open, vendor-neutral ecosystem guided by the stakeholders with the most to gain: network operators
Prodip Sen (HP), chairman of the OPNFV board of directors, and the first chair of ETSI NFV ISG, observed: "While there is no formal relationship between the ETSI NFV ISG and OPNFV projects, we have many members who participate in the NFV ISG. Both organizations are seeking to break from the status quo to accelerate adoption of NFV. Success will be driven by individuals and companies who participate in these efforts, who are committed to making this happen. We are determined to not let politics get in the way. "
Early NFV success is not going unnoticed by the vendor community, where industry leaders, new players, and startups alike are responding with a number of innovative offerings including virtualized versions of their hardware-based appliances, and a range of NFV software products from embedded stacks to broad cloud service platforms.
Predictions for 2015
Looking ahead to the New Year, we would be remiss if we did not offer predictions for 2015:
- Orchestration will assume center stage: Whereas 2014 was the Year of NFV, 2015 may very well turn out to be the Year of Orchestration, with many innovative products released. We have received a glimpse of what is to come, with announcements for emerging platforms that enable automation, dynamic services and differentiated business models
- Proof of Concept demos will result in trials: The remarkable success of the NFV PoC program motivated operators and vendors alike to collaborate to validate NFV use cases and requirements. Many were on display at the ETSI PoC Zone showcased at the 2014 Layer123 SDN & OpenFlow World Congress held last October. In 2015, we expect operators to leverage their PoC demos and begin trials in the mobility, residential, and cloud services areas.
- Press releases will yield product releases: Over the past 12 months, vendors issued many NFV announcements, but far fewer actual products. By mid-year, we expect NFV product availability to increase, especially orchestration offerings, and products based on open-source frameworks.
- SDN question no more: Initially, NFV pioneers envisioned NFV as distinct from SDN. The initial NFV white paper (October 2012) depicted NFV and SDN with minimal overlap. Now, many operators' strategies consider NFV and SDN as inextricably linked. According to version three of the NFV White Paper (October 2014), "Ultimately, NFV and SDN will become less distinguishable as independent topics, being subsumed into a unified software-based networking paradigm."
- Rise of VNF ecosystems: A number of new NFV ecosystems emerged throughout the past year, driven by vendors large and small. Many are vertically integrated, with partners whose offerings comprise a broad solution. In 2015, horizontally integrated Virtualized Network Functions ecosystems will emerge, offering operators access to a diverse range of VNFs. Clearly it is in the industry's interest for one or two VNF ecosystems to thrive. Ecosystems that offer open access to all vendors — devoid of competition — have the best chance for success.
- OPNFV influence will expand: In the SDx world, validated use cases and implementations are emerging as vital elements of standards. OPNFV, is projected to rapidly gain momentum, and serve as both a proving ground for open-source projects as well as a forum to influence the industry. Rapid growth in terms of membership (many common ETSI NFV ISG participants), code contributions, and liaisons will rapidly elevate OPNFV to the top of the heap.
NFV is shaping up as one of the most significant initiatives over the past decade (or two). While no one can predict precisely how NFV will unfold, 2015 will prove to be a pivotal year in the NFV evolution, with many new opportunities, competitors, and end users emerging as products begin to surface.
Wishing everyone success on all fronts for the New Year. While predictions are always risky, one thing is clear — 2015 will not be dull.

An impoverished and illness-stricken couple in China have tied themselves together and drowned in the Yangtze River, leaving behind their son who also suffers from illness. Medical expenses in China have skyrocketed, making it harder for poor people to receive adequate medical care, and the couple's suicide is indicative of the concern of the massive population of farmers in China.
According to China Economic Net www.ce.cn , the couple who committed suicide on February 22 this year were Chen Zhengxian (38) and his wife, Yao Yuanxiang (34). They had a 12-year-old son and were farmers of Hubei Province.
The couple had suffered from several illnesses for many years before their suicide. Chen's medical records reveal he had at least three illnesses, including snail fever, hepatitis B and kidney calculus. Yao was also tormented by sciatica. Their son, Chen Zebiao, has hepatitis B, also.
On February 19, the 2nd day of the Chinese New Year, Chen's brother-in-law, Jiang Shuyi noticed that Chen's face looked extremely yellowish. Jiang reminded Chen to receive a medical examination in the hospital. Soon afterwards, Chen's relatives put together 2,000 yuan (US$260) to get him hospitalized.
Yao's brother came to the hospital to see Chen at 10 o'clock, on the morning of February 23, but Chen wasn't there. The nurse told Jiang the couple went out for a walk after she had given Chen an injection at about 6 p.m. the night before. The couple didn't return to the hospital that night. "I thought they went home already," the nurse said.
Jiang found Chen's pencil-written suicide letter on a bedside cupboard. The note read "Dear brothers and sisters, please do not feel sorry for us. Dear Mom, we apologize for being unable to take care of you any more. No matter where we go, Zhengxian and Yuanxiang are always together. The river is our final destination."
Twenty days later, an old man found the couple's corpses tied up with a belt and a rope drifting along the Yangtze River.
Chen had been diagnosed with snail fever and hepatitis B in his early twenties. However, he was too poor to pursue systematic medical treatment. What he could afford was to buy some drugs only when he couldn't endure the discomfort. Owing to his lack of physical vigor, Chen could not take up any labor-demanding jobs. He barely made a living by rice-farming on a small farm. The situation worsened when his wife was stricken with sciatica and she couldn't help with the farming work anymore.
As their child grew up, the couple needed extra money to cover his tuition. In early 2005, the couple made up their mind to seek jobs outside their homeland. They found jobs in a pottery and porcelain factory located in Guangdong Province. However, Chen's physical condition was too weak to sustain the hard work. He became so sick that he had to quit the job in less than five months.
Chen returned to his hometown for treatment for over a month , which consumed almost all of the savings he earned in the previous five months. When he got better, Chen returned to work in Guangdong. But soon after, he had a relapse of hepatitis B. He could not do anything but return home.
This is still not the end of their tribulations. Later that year, on September 28, the couple's son, Chen Zebiao, fell sick. The subsequent diagnosis showed the son had severe hepatitis B. To save Zebiao's life, Yao had to take out all of her savings, 2,000 Yuan (US$260), earned in Gaungdong and had to borrow 8,500 (US$1,100) more from relatives. But the money was used up within ten days.
Since then, neither could leave their hometown for better-paying jobs. None of the 8,500 yuan (US$1,100) they borrowed was paid back, either.
When asked for comments about the cause of the couple's suicide, Jiang said, "They simply had no money to cure the diseases."

Maunday Thursday
Traditionally, at this time of year, Christians from across the world gather together to remember the Biblical story of a man called Jesus, who led a group of male and female disciples in first century Palestine.
The story (or stories) of the Biblical Gospels tell us of how this young man spent time with a small group of close friends having a final communal meal before being arrested by the religious and political establishment of that time, brutally tortured and executed.
It is a story told that represents a prescient moment in the history of world religions and civilisation. In a traditional society with entrenched hierarchies of power and authority, the charismatic young leader, who has at times gathered crowds of thousands followers, prepares for an intimate dinner (possibly the Jewish Seda and Passover meal) with an estimated twenty to thirty close friends and family.
Before eating, however, it is custom for people of that time and place to have their feet washed by a slave. Their feet are covered with dirt and sweat having travelled mostly on foot on dusty roads, fitted only with simple sandals.
According to the historical texts, the disciples of Jesus should be at the peak of their knowledge, insight and training. Yet, predictably, like so many of us human beings, they expect a 'lesser' person to do the dirty work of feet washing.
As almost a final gesture of the young leader's life, Jesus, the man at the top of the hierarchy of the group of disciples, takes off his outer clothes, wraps a towel round him and begins to wash…to wash the disciples grimy feet.
The scene is described in chapter 13 of the Gospel of John.
In sparse words, a moment of scandalous epiphany in the history of human/religio relations is richly described. The man at the top gets down on his knees and takes the role (probably of a woman) at the lowest strata of society. For believers this scene represents even more than that…it is God Himself in human form washing dirt from the feet of human beings.
It is an often overlooked aspect of Christian teaching, that I think all of us, certainly myself, continually struggle with. Yet it shows forward a new idea in human beings relationships with one another and with God. Here we see illuminated that the path to God is downwards not upwards. We encounter God not as ruler or king, but as a servant for blood and boned, fleshly humanity.
Artist Howard Banks captures in earthy hues and subtle light a silent, close up of this scene. The figures and faces of the people involved are not revealed. We see (we believe) the hands of Jesus and the foot of one of the disciples in a tender gesture and gentle intimacy. Yet, the painting leaves open the viewer to question whose feet and whose hands are portrayed? Might they also be yours and mine? The painting is entitled Our Humble God.

I grew up in Dayton, Ohio and have always felt the urge to travel.
I took every opportunity given to me to see anything and everything that I could see from visiting family for vacations in Dallas, Texas and Denver, Colorado to driving from Ohio to San Francisco with a college buddy to help him move. I had my first opportunity to travel abroad when I was singing with the Kettering Children's Choir. We got to see the Czech Republic and Austria and my family continued on to Germany. It gave me the jitters in a good way and made me want to see so much more. I visited France in my senior year of high school with our French Club and as soon as high school was over I moved myself down to Miami, Florida to see what the southern US had to offer.
After two years in Miami, I moved myself back to Ohio and completed my education at Ohio University. With four years of school finished, I wasn't at all prepared for a desk job and so I moved to South Korea in 2006 without any knowledge of the country or language. What I thought would only be one year has since turned into many more. Seoul has been a great jumping off point to see Asia and the jobs here are plentiful.
I've been able to visit Japan, Beijing, China for the Lunar New Year celebrations, take a month long backpacking tour of Vietnam and Cambodia as well as six weeks in Nepal and northern India and South Korea itself has shown me many good times. I've visited Sydney, Australia for a fly by weekend and visited the beaches of Thailand too! In 2011, Jae-oo, a Korean national and the guitarist for long time band Every Single Day, and I were married (not just once, but twice!) and so my future in Korea looks like it'll last even longer to my delight.
If you want to read about our TWO marriage ceremonies, check out this post for info our traditional Korean ceremony and check out this post for our traditional American ceremony… where I had to coax my husband to stick his hand up my dress to get that garter because I'd forgotten to tell him about that little tradition.
In 2014, we welcomed a third member to our family which means more adventures of the family sort too!
Give me a shout out on here and let me know how your time in Korea has or is going. I hope it's as spectacular as my time has been.

Dear Friends:
We are writing to let you know about the settlement of a False Claims Act (FCA) case involving customs valuation issue that we first brought to your attention back in October of 2013.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Colorado and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced yesterday that OtterBox, a U.S.-based importer of protective cases for smartphones, tablets, and computers, agreed to pay $4.3 million to settle allegations that it knowingly undervalued imported merchandise and underpaid customs duties. The underlying complaint alleged that from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011 OtterBox knowingly omitted the value of "assists" from the dutiable value declared upon entry and knowingly made other false statements in documents submitted to CBP. A copy of the press release announcing the settlement is available here.
This case is interesting for several reasons.
First, the case was brought be a former employee who was responsible for the Company's international trade compliance. The complaint alleged that this employee brought the assist issue to management's attention, but was ignored. The complaint followed.
Second, the case presented an interesting legal issue that had not been previously addressed – namely, whether the filing of a valid prior disclosure bars a subsequent qui tam claim filed under the FCA. Although the court did not have the opportunity to decide the issue, a sizeable settlement was reached, and approved, despite the fact that OtterBox had voluntarily disclosed the same violation to CBP almost a year before the complaint was filed. This suggests that a voluntarily self-disclosure filed after the initiation of an FCA action does not bar that action from proceeding.
Third, this settlement highlights the growing trend in prosecuting trade compliance violations under the FCA. In announcing this settlement, the U.S. Attorney stated that "Customs duties are a significant source of revenue for the United States" and this settlement demonstrated that "the Department of Justice will zealously enforce their lawful collection." The combination of the financial incentives provided by the FCA (e.g. the private party bringing the complaint, known as the relator, is entitled to a portion of the recovery; here the relator received $830,000), reduced resources for CBP / U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in this area, and strong interest in prosecuting these types of cases by many local U.S. Attorney's Offices means that this trend is going to continue. CBP appears to have been more involved in this action than in others, so it will be interesting to see if CBP devotes more resources to enforcement based on these FCA actions.
Finally, this rise of private party-initiated trade compliance actions should incentivize all companies to review their internal controls over this area and ensure that they are working effectively. Otherwise, companies may find themselves embroiled in expensive enforcement actions, like those described above and below.
We hope that this is helpful. We have significant experience advising clients on how to test (and improve, when necessary) trade-related internal controls. We also are advising several clients on how best to address potential non-compliance by competitors/others. If you have any questions, or if you would like to discuss these issues further, please let us know.
Best regards,

If only time would slow down just a little. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to want to cooperate. My original plan that my husband and I would complete all the Rosetta Stone lessons before our Buenos Aires vacation proved a bit ambitious.
Nonetheless, I can happily report that our time in Argentina was enhanced because of the time we were able to spend with Rosetta Stone Spanish before we left and while we traveled. While our ability to communicate was limited since we'd only completed three units, we were able to communicate with those we met on a friendly basis. Our efforts to speak and learn the language opened doors and lead to enthusiastic responses from those we met. We did get smiles and strange looks as we struggled through some sentences, but our efforts were met warmly and we constantly found people who would correct and assist us with the language. It seemed that Spanish language tutors were everywhere.
There were many great experiences on our trip to Argentina, but the journey really started when we opened the Rosetta Stone package a month before our trip. It was fun going through the lessons and participating in online Studio sessions. I also discovered something that the Rosetta Stone ads don't tell you: when approaching this learning adventure as a couple, you can learn vicariously.
I must confess, my husband was a bit more aggressive in his approach to the lessons than I was. As he'd sit at the computer with his headphones and microphone on, I could overhear his responses in Spanish. This helped bring back all my high-school Spanish and prepare me for the trip. Based on my experience, I can announce my discovery about Rosetta Stone: learning together can make the process more fun and more effective.
We made our journey to Argentina after completing most, but not all, of the lessons we'd hoped to complete. I wish I could report that I was able to converse fully on the topics of the day with everyone I met, or that I could fully read and understand every sign and display in every museum. That didn't happen, but I was able to make myself understood in every shop, restaurant, and taxi I entered. Having studied Latin American Spanish, I was surprised to find that Argentina has different nuances in language. In Buenos Aires they speak Spanish with an Italian accent!
My husband's progress in Spanish was most surprising. He'd long been convinced he could never master another language. Yet, this man, who for the past 35 years has freely admitted to the great efforts he made to avoid having to fulfill a foreign-language requirement in college, actually conversed with people in a language other than English. He proudly ordered in restaurants, gave directions to cab drivers, and inquired as to prices of items from street vendors. And, he even managed to make himself understood while being fitted for and purchasing a custom-made leather jacket.
By the way, my husband kept his lessons up while on the road. The mobile apps that allow Rosetta Stone to travel with you are not only a great aid to learning, they're useful references when your memory fails. It was a bit disconcerting when I'd occasionally respond to a comment from him—only to discover he was speaking to the Rosetta Stone TOTALe Companion app on his iPhone.
We've returned from our vacation pleased with our progress in Spanish, and we're committed to continuing our learning. (After all, we do live in South Florida where Spanish is not exactly an unknown language.) My husband even made a trip to a local supermercado the other day. He decided to switch his coffee habit for some yerba mate, and he reported being able to complete his solo shopping experience without anyone laughing at him.

La Troienne (LT) is a lot more pervasive in modern pedigrees than you probably think. I took a simple survey of sales foals of 2008-2111 and classified them by the total numbers of crosses (presences) of LT anywhere in their pedigrees. Here are the raw results.
LT Presences Foals
0 2,388
1 5,808
2 7,885
3 8,527
4 7,339
5 5,789
6 3,577
7 2,368
8+ 1,881
The average is 3.02 presences of LT per foal. The median is three. The mode (number which appears most often) is also three.
Only 5.2% of the population (2,388 foals) has no LT at all. Which means that 94.8% of the population has at least one cross of LT in its pedigrees.
Of the 45,562 total foals, 37,366 (82%) have at least two LTs; 29,481 (64.7%) have at least three LTs; 20,954 (45.9%) have at least four LTs. And that is for sales foals of 2008-2111. For more current pedigrees, the numbers are even higher.
No wonder you see such babble that horse X is a good horse because it has four crosses of LT. Four crosses of LT is only slightly above the norm. Of the entire population, 45.9% has at least four crosses of LT.
How did we reach this level of saturation? Mainly through some of the most popular sires in modern pedigrees. The three main sources of this buildup of LT are Seattle Slew, Buckpasser, and Dr. Fager.
Seattle Slew is not inbred to LT. Neither is his dam, My Charmer. But My Charmer is inbred 4×4 to Baby League, a daughter of LT. So Seattle Slew carries two crosses of LT whenever and wherever he appears in pedigrees.
Buckpasser is the most closely related of the three. LT is his third dam.
The connection to Dr. Fager is a bit more convoluted. LT is the dam of Bimelech (her only sire son of any note). Bimelech sired Better Self, who in turn sired Aspidistra, the dam of Dr. Fager.
A.P. Indy is by Seattle Slew out of a second dam by Buckpasser. Hence A.P. Indy carries three crosses of LT wherever and whenever he appears in pedigrees (and he appears a lot).
Unbridled is inbred 4×4 to Aspidistra (on the bottom through Magic, a daughter of Buckpasser). Hence Unbridled carries three crosses of LT wherever and whenever he appears in pedigrees (and he appears a lot).
The two grandsires of Tapit are A.P. Indy and Unbridled. That is six crosses of LT right there. And there is a seventh cross elsewhere in his pedigree (which you can find for yourself if you are so inclined). So Tapit carries seven crosses of LT wherever and whenever he appears in pedigrees (and he is appearing more and more frequently as time goes by).
Bernardini is by A.P. Indy out of a mare by Quiet American (who is inbred 4×3 to Dr. Fager). That is five crosses of LT right there. And there are two other crosses elsewhere in his pedigree ((which you can find for yourself if you are so inclined). So Bernardini carries seven crosses of LT wherever and whenever he appears in pedigrees (and he is appearing more and more frequently as time goes by).
Empire Maker is by Unbridled out of mare by El Gran Senor. The latter has two crosses of LT through Buckpasser and Best in Show (a renowned and familiar name in female lines). So Empire Maker carries five crosses of LT wherever and whenever he appears in pedigrees.
You get the general idea. Deputy Minister has one cross of LT ((which you can find for yourself if you are so inclined). El Prado/Sadler's Wells/Never Bend all have the same cross of LT. The list goes on and on.
Many of the most popular names in pedigrees have at least one cross of LT. Combine them in any fashion, and the number of LT crosses grows and grows over time. Since no limitations have been placed on how far back LT appears in a pedigree, the number of crosses just keeps growing and growing. It never gets smaller.
Listed below are the prices for sales foals of 2008-2111 by number of LT crosses (presences). I have classified them only three ways: 0, 1-7, and 8+.
LT Presences Foals Average Maverage Price Index
0 2,388 $33,367 131.55 0.86
1-7 41,293 $48,609 153.30 1.00
8+ 1,881 $64,835 198.03 1.29
I will not belabor these numbers. They clearly show that the higher the number of crosses of LT, the higher the prices.
Listed below are the racetrack results for these same three categories. APPPSW stands for average Performance Points per stakes winner, a measure of the quality of stakes winners involved, the benchmark now being 694.
LT Presences Foals Stakes Winners % APPPSW PPI (Result)
0 2,388 76 3.18 881 1.19
1-7 41,293 1,387 3.36 678 0.97
8+ 1,881 80 4.25 787 1.42
The first thing you notice in the chart above is that the zero group actually performed quite well, especially relative to its low prices. Included among the stakes winners in the zero group was Animal Kingdom (9,388 Performance Points). Without Animal Kingdom that PPI falls to 1.03, still above average.
Also among the stakes winners in the zero group was Blind Luck (6,880). Without Animal Kingdom and Blind Luck that PPI falls to 0.90, but 0.90 is still higher than the Price Index for that group of 0.86. From which I conclude that a total lack of LT in a pedigree does NOT make it a BAD pedigree.
The relationship between prices and results is the most important thing and is summarized in the chart below.
LT Presences Foals Price Index PPI (Result) Difference
0 2,388 0.86 1.19 +0.33
1-7 41,293 1.00 0.97 –0.03
8+ 1,881 1.29 1.42 +0.13
Yes, the 8+ group did have a positive relationship (price of 1.29, result of 1.42, difference of +0.13). Those who claim that the more LT you have in a pedigree, the better that pedigree is are slightly vindicated.
I say "slightly" because the converse is NOT true. The zero group had a much more positive relationship (price of 0.86, result of 1.19, difference of +0.33) than the 8+ group.
What is most interesting, however, is the vast middle group (1-7), which is why I classified these groups the way I did. This group had a price of 1.00 (actually just over 0.995), a result of 0.97, and a difference of –0.03.
That difference of –0.03 might not seem like much, but is is based on 41,293 foals (more than 90% of the entire population). For the vast middle (90+%) of the population, the number of crosses of LT seems to have no effect at all (or perhaps a slightly negative effect). The zero and 8+ groups were both positive, with the former more positive than the latter.
Add it all up, and it is not exactly a ringing endorsement of the notion that the more LT you have in a pedigree, the better that pedigree is. That appears to be true only for the top 4% of all foals (the 1,881 foals in the 8+ group), while the lowest 5% of all foals (the 2,388 foals in the zero group) actually outperformed the top 4% in terms of prices versus results.
I thought that a comparison of Phalaris and LT would be pertinent at this time. Accordingly, I repeat below my final chart on Phalaris from my previous post.
Presences Foals Price Index PPI (Result) Difference
1-4 422 0.83 0.64 –0.19
5-8 14,524 0.91 0.77 –0.14
9-10 16,465 0.99 0.92 –0.07
11-16 14,151 1.11 1.35 +0.24
Note that in the case of Phalaris the lowest three groups had negative differences (1-4 at –0.19, 5-8 at –0.14, and 9-10 at –0.07). In other words, a low number of Phalaris in pedigrees did correspond with poor racetrack results. Not so with LT. The lack of LT did not hinder the zero group at all.
The highest groups for both LT and Phalaris had positive differences. The 8+ group for LT had a price of 1,29, a result of 1.42, and a difference of +0.13. The 11-16 group for Phalaris had a price of 1.11, a result of 1.35, and a difference of +0.24.
So the highest group for Phalaris (11-16) was better than the highest group for LT (8+) by a margin of +0.24 to +0.13.
Furthermore, those results for LT applied only to the top 4% of the population (1,881 foals). The top group for Phalaris (11-16) consisted of 14,151 foals (the top 31% of the population). That makes Phalaris's performance all the more impressive than LT's. The larger the number of foals, the more difficult it is to achieve results better than average.
You probably have heard the term "breed shaper" bandied about, usually in an advertising (total BS) context. The number of actual "breed shapers" in the history of the breed is extremely low. Phalaris might just be one of them. La Troienne is NOT.

AUBURN – Robert Gibbs, a longtime advisor and strategist to President Barack Obama and former White House press secretary, will deliver the commencement address to Auburn University graduates at the spring ceremony May 9.
Auburn will award an estimated 3,139 degrees during the 9:30 a.m. ceremony, which will mark the first commencement exercises to take place in Jordan-Hare Stadium since 1968. A live video stream of the event will be available on the university's website at www.auburn.edu/graduationlive.
An Auburn native, Gibbs graduated from Auburn High School in 1989 and North Carolina State University in 1993.
"I couldn't be happier to give something back by speaking to Auburn's 2011 graduating class, who enter an exciting world at an exciting time," said Gibbs. "To me, Auburn University is the heart of the community I was born and raised in and where I will always call home."
Gibbs has been an advisor and strategist to President Obama from the early days of Obama's 2004 Senate race to his election to the White House. Most recently, Gibbs has served as the president's press secretary, presiding over daily press briefings at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Gibbs joined Obama's 2004 U.S. Senate campaign as communications director in mid-April 2004 and held the same title at the onset of the 2008 presidential campaign until becoming senior strategist for communications and message during the general election. During the four years of intense campaigning and close contact, Gibbs became an integral part of President Obama's team.
According to the New York Times, Gibbs advised President Obama on politics, strategy and messaging and spent more time with him than any other advisor. Gibbs held the role as the press secretary of the Obama administration from Jan. 20, 2009, until stepping down Feb. 11, 2011.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'News' started by danny, Aug 16, 2006.
The following article was written on www.technologyreview.com.
Click here for the article.
With the announcement of the Tesla and Panasonic venture, it seems that battery overheating and battery longevity were on Tesla's list for some time.
You realize you just replied to a thread from August of 2006, basically 3 years ago?
Yes... and what wrong with that???? The concern that member has back then is still relevant today.
I'm not exactly sure why Tesla and Panasonic doing a deal has anything to do with battery overheating and longevity being on Tesla's "list". Please explain?
Because forum etiquette is to normally not revive threads that are over 2 or 3 years old. You could have started a new thread where you mentioned this. Or you could have searched and found out that Tesla actually addressed this problem in the way they designed the battery pack.

It was just like Barcelona in 1999 yet this time it was Bayern Munich who inflicted the pain in injury-time.
Not only did the Germans score a 93rd-minute winner through Ivica Olic but there was also the worrying sight of Wayne Rooney limping off at full-time after twisting his right ankle in a challenge with substitute Mario Gomez .
That injury could have big implications for United, who face title rivals Chelsea on Saturday, but it should not be too much of a worry for England for the World Cup.
Rooney had got United off to a sensational start when he opened the scoring after just 64 seconds.
However, Bayern Munich got the lucky break their endeavour deserved when Franck Ribery âs free-kick took a heavy deflection off Rooney to Ârestore parity 13 minutes from time.
And Olic had the final say when he robbed Patrice Evra inside the penalty area and danced through to slot past Edwin van der Sar.
Rooneyâs opener, his 34th goal of the season, came when Nani sent over a free-kick and, with his marker Martin Demichelis slipping, he found the space to slam home a volley.
Bayern settled after their early setback and Hatin Altintop and Olic spurned good first-half chances.
After the break, Van der Sar had kept out Thomas Muller, Altintop and MJark Van Bommel in quick succession before Bayern found a way in the 77th minute through Ribery.
United could have regained the lead when Vidic headed a Ryan Giggs corner against the crossbar.
And Gomez had the chance to seal the win late on before Olic delivered his own Barcelona moment.

At Marymount Primary we encourage conflict resolution strategies which promote the dignity of all. For further information please refer to our Grievance Brochure.
Situations of conflict arise in the school community – we are human. Conflict is a necessary ingredient for growth and change in an individual and in a community or organization. Conflict is a sign of difference in a community. As Christians however we have an obligation to work at resolving conflicts peacefully, with due respect for the dignity of all people involved. We have an obligation also to restore relationships broken or affected by the conflict. We have an obligation also, through open, honest and respectful communication, to avoid initiating unnecessary conflict.
Differences in opinion might lead to conflict if there is either no room for negotiation or little attempt from either person or group to listen to and respect the rights of another to express a point of view. As Christians we are compelled to broaden our understanding and acceptance of difference. In fact, we are called to celebrate difference.
2. Personal conflicts and disagreements are matters to be worked through by the parties concerned and cannot be allowed to interfere with professionalism in the school environment.
3. Complaints regarding the professional integrity of another staff member need to be substantiated and presented in writing. Hearsay information and gossip can be damaging and will not be acted upon. The Principal will exercise discretion as to how matters are dealt with and this is expected to be maintained in all professional grievance procedures. Confidentiality is essential in dealing with such issues in the school setting.
Parents are concerned about the welfare, safety and the holistic education of their children at Marymount Primary. As co-educators of their children and vital members of the Marymount Primary community, parents have a right to be involved in their child's learning, to be informed about their child's progress and to voice concerns when issues arise.
'Carpark gossip' slanders the good name of staff, other parents and children. When issues arise, there are usually explainable, reasonable and understandable reasons behind them. With due respect for the dignity of all people involved, issues should be resolved through open, honest and respectful communication with concerned parties.

2017 Healthy Holiday Gift Guide
And, happy holidays 🙂 I know that this season can get really crazy for a lot of us with all the extra tasks that get heaped on our plates (setting up lights, bake-a-thons, secret santa-ing, family gathering, gift buying, present wrapping…).

The dangers of a new hairdresser/
I went to get a well needed hair cut yesterday. My usual hairdresser (Miss Betty) is just that extra bit of cash, and further away, and so I have used a local salon. A lady there cut my Marilyn style crop last time, and it was fine, so off I went. The lady wasn't free so I agreed to having a guy.
This was me before haircut (the hat has an important role later):
As I knew they wouldn't be able to style it right, I said he could basically style as he wanted, as I would just set it myself at home. He said he wanted to use a curling technique he didn't get to use often. i said fine. He said it would be a modern looking curl, but a curl. So I agreed.
He then put my hair into 'china-bumps', a hairstyle I used to go clubbing in during my teenage years!
This is how I walked out of the salon......
Good god.....awful on all counts, modern or retro. Thank flip I had the afore-mentioned hat! It was so bushy it doesn't even fit in the photgraph!
I struggled to get a photo this morning, but it has now been set more appropriately! The back is a touch short, but it will grow so quickly that doesn't bother me.
I am planning on dying it pink at home tonight.....so await the potential disaster blog to come.

We can't say enough about Eddie and his company. We moved to Hollywood in February and bought house recently in Hollywood. We put our commingled things out for the town ...and being new did not know what to expect. With our things in the alley...we put it out for our regular day. Then came Hurricane Matthew. Lots of moving boxes, etc. Two weeks later we were in near tears as the town did not do anything due to our cardboard boxes, Hurricane Matthew and the King Tides. We did not want to have all of this remain in alley. Contacted them on Friday. On Sunday...when they don't usually work Eddie was at our house helping us. He and his wife were the most professional people we have met. They finally made us feel that maybe Hollywood has good people that do good things...so true here. We made a good friend and professional today. Please use this company. You will NOT be disappointed. We plan to use them for all of our needs. Thank you soooo much. Exteremy reliable, caring and the best. Do not go elsewhere!! We will be using them for everything!!!
Eddie and his team performed exceptionally. Not only were they on time and friendly, but they also delivered as promised. We had a 450sqft wooden deck to remove and replace by a 350sqft patio made of pavers. Eddie coordinated everything. Him and his team removed the entire wooden deck in less than a day and a half and the second crew created a beautiful patio with a retainer wall and steps in two days. The whole project went fast and smoothly. Any unexpected issues were also fixed in no time. Eddie is also very reliable: on time, always available on the phone, and he always kept us updated at all times. I never felt like I had to chase him to obtain updates or information. My only wish is to have another project for him to perform! Thank you again for everything you did, I will make sure to recommend you to friends and acquaintances looking to get a similar project done!
This was the first time using Gorilla and I was very pleased. There price was very fair, they were on time and very professional. They did an excellent job and I would definitely recommend them. Being a realtor, I'm always needing items hauled away from various properties so I'm actually very glad to have had such a positive experience. I will definitely be calling on them again.
Im a General Contractor and needed help with a big dump job. I called Eddie with Gorilla Garbage. He showed up quickly, gave me an extremely competitive price and when I awarded the job he was there that night starting to get the job done. Im completely satisfied with the speed, pricing and servie. If you need junk or trash removed Gorilla is the go to company!!
These guys are the best. The lowest quote by far from everyone we called. I just bought a new house and with it came some hidden junk piles. Eddie and his crew came out and cleared out a storage place for us left filled with junk and old cabinets. I stacked a bunch of dried and dead bushes and small trees which they cleared out and even cleaned the remaining debri leaving NO trace of any mess on my yard. It was a lot of work for a very fair price that I then doubled. They cleared everything out in a very short amount of time. They were so nice, too... joking and very friendly the whole time. Would hire again in a heartbeat!.. even invited them to a BBQ at my house next weekend. STRONGLY AND PROUDLY RECOMMENDED
If you would like to discuss an upcoming project you're planning for your residential or commercial property, Gorilla Garbage & Junk Removal wants to hear about it!
We're also happy to answer any questions you might have regarding our company or the property improvement services we provide.

Be there for the first "Queering the Conversation" educational panel discussion on Thursday, November 13th, 2014: "Is Religion Getting Us To LGBTQ Equality?" produced by the THE LAVENDER EFFECT®.
It is our hope is that through this conversation we can mobilize the larger community to make our world a better place for LGBTQ and Allied people - to truly Tikkun Olam.
As an official Compassion Week 2014 event, the panel will be moderated by Consulting Advisor Lee Wind, M.Ed. and will include the following confirmed participants:
* Rabbi Denise Eger (Founder, Congregation Kol Ami)
* Ani Zonneveld (Founder/President - Muslims for Progressive Values)
* Mel White (Founder, Soulforce Religious Advocacy Organization)
* Reverend Troy Perry (Founder, Metropolitan Community Church)
This event will be held at the Founders Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles and asks:
* What is our purpose as LGBTQ and Allied people?
* Do we have a higher calling?
* What are the tipping points that bring religious communities through (or to?) 'tolerance,' 'acceptance,' and ultimately to celebrating our queer lives and relationships?
* And what can we do - both as individuals and as a cross-faith spiritual community - to create LGBTQ-positive change?
The evening will begin with a reception from 7:00pm-7:30pm, followed by the panel and audience Q&A from 7:30pm-9:00pm. We've kept this a free event with a $10 suggested donation.
THE LAVENDER EFFECT® is a nonprofit of Community Partners that is advancing the future of LGBTQ history and culture. To further our mission, at the evening's conclusion, we'll be announcing our exciting new initiative to collect oral history testimonies from LGBTQ and Allied Religious Leaders.

A very interesting week it's been indeed! This week, I got to hang out with a celebrity that I'll only reference here as MR. I was part of a crew that photographed the house of this person for a notable architecture magazine. The entire experience was amazing -- working with the crew, getting to know MR a bit, and just doing everything to make sure that the job is done and done right.
People often ask me if I enjoy what I do and I always answer with a genuine yes. I get opportunities to do stuff like this and meet great people along the way. Few professions would ever let me be this lucky so I'm very thankful I get to do this almost every week. This just happen to be a very special week of that.

The Federal Ministry of Health has advised men who were treated and discharged of the Ebola virus to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least seven weeks.
The advice was given on Wednesday by Dr. Bridget Okoeguale, the Director of the Department of Public Health, during an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.
Dr. Okoeguale who said this was in line with the protocols issued by the World Health Organisation also said "there are many literatures that say that after men are infected, when the virus is not found in the blood, it tends to stay in the semen for about seven weeks to three months. What we did according to the WHO protocol is that we made sure that when the men are discharged they are given enough condoms, if they cannot abstain for that period. We advice them to abstain from sex but where they cannot abstain, they are provided condoms and after the (abstinence) period, we double test to make sure they are free."
Okoeguale said no drugs or vaccinations were given to the patients as she added that health authorities complied with WHO treatment protocol. "Our own is to help build their immunity, give them fluid to replace lost fluid through vomiting and diarrhoea", she said.
While explaining that the patients were also placed on electrolyte by intravenous fluid to avoid dehydration and the anaemic ones had had blood transfusion, she pointed out that "that is the supportive care that has helped us to be able to discharge more than five people."
The Federal Ministry of Health has advised men who were treated and discharged of the Ebola virus to abstain from sexual intercourse for at least seven weeks.

Hello there, for a quick post
We still have rather good weather, it's a bit "on and off"you could say Partly cloudy, here and there a little rainshower, then some blue sky and sunshine Temperatures all the time around 21C, so not all too bad, but for my liking it could be a bit more.
last Thirsday I got a phonecall from my friend Heidi, that they were back from holiday, so wouldn;t have to do the fish and mail on Friday Okay, that was nice and we will see eachother probably next week at some point.
Then in the evening Heidi called again and asked if I would please be so kind to walk the doggies on Friday afternoon They had to go somewhere and couldn;t take them To be honest, I wasn;t all to eager to do it, but of course i didn't say no, so Friday I went to the doggies and let them out and they were all happy with me.
Don't know if you remember, but at a time Jan also had a little laptop, but that died months ago. But we didn;t had any money then to buy a new(or used) one, so he had to wait.
But at the moment we have a bit of room in our finance, so he went looking for a nice and not too expensive second hand one.
Came back with one on Thirsday for really a nice price.
We tried it out, but I wasn;t to happy with it, it didn;t work as I would have thought, well, to be short, I told Jan we would return it and see if they had another one.
So we did yesterday and the girl at the counter was really nice and very patient with us, checked the laptop and agreed that something wan;t right about it. So we could choose another one
And so we did The girl put on a clean Windows 7 on it(yeah i know, we are in windows 10 already, but with second hands they don;t have windows 10 yet, and we don;t mind). And after about two hours I could pick it up. I also asked the girl some questions about programs and how to do some things on the computer(she was very handy) and I have even her phonenumber, if I really might need help for a problem, nice hey?
Jan's laptop has a rather big screen and the typearea is lighted, wow!
Well, I hope this one will stay alive for some time, we cannot afford to buy us new ones every year.
I kind of hope I will have a real quiet week next week, without any tubulance or nasty surprises or whatever. Then next week we will have our new central heating kettle, which would make a big difference already. With the old one, I have to check often if the pressure is still hight enough of the water level (because it is leaking).
Then have to refill it a bit and so we go on. Makes me very "restless". But with the new one and all pipes checked and so I hope all that will be over.
Really hope, that this afternoon the sun will shine a bit, so that I can sit a while in the garden, all quiet and peaceful.
Okay, I have a new kit for you, "Hello loveliness".
I should make a preview of the last made kit and upload it, otherwise I will have nothing more for download But perhaps next week I will have some peace of mind and can do that as well as design a bit more. The last two weeks or so I did almost nothing at the computer.
Now wishing you all a happy Sunday and fabulous new week to come.

It's Boat Race Weekend her on the Columbia River. The temps have been 97+ if you are in the shade but in the sun it's 100+ so a lot of the braver ones are floating on big inner tubes and just keep splashing themselves with the river. The Hydroplanes race here the last weekend in July every year and then in Sept. they all move over to Seattle to race on the lake. It's great to watch them on the TV but being on the shore is awfully Hazardous and those are LOUD boats.
Thank you for the lovely kit. I'll make something and then I'll post to my blog. Have a good week and enjoy your garden!

Wow, what a lovely surprise, 2 kits and clusters from Arlene too! I didn't realize it had been so long in my visiting with you! glad all is well, love, love, love all the gorgeous colors of flowers in your garden. Mine this year have not been so productive...probably because of the excessive winds and the high heat and low rain. I do water and feed them, but the wind seems to beat them up a lot! So happy you are getting your heating fixed..I know you will be more relaxed afterwards. So happy you found a laptop for Jan and a nice young lady to assist you when needed. I thank you for the gifts of the kits and please forward thanks to Arlene as well. All are lovely. As a matter of fact used the Revisited Memories kit for a page just day before yesterday! LOL! Have a fabulously lazy week coming up...I can hardly wait for the Olympics to begin. Hugs, Mat

Good morning Kyra. What a lovely kit. Thank you. Such wonderful news that Jan was able to find a nice laptop for himself. I am still on Windows 7 too. It works fine so why change it.
Deanne and I had a great day at yesterday's class. At the end of class, we went to the shooting range, and oh what fun we had!! I'll write about it on my blog.
We are having a few days of nice temps. In the 70's. We even had a tiny bit of rainfall yesterday. Actually it was more like a little bit of drizzle. But it was wet, so that was good.
Now I will go do my own blog, and then get ready to go do some errands. You have a wonderful day my friend, hugs, Edna B.

Thank You Kyra for the beautiful kit. I enjoy reading your blog and just love your kits.
Great news on the laptop. Good that you took the other one back. I understand how expensive things are and cannot replace every year. My pc is ready to be traded off for a new one as well.
Your garden is lovely. Have a wonderful day. Beth

Some of you may only know Taos, New Mexico as home of movie stars like Julia Roberts and Val Kilmer, but if that's all you know about Taos you are definitely missing out. Recently I had the privilege of participating in the Summer of Love media tour in Taos (which is about an hour and ten minutes north of Santa Fe) and let me tell you, it is just a fantastic place. So fantastic that there's no way to show it all to you in just one episode. Just check out the Taos Summer of Love website to see what I mean: http://www.taossummeroflove.com/
So consider this the first of several stories from this enchanting place. We begin with a story that's sure to lift your spirits as we ride in a hot air balloon with Pueblo Balloon Company. You can check them out at: http://www.puebloballoon.com/
This was my very first hot air balloon ride and it seems I saved the best for first. Sit back, relax and enjoy a peaceful trip through Northern New Mexico's skies!
I hope your summer is soaring!
Lots of love,
Rosa Linda
P.S. New Mexicast is now easier to find on Facebook because we have a custom URL: www.Facebook.com/NewMexicast

Hello! I use Arora and it makes my life easier! But I have a cuestion: Arora 0.8 is available now or It will be available soon? Please if you can, answer :).
My e-mail is email@example.com
- July 19, 2009 at 10:02 AM
Arora is shaping up nicely. Can you (any developer) comment on the following:
1.) Will you merge with Rekonq? Or are you simply going to improve the KDE integration (I think that's what Rekonq was/is for)? Because I think mostly KDE users will be interested in the browser.
2.) Any plans for extension support? Well, I and many other only really need Adblock (that supports the easylist), so if a simple Adblock was integrated that would do the job aswell.
I also hope that in the future less features will need upcoming Qt versions that are still far away to work properly :)
Keep up your great work!
- July 19, 2009 at 7:19 PM
- Benjamin Meyer said...
@Nachh: released!
@Dennis Martin
1) We will of course work with KDE/Oxygen/Qt to make Arora (and all Qt apps) better integrate with KDE out of the box. After Rekonq adds the extra KDE bits and gets working cross platform and cross desktop then merging the projects would be on the table.
A lot of the new features rely upon Qt 4.6 because of the new DOM api which was a major missing piece of QtWebKit. We are working to get a lot of the missing api in now so we can use in in the future. I don't expect this many feature to require a future Qt version.

Season 4 of the hit HBO television series, Game of Thrones, aired on Sunday night and broke records – over 6.6 million people tuned in to watch. Clearly, all this violence and torture really resonates with people! (What does that say about humanity? Yikes!) Answer the questions below to find out which psychotic/sadist/murderer you are from Game of Thrones, you sicko.
1. You love to surprise your special someone with…
a.) A severed head!
b.) A severed hand!
c.) A severed penis!
d.) The fresh blood of a king!
2. Your all-time fav hobbies are…
a.) Beheading people, killing prostitutes, and terrorizing your fiancé.
b.) Sword flights; pushing little boys out of windows.
c.) Torturing your captive.
d.) Worshipping the devil; wearing red.
3. Your dream girl/guy is…
a.) Someone whose father you just killed. Or the new gal who wears slutty dresses and asks if you're into watching while she kills stuff.
b.) Your twin. (Didn't see that one coming, did we?!)
c.) You're pretty much asexual, but you do enjoy the phallic shape of pork sausages from time to time.
d.) For now, any heir to the Iron Throne will do, but you ultimately prefer to be impregnated by the Lord of Light.
4. If you were shipped off to a desert island, the one thing you would drag with you is…
a.) Yeah, right. You'd have everyone in your entire kingdom slaughtered before you'd leave the throne for some stupid island.
b.) You're not great at wielding a sword these days, so you might as well bring your twin sis.
c.) Your torture victim. You need someone to play with!
d.) Duh! A human sacrifice, so that the Lord of Light will rescue you.
5. Your ultimate fate is to…
a.) Die a terrible, terrible death (but the fans are happy).
b.) Die a terrible, terrible death (but the fans are sad).
c.) Die a terrible, terrible death (but the fans aren't really sure who you are).
d.) Die a terrible, terrible death (but you'll probably be naked, so, the fans are happy).
Mostly A's: You're King Joffrey! You're about as fucked up as it gets. You're sadistic, violent, psychotic, and just downright mean. Let's put it this way: even your own mother is afraid of you. See a shrink, dude. And step on it.
Mostly B's: You're Jamie Lanister! Good news! You may be an incestuous killer who tried to murder a child, but you've shown that you are still capable of love and acts of kindness from time-to-time. There's hope for you yet, Kingslayer.
Mostly C's: You're Ramsey Snow! You're seriously creepy, and a little too good at torturing people, even if they do sort of deserve it. You don't seem to have any friends, and your family stays pretty far away from you, too. Hint: It's because you're a sadistic weirdo.
Mostly D's: You're Melisandre of Asshai, otherwise known as the Red Woman, otherwise known as the chick who spat out a scary smoke monster from her you-know-what! You're into seduction, human sacrifices, Red Riding Hood-esque robes, and conversing with evil spirits.

Gail Minami-Judd retired from Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on May 31, 2014, following 31 years of dedication to the National Park Service (NPS). She served as the Supervisory Park Ranger and Kīlauea District Ranger for the Protection Division since 1990.
Gail began her career at the USS Arizona Memorial on O'ahu in 1983, graduated from the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in 1986, then transferred to Hawai'i Volcanoes in 1987 as a Visitor and Resource Protection Ranger. Her supervisor, Chief Ranger Talmadge Magno, describes her career as "exemplary."
"We recognize and applaud Gail for her dedication to the mission of the NPS in protecting the natural and cultural features of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and providing the leadership to maintain the safety of staff and visitors in this dynamic environment," Magno said.
Gail's support for the Pacific Island Network, Pacific West Region, and national programs are also noted, and she achieved numerous accolades and certifications, including achieving and maintaining a Level 1 law enforcement commission for 28 years; obtaining the level of short-haul spotter in aviation; emergency medical technician; park scuba diver; and wildland firefighter and structural firefighter.
"Gail's service as Operations Chief and Incident Commander as well as Acting Chief Ranger during numerous periods and serious incidents and natural disasters were key to the success of each operation and a testament to her high level of expertise and dedication," Magno said. Some of these noted operations included:
· The Department of the Interior (DOI) Special Commendation for HAVO Drug Law Enforcement Program, 1989
· DOI Excellence of Service for Park Ranger Rescue Team, 1990
· Excellence of Service Pu'u 'Ō'ō Rescue, 1993
· Excellence of Service Emergency Response Big Island Air Crash, 1999
Gail also earned the Julie Cross Women in Law Enforcement Memorial in 1988. More recently, Gail's leadership with eruption operations led to the Andrew Clark Hecht Memorial Public Safety Achievement Award in 2009 for the mitigation of hazards and high levels of SO2 associated with the current eruptions.
Gail will remain in Volcano with her husband, former park criminal investigator Jeff Judd, and their three children.

The Ireland Reblog
Hell as imagined by Hieronymus Bosch (detail).
In a world that seems now completely taken over by evil, it might be useful to make a small reflection that some might find encouraging, or at least consoling. If you have the impression – as I do – that a huge cesspool of perversion has now become the standard of morality, please reflect on this: the cesspool has a leak.
Granted, it is a very small leak, and the cesspool does not even notice its existence. Still, it is there, and from this leak many little drops slowly, but unceasingly, drip down; mainly to hell, where they deserve to be.
We live in the presence of the cesspool, and the mighty stink coming out of it distracts us from the tiny leak at the bottom; it seems to us the stink will go on irresistibly, and dominate the world; but we know…
