It must be combined with a method of logically splitting the input data along block boundaries, and of launching tasks on worker nodes that are close to the data splits. MapReduce does both of these things internally along with the file-format input classes. For an application to do so directly, see the new YARN-based interfaces ApplicationMaster and ResourceManager. These are however very new and there is little documentation or examples. john From: Mahmood Naderan [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Monday, June 03, 2013 12:09 PM To: email@example.com Subject: HDFS interfaces Hello, It is stated in the "HDFS architecture guide" (https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r1.0.4/hdfs_design.html) that HDFS provides interfaces for applications to move themselves closer to where the data is located.

Offbeat boutiques turn Village into fashion alley
By Roslyn Kramer
Our Fall Collections Have Arrived boasts the business card of a West Village boutique. And thats just Betwixt, at 245 W. 10th St., catering to preteens and juniors (and the occasional small-boned adult). Collections are popping up all over the West Village in small, youthful boutiques, each with its own distinctive style. So distinctive that if anything has a must-have allure for you, grab it, as one shop owner advises her customers. It sound like a line but its true, explains Melbourne-born Elizabeth Charles, whose store bears her name. These are not shops with large inventories.
Not so long ago, collections were virtually nonexistent in the West Village. So were boutiques. About the best-known independent store reflecting the owners quirky, individual taste was Garber, the venerable nails-to-plungers hardware emporium thats just moved to Greenwich St. (rumored to be making way for a new stratospherically priced boutique, as recently reported in The Villager).
Virtually the lone exception has been NJB, a stylish outpost that has managed to thrive for 25 years until the recent influx of small hard-to-find storefronts. NJB at first stood for Not Just Baskets. But the baskets have long since gone from 15 Eighth Ave. (near 12th St) and the shop has morphed into an intriguing array of affordable casual and dressy clothes, very-in delicate jewelry, stockings and socks, and at the moment, fancifully decorated at-home slippers that come in gift bags (an easy fit if you dont know a friends shoe size).
Owner Ruth Wales carries youthful dressy dresses, separates, shirts and sweaters, including cashmeres. Not to mention accessories: gloves, hats and often-distinctive scarves. NJB is into the trend of the moment black sheer fabric, lace or mesh, layered over pink for a seductive, subtly sexy evening look. Like other West Village shops, youre sure to come across an unexpected original such as, recently, a white sweater with white flower appliqués at the roll-neck and hip. NJB often has easy but youthful pants suits for dressy and casual wear.
Five years ago Sleek on Bleecker bloomed at 381 Bleecker St. Now its named The Otter, in both incarnations memorializing the striking coiffure of owner David Valles wife.
Theres always something to covet at The Otter. Right now an elegant rose-colored V-neck satin blouse with petal sleeves is irresistible. Or a few hangers over theres the strapless black satin dress with a bow at the waist (a knockout at $155). In search of new designers, Valle has ventured to Prague, where he found the American-born Spooner, creator of an impeccable black velvet evening coat lined in shocking pink. For day-through-evening wearability, Otter has a beautifully cut velvet jacket by Lauren Moffat, with the designers signature buttons, thats become a staple at $274. Currently or at least five minutes ago the jacket comes in several colors, but they disappear rapidly. Gray can be unforgiving, but a cashmere Henley and a heavy cotton turtleneck come in skin-flattering tones.
For the very tall, theres an edgy semi-coat (or maybe a tunic) with a shawl collar and side ring closings.
Continuing north on Bleecker St., let us pause to note the recent arrival of Cynthia Rowley and Ralph Lauren boutiques across the street from the serial three-boutique Marc Jacobs store, before walking to Elizabeth Charles, on the verge of moving from 117 Perry to 639-1/2 Hudson St. Charles carries New Zealand and Australian clothes exclusively, some in soft native wool. Although Charles herself is a petite Ozzie redhead, her pants, suits, dresses and coats are generally for tall women. The market isnt large enough to make specific hem lengths economically workable down under, so many items have plenty of surplus fabric. Its unlikely youll ever find another pair of pants in the Village, and possibly in New York where Australian fish scales trim the pockets of a pair of light blue cords.
More conservatively, a pin-tucked herringbone mens fabric is used for pants, jackets and a dramatic unevenly hemmed skirt. Charles has long since sold out of her wildly successful fur boots in rabbit, mink, fox and goat, but they can be ordered.
The owners dentist pokes his head in to say hello. I never thought thered be such a place in New York with such a friendly atmosphere, the gamine fur-booted Charles raves.
lucy barnes, also at 117 Perry, sells expensive evening wear, often with full skirts and fitted waists rarely seen today; most memorably, a black circle skirt with embroidery in bronze thread. (barnes does have a straight hip-to-hem casual skirt.) Another rarely seen item is a boned corselet in riveting red. And she breaks from the stately look she does so well in a ruffled chiffon skirt and top that all but sambas out of the store.
At 636 Hudson St., Annelore has beautifully tailored, understated daytime wear by boutique owner Juliana Cho. Manhattan-centric to the last thread, Cho studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Chelsea, and proudly announces that her entire collection, including buttons, hand-knit sweaters, and the print fabric she designs every season, is made in Manhattan. Annelore designs often employ mens fabric: slacks made in black tuxedo cloth or a coatdress in waterproof linen. Located in her miniscule storefront for a year and a half, Cho loves the neighborhood but worries, I hope it doesnt get like Nolita; its so charming now.
A mom-and-pop footnote: both Cho and Charles are business partners with their husbands.
Darling, at 1 Horatio St., covered recently in The Villager, is cute and girly except when its adult and businesslike. In the former category, a bomber jacket in rose-printed black corduroy that could be worn with a micro-mini black lace over pink under slip skirt. On the down-to-earth side, Darling is truly unique in having some items made from an environmentally impeccable cotton.
Finally theres Otte at 121 Greenwich Ave., its store windows resplendent with everything cool. Open less than a year, Otte means cloths in Korean. The word does not begin to describe the array of delicately sequined and draped clothes best, but not exclusively, worn by the tall and thin. Ottes stock is low right now; customers seem to buy early and by the armful. But a pre-spring line should arrive soon. Otte stocks blue jeans and casual tops for hanging out. A brushed cotton off-the-shoulder top, at the moment available only in mushroom, is a staple.
Exhausted? One more stop next door at MXYPLYZYK the wonder shop, 125 Greenwich Ave. at 13th St., to fill the gaps in your gift list (a baseball with a subway map: how cool is that?) and as one final indulgence, a hammock to rest in until your next bout of shopping.

Manual Profiles for External Faculty & Staff
Quick Steps
- Create a Manual Profile schema component and fill out desired fields for display.
- Add the new Manual Profile component to an existing Faculty Directory component in the field marked "Manual Profiles added to the list."
- Publish both the page with the faculty listing you're adding the profile to and the Manual Profile component itself.
The Profile System contains profiles for all School of Medicine faculty and staff that can be displayed on Tridion websites. However, you may encounter a scenario where it is necessary to add non-Yale people to a profile listing on a YSM site. Manual profiles were created to address these kinds of situations.
Manual profiles allow you to to generate a profile in Tridion using the Manual Profile schema. YSM profiles are pretty extensive, so manual profiles do not have nearly as many fields available as YSM employee profiles. However, they contain all of the basic parameters, such as contact information, a biography, photograph, etc. necessary to create a profile for an external person.
The first profile in this listing is an example of a Manual Profile.
Creating & Adding a Manual Profile
Important Note: Correctly Publishing in the Building Blocks Folder
In order for the Publications List to publish on a page, you must publish the Publications Reference components in the Building Blocks folder. How you proceed to publish these will depend if your website uses a single publication or has a parent-child structure. Your site has parent-child structure if you build your components in a parent publication, e.g. "Surgery - (1)," and the Root folder with the pages of your website is in a separate child publication, e.g. "Surgery - (2) Main Site."
- For a website that is a single publication: Publish from the same folder where you built the components.
- For a website that has parent-child structure: Publish the component in the parent Building Block folder (where you built the components). When the publishing window pops up, click on the "Advanced" tab. Under "Advanced Publish/ Unpublish Settings," check off the "Also Publish/ Unpublish in Child Publications" option.
- In the building blocks folder where you have already created a Faculty Directory component for your organization(s), open and create a new "Manual Profile" component.
- Enter all required and necessary information for the non-Yale person this profile will belong to.
- Once you have entered information in the available fields, save & close your component. Publish the Manual Profile component within the Building Blocks folder.
- Then open an existing Faculty Directory component that corresponds to the organization that this individual is affiliated with at Yale.
- Find the "Manual Profiles added to the list" field at the bottom of the component.
- Click on the yellow folder to the left of the field, and select the Manual Profile you just created.
- Save & Close your Faculty Directory component. Republish your page in the Root folder.
NOTE: Make sure that the Manual Profile component is published in the Building Blocks folder and that the page housing the Faculty Directory component has also been republished!
NOTE: If you are attaching a headshot to a Manual Profile, the image must meet the following guidelines: It must be an original file, at least 300 dpi, and with the vertical side at least 300 pixels high. For headshots, images fitting this tend to be more than 500 KB in file size.

|Home > Current and future spatial distribution of ticks (Ixodes ricinus) and of hosted Chlamydia in Switzerland
This project aims to study the spatial distribution of tick, I. ricinus, and emergent Chlamydiales families hosted by them. We used presence data associated with environmental variables to construct habitat suitability indexes by using species distribution modeling from the Maxent software. Most of the variables are climatic coming from the Worldclim website, also available for future climatic predictions. Additionally, the possible evolution of those habitats was estimated considering future climate conditions in 2070. We applied the previous species distribution modeling method with predictive variables to characterize their evolution. Finally, an estimation of the population exposed to this possible emergent threat to the human health under the form of a synthetic index. This index regroups the relative population density with the combination of the possible habitat of the tick and the hosted Chlamydiae. The results showed an expected general presence over the low altitude areas for the tick, but the predictive model failed to clearly identify areas of possible important modification of their suitable habitat. The Chlamydiae also admitted a possible habitat over most of the low altitude, mostly the Plateau. Their future evolution seemed to point out a homogenization of the distribution for those families over the Plateau.

Coalition blasts idea of giving Obama more power
'Fast track' for trade agreement would be 'height of irresponsibility'
WASHINGTON – A broad coalition of conservative organizations is urging Congress to reject granting President Obama so-called "fast track" power to expedite the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, a NAFTA-like economic integration and global governance plan.
Conservative leaders speaking out against the power grab represent all three legs of the traditional Republican Party electoral stool: faith, national defense and limited government.
Speaking at a Capitol Hill press conference, Americans for Limited Government President Richard Manning called on Congress to "not cede any additional authority to a president who has spent the past six years shredding the constitutional separation of powers."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has said he is eager to give Obama fast track trade promotion authority, acknowledging, "It's an enormous grant of power, obviously, from a Republican Congress to a Democratic president."
Under fast track rules, Obama would be able to unilaterally negotiate and sign the TPP international agreement before showing it to Congress. Once he sends it to the Hill, congressional debate would be severely restricted and no amendments would be allowed.
"This president has shown outright contempt for the separation of powers enumerated in the U.S. Constitution," said TheTeaParty.net leader Niger Innis. Ceding additional legislative powers to the executive branch would be "a monumental failure of congressional Republicans to understand the nature of the president's fundamental transformation of America.
"There could be no worse lesson for this White House than for Congress to voluntarily cede additional authority to it," he added.
But Rep. Paul Ryan, the new chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, which has jurisdiction over fast track, or trade promotion authority, legislation, said, "The first thing we ought to do is pass trade promotion authority," though he wouldn't say exactly when his committee will move a bill.
Obama would use fast track trade promotion authority to expedite the TransPacific Partnership, or TPP. WND has reported that TPP grants special trade and investment privileges to nations that persecute Christians and practice Shariah.
This drew an outraged response from Sandy Rios, director of government affairs for the American Family Association. She pointed to the traditional role the United States has played in using its economic might to expand freedom around the world, saying, "Wisdom dictates that America must use all means at its disposal to resist religious persecution anywhere it is found through the power of our God-given treasure and resources. It is for this reason that American Family Association opposes passage of fast track legislation that negates Congress' ability to change the Trans-Pacific Partnership to end religious oppression in Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia."
Frank Gaffney, president and founder of the Center for Security Policy, raised objections to fast track on national security grounds.
"We know the people bringing us this deal have a record of serial malfeasance with respect to negotiations," Gaffney said. "It would not only be the height of irresponsibility to essentially give the president a blank check, it would be something that makes the Congress complicit in the next bad deal if they give the president fast track authority."
Glyn Wright, executive director of the Eagle Forum, presented remarks from conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly. She blasted Obama's assumption of congressional power "with his pen and his phone" and the secrecy surrounding the TPP negotiations, saying, "Fast track just legitimizes what the president has already done once again behind Congress' back."
Manning agreed, calling the legislation "an ill-founded grant of trust to a president who has repeatedly shown that he has outright disdain for the legislative branch."
Rather than being rushed into a vote, stripped of the ability to amend or make any changes to the agreement, Congress "should examine every aspect of any treaty that is presented to ensure that American interests are advanced," he said.
McConnell has said repeatedly he is committed to deliberating legislation under regular order, which allows for unlimited debate and unlimited amendments. But "fast track" destroys regular order, strictly limiting hearings and debate on the TPP agreement. In addition, fast track bars any amendments and the requirement for a 60-vote cloture vote.
"Senator McConnell was for regular order before he was against it," said Curtis Ellis of Obamatrade.com.
A group letter urging opposition to passage of fast track trade authority has been delivered to Congress, and American for Limited Government promised a robust effort to educate members of Congress and their constituents about the dangers of giving Obama yet more power. In addition to those at the press conference, others signing the group letter were Jenny Beth Martin, founder of Tea Party Patriots and Judson Philips of Tea Party Nation.
WND has reported extensively on the TPP, which has been described as the largest-ever economic treaty, encompassing 12 participating nations representing more than 40 percent of the world's gross domestic product. It's the frontrunner to the equally secret Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, or TIPP, between the U.S. and the European Union.
The White House, without much fanfare, wrapped Mexico and Canada into the TPP negotiations as a continuation of an effort regarded by critics as a move toward a European Union-style integration of North America, WND reported.

After five long years of planning, in 2001 CAO finally released one of their finest blends to date, the Brazilia. Tested and approved by many cigar aficionados as an outstanding premium, the CAO Brazilia has quickly become one of the highest rated cigars on the market.

An aficionado's dream, the full-bodied CAO Brazilia cigar blend consists of top-quality Nicaraguan long-filler tobaccos, a Nicaraguan binder and a dark Brazilian leaf wrapper from the nation's fertile Bahia region. As soon as you light this unique South American cigar, you'll notice a complex mix of earthiness and spice. Hearty, deep and sweet, the Brazilia finishes the one-of-a-kind smoking experience with an edgy kick you won't soon forget.
Some things are best enjoyed as you kick back and relax after a long day; some even say the CAO Brazilia cigar an excellent smoke after a hearty dinner. After all, flavor doesn't get much better than this.

Simon Cowell has warned viewers to watch out for Britney Spears' dark side on The X Factor's new series.
Simon Cowell made Britney Spears a judge on the hit talent show earlier this year (12), but he was forced to defend the pop princess amid reports she walked off the set after just 20 minutes.
The Toxic hitmaker later admitted she had been suffering "panic attack after panic attack" while shooting the series - but Simon Cowell is adamant viewers will love Spears' turn on the panel, as she's the programme's new Mrs. Nasty.
He says, "I've seen the first show and I think it's sensational. I think the girls do a great job and the contestants are great. The show looks different than anything we've ever made before.
"She is a fascinating person because you just don't know anything about her. She's very unpredictable. You never know what is going to happen. She has taken this very seriously and she's surprisingly quite mean."
And it's clear there is no bad blood between the music mogul and the pop star - they were full of praise for each other after spending Sunday (09Sep12) together.
In a post on Twitter.com on Sunday, he writes, "I spent the day with britney. She really is quite charming", prompting Britney Spears to respond, "Oh now you want to be nice! Hehe. U are quite charming yourself... today was fun!"

Strategic Acquisition Elevates Staffing 360's Presence in the High-Growth International Staffing Industry
Strategic Acquisition Elevates Staffing 360's Presence in the High-Growth International Staffing Industry
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Dec 10, 2013) - Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB: STAF), a public company engaged in the provision of international staffing services in IT, financial, accounting, healthcare, and cybersecurity industries, announced today that it executed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire Initio International Holdings Limited, and its respective subsidiaries. Initio generated approximately $75 million in revenues during 2012. Closing of the acquisition is expected to occur on or about January 3, 2014.
Initio is full-service staffing company with established brands in the United Kingdom and United States. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Staffing 360 Solutions will acquire all the issued and outstanding stock of Initio and it will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As a result of the acquisition, Brendan Flood, Chairman of Initio, will assume the position of Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Staffing 360 Solutions. Included in Mr. Flood's extensive staffing history are positions as former CFO of the Americas for Monster Worldwide, Inc., which generated approximately $1.8 billion of annualized revenue during 2002, and CFO/COO of Hudson Global, Inc. (a NASDAQ listed company).
"Our acquisition of Initio will be a landmark event in our corporate history," stated Allan Hartley, Chief Executive Officer of Staffing 360 Solutions. "Not only does it demonstrate our ability to deliver accretive acquisitions from our pipeline, Initio boosts our overall size and scale by a significant margin, expands our cross-border presence in Europe, and brings decades of industry expertise by combining our executive management teams into a publicly traded vehicle. Initio is a highly synergistic complement to Staffing 360 Solutions' strategic growth plans as we join forces in the industry."
Initio's UK division, Longbridge Recruitment, was established in 1989 and is an international multi-sector recruitment company, with a long history of success catering to the sales & marketing, technology, legal and IT solutions sectors. Initio's US division, Monroe Staffing, was established in 1969 and is a full-service consulting and staffing agency serving clients ranging from new startup organizations to Fortune 100 companies. Monroe has over 13 offices throughout the US.
"We are thrilled with the opportunity to join the Staffing 360 Solutions team and take this company to the next level," stated Brendan Flood, Chairman and CEO of Initio. "With my background as former CFO of the Americas for Monster Worldwide, Inc. and a key architect in the Initial Public Offering and NASDAQ listing of Hudson Global, Inc., a major international staffing organization, I know what it takes to lead publicly listed companies and grow them into highly successful global enterprises. Our strategic vision is to do the same for Staffing 360 Solutions as we expand our global footprint and maximize growth potential, both in the United States and around the world. We believe that Staffing 360's publicly stated objective of $300 million in revenues over the several years is highly achievable."
Additional management changes at close of the Initio acquisition include Matt Briand, the current President and CEO of Monroe Staffing Services, LLC, a subsidiary of Initio, assuming the position of Co-CEO of Staffing 360 Solutions, and Allan Hartley, our current CEO, assuming the position of Co-CEO along with Mr. Briand.
"This acquisition represents a major inflection point for Staffing 360," commented A.J. Cervantes, President of Staffing 360 Solutions. "The pure size of the Initio acquisition, which represents approximately $75 million in fiscal 2012 revenues, combined with our existing operations places us in the top 30 public staffing companies in the United States. As we continue to extend our reach in countries around the globe, we look forward to relaying our exciting developments and important milestones, all while maintaining a steadfast commitment to growth in revenue, earnings and ultimately shareholder value."
Staffing 360 Solutions believes that a consolidation strategy is ideally suited for the highly fragmented temporary staffing industry. The management team has been engaged in the development of a comprehensive program to create a robust pipeline of prospective acquisitions. Staffing 360's latest acquisition agreement with Initio represents a key validator of this strategy's successful implementation.

1. Kazumi Root Vanish (£30.00)
Available in five different shades (including light brown, dark brown, black, blonde and copper) this handy little touch-up product has become a firm favourite of mine. When I sit down to style my hair and notice a few strands of grey popping out, I can literally 'colour them in' with this liquid formula. The brush makes it super easy and fast, while the texture of the liquid ensures coverage without overloading the hair; all you need to do is dry the product in using your hairdryer and you're good to go. Not only is the result a complete eradication of any grey hairs, but the formula hydrates and nourishes (thanks to the inclusion of 22 botanicals including Japanese Seaweed, Ginseng Root and Yuzu extracts,) while leaving no residue or crustiness. Although it specifies it will last until your next shampoo, I often find it lasts up to a week before I need to re-apply.
2. Colour Wow Root Touch-Up (£28.50)
One of the original concepts that makes touching-up on-the-go super simple, this powder formula can be used on fully dry and styled hair to conceal any grey areas. Think of it like applying eyeshadow to your roots, blending the colour in to create a really natural finish that doesn't flake or budge; the double-ended brush allows precision and discretion, while the innovative pigments adhere to hair without being sticky, oily or dulling. This formula is even water-resistant, meaning it's not going to wash out if it rains or you jump in the pool - it even lasts between shampoos, although I would definitely recommend a touch-up every time you wash your hair. (I find on my dark hair it tends to fade with each wash.)
3. Maria Nila Colour Refresh (£16.99)
Although this hasn't been designed specifically to cover greys, it's a great product to boost the overall look of your hair and help those pesky greys blend in much more subtly. The treatment nourishing masque contains colour pigments to freshen and boost hair when it becomes dull, lifting the tone and helping to reflect the light. (Grey hair is such because it can't reflect the light, which becomes a lot more obvious when surrounded by rich chocolate pigments!) Not only is Maria Nila free from sulphates and parabens, as well as being made from 100% vegan ingredients, but it's super quick to use - just pop it all over your hair for ten minutes before your step into the shower. Et voila!
Do you use any products to help you cover greys when popping to the hairdresser isn't an option?

Notes on method and some initial results
Ecotopia Revisited is a multi-methodological effort: that is, we want to ask our key questions in a variety of different ways. Now that we're finished with the data collection, we would like to provide a basic explanation of our methods as well as some initial findings.
Survey methodology:
Between July and October we passed out questionnaires at the communities we visited, including the annual meeting of the Northwest Intentional Communities Association. One hundred and forty persons completed the survey, providing us with demographic information and information about a variety of issues concerning nature, spirituality, and political and social ideals. Our survey asked about how strongly respondents identified themselves with certain descriptors (e.g. "environmentalist," "rational," etc.) and with certain places (e.g. "the United States," "your watershed," etc.). The survey was also structured around several scales, which use respondents' answers to a series of inter-related propositions to measure their feelings about a broader concept; for instance, about the degree to which they share the ecological values espoused in Callenbach's Ecotopia. We developed six scales—measures of basic concepts or attitudes—for this questionnaire:
- Transcendent Sacredness: Is nature sacred because of a creator God?
- Immanent Sacredness: Is nature sacred in and of itself?
- Ecotopia: Do the key themes of Ecotopia ring true?
- Dystopia: Does the future portend terrible possibilities?
- Seeking: Is one's spirituality a kind of "quest"?
- Dwelling: Is one's spirituality rooted in "tradition"?
Interview methodology:
Over this same period of time we conducted 24 focus group interviews at 14 different communities across the state of Oregon. We used a computer program to "code" the videotaped interviews, tagging the video files with a set of labels in order to create a searchable database that renders visible the commonalities and divergences among our many hours of interview footage. Without belaboring our coding system, we paid close attention to spatial scales (global, regional, and local), valuation (positive and negative), temporal scales (past, present, and future), thematic domain (science, religion, nature, society, politics, economics, etc.), and to common keywords. This allows us to instantly find, for example, all those places in our interviews where discussions of global issues coincided with worries about the problems the future will bring. Using these analytical tools as the basis for our initial interpretations, we can revisit each of the questions with which this research project began.
What are the continuities and departures between Pacific Northwesterners living inside and outside of intentional communities?
- Across the scales used in this study—with one notable exception—there was remarkable similarity between the responses of residents of intentional communities and others. Both groups demonstrated roughly equivalent tendencies towards "ecotopianism," "dystopianism," "seeking," and "dwelling."
- One statistically significant difference was that residents of intentional communities were somewhat more likely to ascribe to the view that the source of the "sacredness of nature" could be described as "immanent," rather than "transcendent."
- Both groups were also equally likely to describe themselves as "environmentalist," as "rational," and as "spiritual."
- There was also a small degree of difference in the willingness of respondents to apply the labels "politically conservative" and "morally conservative" to themselves; these terms resonated somewhat more strongly with those not living in intentional communities.
- Our statistical analysis of the interviews indicates that Oregonians living in intentional communities are more likely to associate discussions of the environment with negative appraisals of the future ("ecopocalypticism").
At what scales of place do their dreams and nightmares take root?
- One of the most intriguing features of our initial findings regards the different kinds of conversations that our interviews prompted about global, regional, and local issues. In short, there was a strong current of pessimism at the national and global scales and an increasing optimism at the regional and local scales. In other words, the fears and anxieties expressed by contemporary Oregonians are much more strongly focused on national and global issues; and conversely, their hopes and dreams are more attentive to regional and local issues. This speaks directly to the questions of empowerment and disempowerment on which so many of our interviews turned.
- Our pilot survey (the version we used to test out the phrasing of questions) was administered online to respondents all over the United States and even internationally. The results suggest that many of the attitudes and ideas typically cited as characteristic of "Ecotopia" are widely shared across geographic regions, thus questioning whether the Pacific Northwest is culturally, religiously, or environmentally distinctive.
What do our hopes and fears tell us about ourselves?
- This question continues to shape our thinking about Ecotopia Revisited and continues to guide the direction our analysis and follow-up research takes.
- We hope to continue to develop a better understanding of these questions by extending our survey to a national audience. Are the anxieties and fears, hopes and dreams that shaped the our interviews and that prompted the kinds of responses we received to our survey questions shared by Americans living in other parts of the country?
[…] very provocative result Evan mentioned in his recent blog involved the similar values we found among members of intentional communities vs. other communities […]

Max George and his actress fiancee Michelle Keegan have called off their engagement - a week after the British pop hunk made his feelings for Jennifer Lopez known during an appearance on American Idol.
The Wanted star confirmed the sad news during a phone chat with Idol host Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Tuesday (10Apr12), and initially appeared to be too upset to continue.
After one of Ryan Seacrest's sidekicks, Ellen K, asked Max George if it was true he's engaged, the singer said, "No, no, not any more," before the line went dead.
The radio presenter eventually managed to get back to Max George, who stated, "I don't know what happened there," but he seemed unwilling to dwell on the questions about his love life.
He took to Twitter to clear up the hang-up, writing, "Hey everyone, so just to clear up any rumors, me and Shell are still very much together, just there is no wedding. The call got cut off.... And made it sound much worse."
But it's clear the singer has a crush on a bigger star - he planted a kiss on Jennifer Lopez when he met her during an appearance on Idol last week (ends06Apr12), and admits he's very fond of the actress/singer.
Asked by Ryan Seacrest who the biggest flirt in The Wanted is, the 23 year old said, "If it's someone along the lines of Jennifer Lopez, then it's me."
And he confessed that Jennifer Lopez's current boyfriend Casper Smart was not thrilled by his love rival's forwardness: "He gave me about four jabs in the ribs for kissing her."

"Did I do that?". As Steve Urkel, Jaleel White, was a real comedy legend, creating perhaps the funniest character since The Three Stooges themselves. And it seemed like a great idea to bring back this legendary actor for DANCING WITH THE STARS. But, then it seems that it also brought out former abuse claims from his former wife as well. This week, his ex, Bridget Hardy, claimed that White once punched her in a breast implant she had and then smashed her body into a toilet, breaking the toilet. It was a horrible story. Yet, if such a story was true, then why didn't she call police at the time?
Jaleel White blames his recent success, if you can actually call it that, by appearing on DANCING WITH THE STARS for bringing out his ex-wife's statements. White claims that some judge's order won't actually allow him to comment on the abuse allegations. His explanation may be a little bit questionable here, as it's usually lawyers with a pending case that advise their clients not to speak. No doubt we'll be hearing more about this dark cloud over all the happy memories that Steve Urkel gave us.
In the series finale of FAMILY MATTERS run over on CBS during one Summer, Steve Urkel finally convinced Laura Winslow to marry him after unsuccessfully pursuing her for years, and telling her, "I'm wearing you down, baby. I'm wearing you down" after every rejection. All good fans of the show prefer to believe that Steve Urkel and Laura Winslow are living happily ever after somewhere, and issues like domestic violence never ever surface.

The Nogales Unified School District continued its tradition started this semester of honoring an outstanding educator with the selection of Robert M. Bracker Elementary School Reading Specialist Penelope Munguia.
Supt. Fernando Parra presented Munguia to the NUSD governing board at its meeting March 10, 2017, noting that she had already earned honors as a Teacher of the Year and as an ambassador for NUSD.
"Ms. Munguia is a 1995 graduate of Nogales High School," Parra noted. "She works with students and teachers both to improve reading skills, and she has done an excellent job for us."
Munguia said that Bracker has always been her "home" for the 19 years she has been in education. "I have learned from many great leaders in the District," she added.

Rutherford B. Hayes
- Narrated by: Ira Claffey
- Series: American Presidents, Book 19
- Length: 5 hrs and 21 mins
- Unabridged Audiobook
- Release date: 03-07-03
- Language: English
- Publisher: Macmillan Audio
Regular price: £17.59
After years of Grant-era corruption, the Republican Party looked to the earnest and upright Hayes to revitalize their flagging and scandalized party. As the volume of protest over election results increased, the Southern Democrats threatened to oust Hayes, and so he was forced to conciliate. To the dismay of the more conservative Republicans, he struck a deal to end military occupation of the South, thus ending the Reconstruction. In retrospect, as historian Hans L. Trefousse points out, it was this decision that helped unify the country and which restored legitimacy to the Oval Office.
As chief executive, Hayes's accomplishments were mixed. His conservative financial policies helped lift the country's economic depression, and he was able to reform the civil service and quell the 1877 labor uprising. But many of his well-intentioned goals, such as a bill that would help fund education for black children, were never realized, and many contemporary historians fault him for his lack of action on these fronts.
Rather than pursue a second term, Hayes decided to retire, maintaining his reputation for temperance, authority, and stability. Ultimately, it was Hayes's ability to compromise in order to help revitalize a floundering and factionalized nation that serves as his real legacy.

This book read like a timeline of his actions and accomplishments - a Cliff Notes - a third grader's report on "What I did this summer". I must be spoiled afer reading the 2 volume bio (4 parts) of John Adams, the 2 volume bio of Teddy Roosevelt (The Rise of TR and Theodore Rex) and the excellent bio of Truman by David McCullough.
Hans Trefousse continually refers to Ari Hoogenbloom as a source of reference. When Ari's version comes out I'm getting it. Maybe everyone else should wait for that version, too. I was glad when this book was finished.

I wanted to learn about Rutherford B. Hays... I was just hoping to do so with some excitement or intrigue monologue. this was incredibly boring on a subject I am genuinely interested in learning. I will decline to listen to more books by this author and narrator.

Good & efficient bio but lacking in analysis
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Amongst TIME's 10 Forgettable Presidents this may actually his gift to the US as like the defence attorney of his pre political life he defend in his single term the institution of the Presidency.
Nicknamed "Rutherfraud" due to the 1876 election's contested nature which the author draws comparisons throughout to the 2000 Bush v Gore Florida count problems. His presidency is one that follow this, the end of reconstruction, a Grant administration that was filled with political patronage/corruption, and a Democratic Party focused on obstruct black equality.
This efficient biography takes you through his early life & education, career as an accomplished defence attorney, military service in the civil war and his political life, as well as quick retirement chapter.
I like Hayes after this book but the biography lacks a story or hypothesis about what made tick. This is most noticeable in the second half of the book where the reader expects more analysis.
The warrior aspect is a common theme in his other two biographies but I'm left feeling he was always a defence attorney in his thinking. One gets the sense his diary is dry and provides little insight but I'm guessing as the author never suggests it. I'd like to revisit Hayes with a biography more comprehensive which this descent President deserves.
Overall worth a read to be introduced to a President that might be forgotten but is worth remembering. "He serves his party best who serves his country best" - his words he lived by.
What didn't you like about Ira Claffey's performance?
The performance is dry but 3 stars - I thought from the sample the quality of sound would be worse it was actually ok. However, the post-production of music at cut points for the CD is very annoying. The music volume makes it difficult to hear the narrator.

Snow Kiting
Snowkiting is an outdoor winter sport where people uses kite power to glide on snow or ice. It's similar to kitesurfing, but using skis or snowboards. Foil kites are the most common type; nowadays some kitesurfers use their water gear such as inflatable kites. Snowkiting differs from other alpine sports in that it is possible for the snowkiter to travel uphill and downhill with any wind direction. Like kitesurfing, snowkiting can be very hazardous and should be learned and practiced with care. Snowkiting is becoming increasingly popular in places often associated with skiing and snowboarding, such as Russia, Canada, Iceland, France, Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Sweden and the Northern United States. The sport is becoming more diverse as adventurers use kites to travel great distances and sports enthusiasts push the boundaries of freestyle, big air and back country exploration.

How to Unmerge Cells in Excel
Two Methods:Unmerge a Single CellSplit Cells Across Contents of a SpreadsheetCommunity Q&A
One of many features of Microsoft Office Excel is the ability to merge or unmerge cells within a worksheet. When working in Excel, you can use the tools to split data among two or more cells within a chart or spreadsheet. Cell contents must have been previously merged before you can unmerge, or split, them. Follow the steps in this article to unmerge cells in Excel, as well as split contents across multiple cells.
Unmerge a Single Cell
1Highlight the merged cell.
2Find the Merge and Center button in the Formatting toolbar at the top of your Excel file.
- The button will display a border to show that it has been selected.
3Click on the Merge and Center button to split, or unmerge, the cell.
- Contents of the merged cell move to the upper-left cell within the range of split cells after you deselect the Merge and Center button.
Split Cells Across Contents of a Spreadsheet
1Locate the text values within your spreadsheet that you want to unmerge. Choose the cells, cell range or column.
- Cell ranges can be no more than one column wide. However, the number of rows within a cell range can vary.
- Any data that is located to the right of any selected columns may be overwritten, unless those spaces are left blank.
2Look for the Data menu at the top of the Excel document. At the Data menu, click Text to Columns to unmerge the contents of cells across more than one cell.
3Highlight the cell, range or column that you want to convert.
4Start the Convert Text to Columns Wizard. When the new window appears, choose your original data type, whether it is fixed width or delimited.
- Fixed width refers to fields within the spreadsheet that are aligned in columns. Spaces appear between each field.
- Delimited data type refers to any characters that separate each field, such as tabs or commas.
5Click Next to follow additional instructions.
- If you choose to define your data type as delimited, then follow the second step, which allows you to set delimiters according to space, comma, semicolon or tab.
- If you decide to use fixed widths, or column breaks, then follow the instructions to create a column break line, or move or delete a column break line.
6Pick the data format for each column or cell you want to unmerge. In the third step of the Convert to Text Columns Wizard, choose the column data format, whether it is General, Date or Text. Text format converts information into text, date format converts to month/date/year format and general format turns date values into dates, numeric values into numbers and other information into text.
- In date format, you can also specify date, month, year; year, month, date; month, year, date, and more.
- Data format settings apply whether you work with delimited or fixed data types.
7Unmerge cells and cell data. Click Finish to see the results of your work, and repeat the steps to unmerge other cells within your spreadsheet.
Community Q&A
My excel won't allow unmerge, and those buttons you say to select are disabled and cannot be selected! What can I do?
How do I make all merge cells to be the same size?

In the middle of September, just a few days before the scare of the big op, I ventured out to a hidden wilderness where I collected large amounts of ripe blackberries. The resulting pie was stunning.
Well, I decided to repeat the process of delicious pie making, as a neighbour had given me a bag of apples off his tree. The first pie was great. Real apple pie with a dusting of cinnamon. But the idea came into my head that apple and blackberry would be a great combination. So late on in the season I had doubts that there would be any usable blackberries left, but to my great surprise and delight many of the stems still held little clusters of ripe berries.
Preparation done and the pie was slid into the oven. Once again I decided to make it out of gluten free pastry, and to avoid a soggy bottom I blind-baked the pastry first. As a thank you to my neighbour I created two pies so I could hand one over for him to enjoy.
Need less to say once again the result was mouthwateringly delicious. Apple and blackberry is a winning combination.
As a slight aside to this weeks blog, I thought I'd share with you the stunning spectacle of the birch that sits in my garden. At this time of year its leaves have turned a golden colour, and as the sun starts to set and hit the leaves, they literally glow.

*This profession is full of intruders. Demand that anyone "teaching" Spanish Dance/Flamenco to you/your child shows you a college degree. The only Conservatories that can give a degree in Spanish Dance/Flamenco are in Spain. Artistic teachings require years of study in a Conservatory (not at any other place) to earn the Degree. For a doctor, lawyer, school teacher to be able to practice their professions they must have a college degree. Be demanding and ask for a degree in the arts!

How to program on chip flash memory with M16C Flash Starter (M3A-0806)?
The ID code is set in advance when the program in which the user set the ID code to addresses FFD4h to FFDAh is written to the flash memory. The ID in the M3A-0806 ID verification screen is used to verify the ID written to the flash memory. The ID the user inputs on this screen will not be written to the flash memory.
The first time the on-chip flash memory is programmed, ID verification will be successful no matter what value is input as the ID code in the ID verification screen (a value must be entered). If data has already been written to the flash memory, the value input in addresses FFD4h to FFDAh will become the ID code (including "FFh"). If you don't know the ID code, you can confirm it by looking up the value in addresses FFD4h to FFDAh in the HEX file of the program written to the on-chip flash memory. Note that if there are no existing values in addresses FFD4h to FFDAh of the HEX file, the ID code will be "FFh".
When ID match fails, reboot M3A-0806 and the MCU power supply.

What's happening in Afghanistan this week really hits home. Every time I see the headline "Deadliest Day in Quran Protests," all that dormant fear re-surfaces and I can barely swallow.
Perhaps it never goes away. That kind of terror stays with you for a while. Once you envision the worst thing that can happen to you, it's hard to get it out of your head.
I was working in Pakistan just over a year ago when that demented pastor in Florida was threatening to burn a pile of Qurans. Eid, the Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan, was fast approaching. The Quran controversy was escalating. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims were protesting around the world. I remember seeing the ubiquitous media coverage on the crackly TV in my Islamabad guesthouse and praying please don't do it. I'm not even religious, but I knew -- we all knew -- that if he did it, we were screwed.
One night, when we really didn't know what was going to happen, I sat on the bed poking at my daal and rice and Skyped with my parents in the U.S. through a very shaky Internet connection. They were panicking. I reassured them that where I was staying was safely secured (although I hardly felt that way). I watched a lizard slither across the bedroom wall. I smiled a meek smile. I tried to listen to them tell me something mundane about life in the suburbs, seeking anything to comfort me, but I couldn't shake off that uneasy feeling. Fear had grown around me like ivy. I kept thinking the tea boy who had brought me my dinner had looked at me weirdly. I was becoming paranoid. Of all the stupid medicines I brought in my first aid kit, where the hell was the Xanax? All I wanted to do was climb under the bed, cover my ears and wait for it -- whatever it was -- to be over.
Before shutting the light, I checked that my door was locked for the umpteenth time. I stared at the tatty velvet curtains with suspicion as they fluttered. Was someone standing behind them? No, I had already checked. It was just the AC. I then slithered under my sheets with a butter knife. Hardly a weapon but it made me feel like the warrior I knew I could be, if push came to shove. Though rather than a singular person attacking me I always knew it would be a bomb blast. I was relieved that our Regional Director wasn't staying in the same guesthouse. It would be less of a target. I was just a mid-career professional. Just a nobody. Phew.
Morning came as it always does. Daylight was easier for me to handle. At least I wasn't alone. On the way to work, the security measures were even more rigorous during this time, with protests erupting across the city. Though I knew there would always be holes. I tried not to think about them. Everything seemed starker. Everything moved in slow motion. All the security checkpoints, the circuitous routes to the office, the finger print sensors to get into any portion of the building, the throngs of lanky security guards avoiding my eye contact.
It was meant to be a special place for me, Pakistan. My mother was born in Karachi, but I had never been there before, and she had no recollection of it. Our Hindu family had fled to Bombay in 1947 when she was just a baby, when deadly riots between Muslims and Hindus had broken out across what was then only known as India.
I had always been curious about "my roots" so when severe flooding destroyed swaths of Pakistan in the summer of 2010 and I was called on to be a part of the relief effort, I willingly went. Everyone was anxious about my decision. What was this place that my family had feared so deeply? I knew there were complexities from a geo-political standpoint, but wasn't it also our homeland?
But I never received the welcome I had anticipated. I really don't know what I was expecting. On my first day in the office, the lady in Human Resources said to me: "You shouldn't even be here." Excuse me? "You have an American passport. And you're Indian. You really shouldn't be here." And although I would travel throughout the country and meet wonderful, hospitable people -- from beautiful Swat Valley down to lower Sindh -- my whole experience was somewhat tainted by that moment.
And, of course, by the Quran scandal.
At the height of the controversy, everyone looked increasingly suspicious. Our offices in Islamabad had been blown up the year before that. It was still raw -- we had lost beloved colleagues. These were people who had dedicated their lives to helping the people of Pakistan. There is always a risk of there being a hole in the security. I wasn't convinced the metal detector worked; it looked archaic. The male security officers never checked my bag, or patted me down, because I was a woman. They couldn't touch me. They let me saunter through the checkpoint unchecked. I tried not think about it. I thrust myself into work. But it got to the point where I couldn't stand to be in the building. I couldn't stand to be on the road. I couldn't stand to be in the guesthouse.
I basically couldn't wait to get the hell out of there.
Ironically, the only place I felt safe was at the bar in the basement of the Marriot hotel, which was a comforting refuge for expats. I needed to get drunk. Basically, I needed to numb my fear.
I was pissed at that pastor back then. Just like I'm pissed at those U.S. soldiers right now. Maybe it was a mistake, but still. None of this is a joke. As a society, we must demonstrate respect toward the views of others. We know the outcome of not doing that. Not doing that means risking lives.
Including those of the people out there trying to make the world a better place.
