Emmy-nominee Josh Charles feels no pressure to win Supporting Drama Actor for "The Good Wife" tonight: "'Someone asked me the other day, 'Are you super-nervous?' And I'm really not right now,' says the former Baltimore School for the Arts student, who is vying for best supporting actor in a drama series on television. 'I've been to the Emmys before, though I've never been individually nominated. But I'm really just going to enjoy myself. I'm excited to see friends,' adds the co-star of the CBS drama 'The Good Wife,' which is up for nine Emmys, including best drama and best actress in Julianna Margulies." BALTIMORE SUN
Kate Winslet out front to win an Emmy for "Mildred Pierce," competing against a pair of Brit productions: "In HBO's 'Mildred Pierce,' Winslet, 36, plays a divorced single mother who decides to open a restaurant business during 1930s Depression-era California. The role was famously played by Joan Crawford in a 1945 film noir. Winslet's nomination is for best actress in a mini-series, which pits her against Elizabeth McGovern, who plays the Countess of Grantham in ITV1's 'Downton Abbey.' Jean Marsh is also nominated in this category for her portrayal of parlour maid Rose Buck in the BBC's 'Upstairs, Downstairs.'" BBC
Married Emmy nominees Will Arnett and Amy Poehler stay casual during Emmy rehearsals: "Poehler, a double nominee for producing and starring in 'Parks and Recreation,' went makeup free for Saturday's rehearsal. Dressed casually in jeans, a button-down blouse, nude pumps and a ponytail, the actress jokingly presented an Emmy to Barack Obama, 'for this rehearsal only.' When producers asked her to practice accepting an award for an absent winner, Poehler playfully admonished the fake winner: '(He) thought he was too special to come tonight,' she said. 'Bad move.'" CBS
Emmy host — and nominee — Jane Lynch loves the spotlight: "'I'm a group person,' says Jane Lynch, sounding utterly unlike 'Glee's' scathing Sue Sylvester. 'I love taking the spotlight, and I love giving it.' As she hosts the Emmy Awards (Fox, 8 p.m. ET Sunday), she'll be doing a bit of both; she could also win her second Supporting Actress statuette. Lynch, 51, talks to Mary Margaret about marriage and her just-published memoir, 'Happy Accidents.'" PARADE
Emmy rivals Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Fallon end their best-friends-for-six-months relationship: "The hosts embarked on a whirlwind six-month friendship, which has sadly now reached its end. On Friday on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,' the host was visibly upset at his lost friendship. 'Six months ago I made a best friend. His name is Stephen Colbert,' said Fallon in his opening. 'Time flies when you're best friends with Stephen Colbert,' he said. Fallon then shows a clip of his visit to Colbert's Comedy Central show the night before, when the duo officially ended their friendship. It did not end smoothly. There's even a cameo by Anderson Cooper, who offers himself up as a substitute friend." HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Saturday Night Live's" Emmy winning Lonely Island will make an appearance at tonight's telecast: "Sources are buzzing about Jane Lynch's opening number and a live number by the Saturday Night Live digital video masters, the Lonely Island guys, both featuring 'awesome cameos.' It is unclear whether Charlie Sheen, who is expected to appear on the show tomorrow, will take part in any of them. But the two numbers are described as highlights of the ceremony and as "epic". The Lonely Island Guys, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer and Andy Samberg, Emmy winners for their collaboration with Justin Timberlake 'D*ck in a Box,' were also nominated with Timberlake this year for '3-Way' but lost out to another Timberlake song from the May 'SNL' show he hosted." DEADLINE
Entertainment Weekly counts down the all-time worst Emmy mistakes, including letting the reality hosts emcee the event in 2008: "In 2008, there was this cool new-ish phenomenon: Reality TV! How could the stodgy old Emmys breathe fresh life into their broadcast? Hey, let's let reality stars like Ryan Seacrest, Heidi Klum, Jeff Probst, Tom Bergeron, and Howie Mandel host the show! Now, mind you, each of these people does excellent work at their day jobs (yes, even Howie Mandel, though we liked him better in 'St. Elsewhere'). But as hosts meant to replace trained laugh-getters in the tradition of previous hosts including Johnny Carson and Bill Cosby? Let's get real…" EW.COM

FORT WORTH -- Shantaniqua Nykole Scott's life changed drastically at age 17 when she gave birth to a baby boy.
She went from being a carefree teenager to a single, unemployed mother who could no longer attend school.
So on July 16, 2010, prosecutors say, Scott decided to get her old life back by trying to take the life of her son, Rhaidyn.
"I put my hand over his face," Scott told a detective in a tape-recorded interview. "He stopped breathing. ... I didn't want to deal with the stress and the fact that I had a kid any more."
Scott's recorded confession was played for jurors Wednesday during the opening day of testimony in Scott's trial, which is being held in state district Judge Scott Wisch's courtroom.
Scott, 18, of Waco has been charged with two counts of injury to a child/serious bodily injury, stemming from allegations that she tried to smother her son by placing a blanket and then her hand over his nose and mouth while the child was in the hospital.
If convicted, she faces a sentence that ranges from probation to life in prison.
During her opening statement, prosecutor Rainey Webb, who is trying the case with Eric Nickols, told the jury to prepare themselves for what they were going to hear and see.
Webb told the panel that 4-month-old Rhaidyn was flown from a Waco hospital to Cook Children's Medical Center in Fort Worth, where he was being treated for recurring, life-threatening gastroesophageal reflux that was causing him to stop breathing.
But after he arrived at Cook's, Webb told the jury, a doctor suspected something else was causing the baby to stop breathing and placed him in a video-monitored room.
Webb said that the doctor's suspicions were confirmed July 16 when a code alarm sounded, indicating that the boy's vital signs were failing. Medical personnel rushed in and revived the baby, but a check of the video showed Scott pressing a blanket, then her hand over the infant's face to block his breathing.
"There was no medical condition that made this baby stop breathing," Webb told the jury. "It was this defendant's hand. ... I wish we didn't have to show this video to you. A few more seconds and he would have been dead. ... Her disregard and her selfishness nearly cost the child his life."
Defense attorney David Jones reserved his right to make an opening statement later in the trial, but he suggested through cross-examination of witnesses that the baby did not suffer serious bodily injury because of the incident.
After opening statements, prosecutors called Fort Worth Detective Dennis Hutchins of the crimes-against-children unit, who investigated the case and interviewed Scott. She had initially denied doing anything to harm her baby.
But after Hutchins repeatedly told her that he "absolutely" knew that she done something, she confessed. Among other things, she told Hutchins how she had no job to support her son, that the baby's father wanted nothing to do with them, and how difficult it was being a teenage mother.
Late in the afternoon, the courtroom fell silent for more than 10 minutes as jurors watched the video, which first showed Scott holding a blue Winnie the Pooh blanket over her son's face for 21 seconds before taking it away. A short time later, she leaned against his hospital crib, with her head in her hand, and nonchalantly held her hand over his mouth and nose for a minute and 14 seconds. The baby can be seen kicking his legs and flailing his arms before finally going limp.
Emergency personnel rushed in and worked on the baby, who would have died without medical help, said Dr. Sami Hadeed, the Cook's doctor who had been trying to determine what was wrong with Rhaidyn before the incident. He said the video still haunts him.
"You have a baby who was being smothered by his mom," Hadeed said with tears in his eyes. "He fought endlessly before he basically quit. I still get emotional and I get night sweats every time I think about it. I take care of the sickest of the sick, and I cannot get over a baby who is perfectly healthy and whose life was endangered by someone who was supposed to protect him."
The child is currently in foster care.

Inventory Models
When the annual demand rate for a product or goods is constant, the inventory model is called deterministic. However, when the demand rate is not constant and not deterministic, the inventory model is called probabilistic and is best described by a probability distribution. The minimum-cost order quantity and re-order policies are based on the assumptions of the demand rate. PROBABILISTIC INVENTORY MODELS
1.A single-period inventory model with probabilistic demand
The single-period inventory model refers to inventory situations in which one order is placed for the product; at the end of the period, the product has either sold out, or there is a surplus of unsold items that will be sold for a salvage value.
The single-period inventory model is applicable in situations involving seasonal or perishable items that cannot be carried in inventory and sold in future periods.
Example of items or goods that fit to the single-period inventory model is seasonal clothing like swim wears for summer. Purchaser of swim wear outlets places one preseason order for this item and then experience stock out or hold clearance sale of surplus stocks at the end of the season. No items are carried in inventory to be sold during the rainy season.
Another example is newspapers which are ordered daily and either sold or not. Newspapers cannot be carried in inventory to be sold the following day or following week.
Since the items are ordered once for the period, the only inventory decision to be made is how much of the product to order at the start of the period. 1.a. Incremental analysis
Incremental analysis is a method that can be used to determine the optimal order quantity for a single-period inventory model. It addresses the how-much-to-order question by comparing the cost or loss of ordering one additional unit with the cost or loss of not ordering one additional unit.
The optimal order quantity, Q is determined when the incremental analysis shows that...

Winter Criteria
Winter Precipitation Types
- Rain – moisture condenses into drops and then falls.
- Freezing Rain – rain that freezes when it lands on surfaces below freezing.
- Sleet – frozen precipitation melts and refreezes into ice pellets.
- Snow – water crystalizes and falls to the ground without any melting.
- Radar can make a "best guess" at the precipitation type, but it could still change before it hits the ground underneath the radar beam.
- Snow to sleet, sleet to rain, rain to freezing rain, etc. but wait till the change has "taken hold."
- Thunder during a snow event.
Ice accretion
- Measured radially from the twig, grass blade, fence, etc.
- Report accretion starting at ¼″
- Can cause a lot of damage to trees and power lines due to the added weight of the ice
- If the ice is uneven, measure both sides and take the average.
- Report rain when temperatures are below 30°F.
- Structural damage
- Coastal flooding
Measuring Snow Fall
- First 2″ of snow
- Every additional 2″-3″ of snow
- 1"/hr or greater snow
- If total snowfall is less than 2″ just report final depth.
- Always report final total, don't leave NWS hanging!
Proper methods to measuring snow depth:
- Measure in several places that are not affected by trees, buildings, or other local obstructions.
- Areas that are clear, flat and open. Avoid drifts and bare areas.
- Average your numbers together and report to the nearest 0.1″. For example 3.25″ becomes 3.3″.
Should you clear your spot?
- Not necessary.
- If you do decide to clear, wait 6 hours between clearings.
- Useful during larger storms as snow compaction can lessen total snowfall amounts.

Anyone up for a day trip to North Devon soon?
A Sunday would be good, leave around 3/4 am, spend the day hitting some ND spots and head home in the early evening?
I have a car and soft rack so 3/4 people max with 1 board each. It's a small Peugeot, 1.6 petrol. Not the best on fuel so if someone has a good diesel that may be better but happy to drive and use mine.
Any takers?

Defining Service-Learning
Service-learning is "a method under which students learn and develop through active participation in thoughtfully organized service experiences that meet actual community needs, that are integrated into the students' academic curriculum or provide structured time for reflection and that enhance what is taught in school by extending student learning beyond the classroom and into the community." (Corporation for National Service, 1990)
Service-learning has been defined as "both a program type and a philosophy of education. As a program type, service-learning includes myriad ways that students can perform meaningful service to their communities and to society while engaging in some form of reflection or study that is related to the service. As a philosophy of education, service-learning reflects the belief that education must be linked to social responsibility and that the most effective learning is active and connected to experience in some way." (Research Agenda for Combining Service and Learning in the 1990s)
Service-learning programs are explicitly structured to promote learning about the larger social issues behind the needs to which their service is responding. This learning includes a deeper understanding of the historical, sociological, cultural, economic and political contexts of the needs or issues being addressed." (Jane Kendall, National Society for Experiential Education, 1990)
Service-learning is "any carefully monitored service experience in which a student has intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what he or she is learning throughout the experience." (National Society for Experiential Education, 1994)

Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Gurbir S. Grewal announced today the arrests of MARK A. HOLDBROOKS (DOB: 01/16/1957; single; and unemployed) of 67 Macarthur Avenue, Closter, New Jersey, and DAVID VICTOR, a/k/a "King Victor" (DOB: 11/25/1980; single; and unemployed) of 2502 Cortelyou Road, Apt. 2H, Brooklyn, New York for the murder of Michael WRIGHT (DOB: 01/07/1980) in Closter, New Jersey, in November 2015. The arrest is the result of a year-long joint investigation conducted by members of the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Squad, under the direction of Officer-in-Charge, Deputy Chief Robert ANZILOTTI, the Closter Police Department, under the direction of Chief Dennis Kaine, the New York City Police Department 70th Precinct Detective Squad, under the direction of NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce, and the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office under the direction of Acting District Attorney Eric Gonzalez.
On Sunday, November 8, 2015, at 9:21 p.m., the Closter Police Department received a telephone call reporting a missing person. Police officers responded to 67 Macarthur Avenue, Closter, New Jersey, to interview HOLDBROOKS, the person who made the report. HOLDBROOKS reported that he had not seen nor heard from his close family friend and roommate, WRIGHT, since 1:00 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 2015. On November 10, 2015, WRIGHT'S body was located within a white-colored Lexus registered to WRIGHT in the area of 98 East 16th Street in Brooklyn, New York. WRIGHT's body was concealed by a large garbage bag in the rear of the vehicle, and it was determined that WRIGHT had suffered head trauma. The Closter Police Department was notified by the NYPD of the discovery of WRIGHT'S body, at which time the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Squad was also notified and joined the investigation.
During the year-long investigation, detectives determined that WRIGHT was drugged and murdered in his Closter home by HOLDBROOKS, his longtime roommate, and HOLDBROOK's accomplice, VICTOR. Detectives determined that, following the murder, HOLDBROOKS and VICTOR loaded the body of Michael WRIGHT into WRIGHT'S white Lexus. VICTOR then drove the vehicle with WRIGHT'S body to 16th Street in Brooklyn where he abandoned the vehicle, while HOLDBROOKS remained at the Closter home.
As a result of the investigation, HOLDBROOKS and VICTOR were arrested on November 1, 2016 in New York City by detectives from the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office, the Closter Police Department, and the NYPD 70th Precinct. Each were charged with the following offenses: one count of Murder, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:11-3A (1-2), a first degree crime; Possession of a Weapon, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:39-4D, a third degree crime; Desecration of Human Remains, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:22-1A(1), a second degree crime; Hindering Apprehension, in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:29-3B(1), a third degree crime; and Possession of Gama Hydroxybutyrate ("GHB"), in violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10.2, a third degree crime.
The Honorable Susan STEELE, P.J.Cr. of the Bergen County Superior Court, set bail at $3,000,000.00 with no ten percent option for each defendant. HOLDBROOKS and VICTOR are awaiting extradition from New York to New Jersey. Upon arrival to New Jersey, a first appearance will be scheduled.
Acting Bergen County Prosecutor Grewal states that the above charges are merely accusations and that the defendants are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Acting Prosecutor Grewal would like to commend and thank the members of the Closter Police Department, the NYPD 70th Precinct Detective Squad, and the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office for their extraordinary assistance in this investigation.

Oregon has a unique planning program in which the state sets land use policies and regional and local governments must implement those policies through their comprehensive plans, zoning regulations and land use actions. While unique, the Oregon system is not the only one in which state governments participate.
Hawai'i, Washington, California and a few other states have moved beyond the model of the 1920s in which all land use power is delegated by state legislatures to local governments without further state participation, except for zoning appeals to the courts.
Another state in which the state government was a major participant was Florida, which adopted its land use system in 1972, a year before Oregon's Senate Bill 100. That system evolved from the Environmental Land and Water Management Act of 1972, which created two programs: one providing for Areas of Critical State Concern (ACSC), and another which dealt with Developments of Regional Impact (DRI). The first program paralleled Oregon's Areas of Critical Concern legislation (which was unused until 2009, when it was applied to the Metolius River) and allowed for direct state regulation in those areas and the second allowed for state direction over larger projects affecting multiple jurisdictions. The Florida State Comprehensive Planning Act was passed that same year, the result of a recent drought and a perceived need to deal with the surging growth of the state in the face of inadequate local resources. As further amended in 1985, this Act required the Division of State Planning of the Florida Department of Administration to prepare a state comprehensive plan designed to "provide long-range guidance for the orderly social, economic, and physical growth of the state," setting forth goals, objectives, and policies.
Since 1985, Florida has required each of its cities and counties to formulate a comprehensive plan, land use regulations and actions that are consistent with the state plan. The program had strains – the budget was usually inadequate for public expectations; many property rights groups disliked state intervention generally and in their local projects in particular, and local governments were often pressured to restrict development more than the law allowed. But it was the 2010 elections that did in the Florida program, the tide that brought the Tea Party to power in that state.
Last month, the 2011 Florida legislature voted to greatly reduce the state's role in the planning process. In many cases, the state's role is now advisory with fewer opportunities to challenge plan amendments or actions. It may only appeal those actions that affect as-yet undefined "important state resources and facilities." For periodic review and a limited number of plan amendments, the state still issues a compliance determination and can challenge the amendment on any compliance criterion, not just state impacts. But the Department of Community Affairs, which ran the state's program for many years, is now relegated to a division of the Department of Economic Opportunity where it will provide primarily local planning grants.
Responding to the mantra "Let cities be cities," the legislature repealed the limits on the number of plan amendments that could be heard each year by local governments and the "concurrency" requirement for roads, schools and recreation (i.e., that infrastructure must be installed or firmly available within a certain time of development approval), though water and sewer concurrency requirements have yielded to give local governments free reign to impose their own requirements.
The state's real estate industry was not an idle participant. The legislation included a prohibition on local referrals of comprehensive plans or amendments to such plans, replaying a struggle in which that industry defeated a similar statewide referendum last year which would have required such a vote on all plans and plan amendments. Florida's planning structure now effectively returns to that which existed in the early 1970s, although in some circumstances, the state may intervene.
No such "near death" experience has occurred in Oregon this legislative session, although some such bills were proposed. Nevertheless, the lessons of Florida are apparent. For all its warts, state land use policymaking does assure that the state will have a hand in those decisions that cross local boundaries. Florida will likely rue the day when development is attracted to those places with the least economic restrictions, where the cost of funding infrastructure may differ based on local boundaries, and both environment and quality of life suffer because of ideology. Oregon must remain vigilant to assure that it does not happen here.

[3/22/2016: While this is a republication of a post on our old blog, and it was, itself, a republication of thoughts by Chuck Goolsbee, the thoughts contained herein are still valuable, and we wanted to make sure that this post was still accessible.]
The never ending debate on raised floor vs solid for data centers
In working with some of our newer clients, we are often asked about our decision to go with a solid "flubber" floor over the traditional raised floor. Because we were building from scratch we had the luxury of making this very important choice.
Recently, since our laundry list of reasons was all too familiar to me, we went looking to see what other thoughts were on this topic and came across Chuck Goolsbee's ServerSpecs blog at TechTarget and his post about the merits and drawbacks of a raised floor data center environment. The blog is a little old but the points are all still valid. (See a copy by the author here.)
Data center raised floor vs. solid debate
July 10th, 2007 by cgoolsbee
I just slogged my way through Douglas Alger's 5-page excerpt from a Cisco Press White Paper purportedly discussing the merits of raised floor versus non-raised floor designs for data centers. It spends four paragraphs of the first page telling you why overhead distribution on a solid floor is not good, then rambles on for the next 4.5 pages telling you all about raised floors. It appears by that fact, and from several statements by the author sprinkled throughout the paper, that he has a strong preference for raised floor. Some of his statements about overhead infrastructure are just plain wrong, or easily mitigated. Perhaps he's never even managed a solid floor facility? So much for a thorough analysis!
Given that I am involved in the management of two facilities, both designed at the same time, but one using raised floor and the other a solid floor with overhead infrastructure, I feel like I can present a more balanced viewpoint. I agree with most of what Mr. Alger says about raised floors, both their strengths and weaknesses. He neglects a few glaring issues with raised floors, and highlights a few of their annoyances quite well, such as tile/cabinet drift. What Alger fails to do is explore the benefits of a solid floor data center; therefore let me lay those out for you:
Floor Load
Alger is living in the past when he talks about "heavy" racks weighing 1500lbs. In today's high-density reality, 1500lbs is a lightweight installation. The average installation we are seeing in our facilities today is 1800 lbs. We have several cabinets that exceed 3000lbs! I don't see this trend changing any time soon. When people have 42RU to use, or to put it more bluntly, 42RU that they are paying for, they are going to stuff it with as much as they can. This is where a solid floor really shines above raised. Got a big, heavy load? Roll it on in and set it down wherever you please. No ramps to negotiate, no risk of tiles collapsing and your (very expensive) equipment falling down into a hole.
Steel reinforced concrete slabs don't rattle, shake, shift, or break, …at least under normal circumstances. If your data center is located in an geographic region known for what I like to call "geological entertainment" your data center is likely better off with a solid floor. You can solidly secure all your infrastructure to a solid concrete slab far better than to a raised floor. The stress, shaking, and shuddering of a seismic event can displace floor tiles. The last place I want to be in an earthquake is in a raised floor data center… tiles popping, racks swaying, and the whole floor structure wobbling around underfoot does not make for a confidence-filled rollercoaster ride. I've been inside a solid-floor facility in a 7.1 earthquake; the overhead ladder-rack and server racks all moved in unison, creating an eerie wave, but the floor remained solid throughout, much to my relief.
Calculations of point loads and rolling loads become irrelevant, except for maybe your UPS gear if you are off the ground floor of your building.
Fire Suppression
Fire suppression technologies in today's data center focus on isolation of smaller zones and release of a clean agent to extinguish the fire in that area. If you have a raised floor you instantly double the number of zones you must monitor, and deploy fire suppression systems into. The server spaces as well as the plenum spaces. Zone isolation is achieved through dampers in the air handling system and solid walls. These are trivial to build and secure in a solid floor facility. Air supply and return plenums and ductwork can have automatic dampers driven by the fire suppression system. Try that in a raised floor environment of any scale and it is prohibitively expensive and in some cases just flat out impossible. In the facilities I am involved with the solid floor datacenter is protected by FM-200 and Ecaro-25 fire suppression systems throughout its entirety, whereas the raised floor data center's fire suppression is limited only to the UPS rooms.
Data center fires are unlikely, but the presence of suppression systems is a requirement for some users of data center facilities. If data centers are kept clean, dust-free, and combustible materials are kept out (almost impossible as the presence of servers is a guarantee of cardboard proliferation!) then risk of fire is low, but it can not be completely eliminated. The under foor plenum spaces are a magnet for the collection of dirt, dust, loose change, and various bits of paper, cardboard, etc. I've never seen a raised floor plenum space that wasn't dirty after a year or so of installation. How many of you have seen fire suppression extended to the plenum space under the floor? What good is it to deploy in one part of the data center and not another?
The above point leads directly to this one. Data centers should be very clean environments. Solid floor facilities are much easier to maintain to a very high standard of cleanliness. Raised floors are not. Periodic removal of all tiles is required to clean the plenum spaces. This not only is a messy hassle, it also reduces the effectiveness of the cooling systems during the maintenance interval, it also exposes your cabling infrastructure to risk of damage. My car always needs washing, and my wife will tell you I'm a slob, BUT my data centers are clean enough to eat off of… but don't even THINK of bringing food or drink into one of them! I can stand in my solid floor facility and visually scan for dirt and dust with the efficiency of The Terminator. Not so with a raised floor. Unless it was installed yesterday, all manner of dirt, dust, and debris lurks beneath every raised floor used in actual production. The raised floor advocates will try to deny this, but no raised floor will pass the repeated scrutiny of a white-glove test.
Raised floors also provide a false sense of order. If a single cable is out of place, or some rat's nest of shameful cabling lies beneath… it is hidden. No difference to the casual observer. The CEO that tours through once a year may not know whether it is the one cable or the rat's nest, but YOU will… and YOU are the one that has to manage it. Every production facility is under constant change management, and if things go unchecked for even a little while what started as a well-ordered cable plant can turn into a rat's nest pretty fast. Tracing cables under floor tiles is one of the biggest pains in the posterior any data center manager has dealt with. I have found that with all the infrastructure in plain sight, keeping it in order is at least easier. There are no surprises lurking when everything is in plain sight.
Density and Growth
The reality of high-density computing is that the data center must be able to support far more cable, power, and number of servers-per-rack than ever before. The days of eight 4U servers, a patch panel and maybe a few bits of 1U network hardware in a rack are long gone. Todays racks each need hundreds of cat-5 ports for multiple NICs, various storage connections, etc, room for forty-plus 1U servers, or maybe even a half-dozen blade chassis, and enough power to drive a Tesla Roadster from San Francisco to Seattle. If your raised floor was built even as recently as five years ago there likely just isn't enough space in your plenum to handle that much cable anymore, at least not without seriously compromising your airflow. Once you build your raised floor, you are locked in to that design. You must peer far into the future and assume infrastructure needs way beyond what is expected today. With a solid floor and overhead infrastructure, you can keep adding network and power without any compromise to cooling or air flow.
At my two facilities, I work with of both raised and solid floor data centers. The raised floor one has hit the limit of what it can power and cool, based on a seven year old design, but it still has empty spaces that will remain unused, forever. The solid floor facility is currently being expanded, while still remaining on-line and operational. It will soon be capable of more than double the watts-per-square-foot its original designers planned for in the year 2000. It'll be able to pack every rack full to 42U. The cooling system, which originally was giant air-diffusers up in a 15′ ceiling are being modified with ductwork to concentrate cold air right in front of each rack, with hot-air return plenums being routed out of the hot aisles and back into the the HVAC system on the roof. The ladder rack cable trays are not even at 20% of their capacity. This scenario is not possible with raised floor data centers, unless you can shut them down for a complete overhaul.
Contrary to Mr. Alger's claim, every solid floor data center I have worked in has had power and network terminations within reach of an average sized human being, no stepladders required. In the current solid floor facility I manage, the ladder rack is substantial enough, and the ceiling high enough to enable workers to walk on the structure itself. Ladders are only needed to ascend to it, once up you can walk around the entire facility quite safely, nine feet off the floor. The only time one needs to go up there is to install new cabling, or access the HVAC ductwork, which is rare. Working beneath the floor tiles by comparison is a miserable chore.
Having worked in both environments over the years, I'm leaning towards avoiding raised floor in the future, and sticking with solid floor facilities. To me raised floor stands as an echo of older days, when "The Data center" contained a handful of mainframes, a minicomputer or two, and men with white shirts and pocket protectors loading tapes and sitting at terminals. Entirely raised floor design just does not effectively scale to the density needs of a modern facility. I have seen hybrid facilities with raised floor plenums used solely for cooling and overhead ladder rack for power and network delivery, and that seems like a good compromise to me. But the overall benefits of a solid floor have convinced me to never look back at raised floor except as nostalgia. I suspect that I am in the minority though, as so few people have had the opportunity to experience both options first-hand. Inertia has lead people to only think of data centers in the context of raised floors.

hi to all on this site.
my name is robert roma.
my nickname is shirobanryu.
...a long time ago a rather tall young man began training with ninja.he began to share his knowledge with a wannabe ninja dreamer(and several others).this was in adelaide in 1984.some years later(in 1990)after working two jobs etc both the tall young man and ninja dreamer REALised their dream and travelled for the first time to train with ninja. several years later they parted company.the dreamer(who had/has an independent approach)was involved in such as a traffic accident and still bears the results of that to this day, set aside his training and started a family.two beautiful innocent children later and with the healing process well under way...the dream of the dreamer will no longer be ignored.
The young tall man is Ed Lomax.
I am the dreamer-robert roma.
I am now ready to train...so train i will.
Having been "absent" (in body at least) for several years i am unfit, unused to training rigors and so on. My focus over the next year or so,whilst saving for another jap.trip will be on kihon happo reacquaintance and basic weaponry.
If ANYONE out there has a training approach or suggestions for such a "recovery" PLS. PLS. contact me. also if anyone knows of a bujinkan suitable trng.group(in adelaide sth.aust.) that could accommodate a slightly worn and used ninja dreamer to get back his PLAYFUL FEEL...

The blower in your Florida air conditioner system pushes air to your home after it has been cooled. The blower is vital to getting your home to a comfortable temperature, but as with any electrical component, it can have some problems which is precisely why having the best Florida air conditioning blower motor services experts at the ready 24/7/365 is so critical. Some of the symptoms you may be experiencing are:
- A Humming Sound
- Intermittent Operation
- No Cold Air Coming Into The Home
- Stops Running After A Few Hours
- You Can Hear The Fan Outside But No Cool Air Is Moving To Your Home
Blower Fan Complications
If you ignore a blower fan issue, such as intermittent operation, the longer you leave it the more expensive the problem can be to repair. If you fail to repair your blower motor in a timely manner, the lack of airflow through the system can cause the other components to overheat and breakdown.
Blower Motor Repair Options
We can help get your blower motor working once again. Here is how we fix the most common blower fan problems:
- A Humming Sound– A humming or buzzing sound coming from your blower motor typically means it is receiving power but the blades are not turning. This can be due to a faulty capacitor, relay switch or a bad motor shaft. We will test the motor to determine the cause and replace the faulty component.
- Intermittent Operation– Intermittent operation can mean that the motor is overheating due to a faulty motor or that the relay is not working. A bad motor will typically need to be replaced while a faulty rely can be repaired to fix the issue.
- No Cold Air Coming Into The Home– Lack of cold air means that the blower motor is not working at all. This can be due to a bad connection, broken motor or faulty relay. We will test the motor to determine why it is not functioning and make the necessary repair.
We will ensure your blower motor is functioning correctly and provide you with any warranty or guarantee information.

Installation of a guest laboratory for mass-separationProject ID: INTAS-93-2339
Finanziato nell'ambito di:
Installation of a guest laboratory for mass-separation
Dettagli del progetto
Costo totale:Non disponibile
Contributo UE:EUR 24 000
Coordinato in:Germany
Argomento (i):14 - Nuclear Physics
The IRIS group at the Nuclear Physics Institute (PNPI) in St. Petersburg, and the Philipps University in Marburg, have years of experience in co-operation and joint scientific research. During their work both groups realized that not only joint research is necessary to exchange knowledge and to promote science, but it is equally important to build up the infrastructure which allows smaller groups from western Europe to work temporarily in research centers of the NIS.
Being convinced of this necessity and to facilitate their experiments both groups started to install a laboratory for mass-separation of radioactive isotopes and its scientific application. Radioactive nuclei are produced at the PNPI uniquely placed with both an accelerator and a reactor to produce the nuclei. The mass-separated isotopes can be collected for the preparation of targets and sources for beta- and gamma-spectroscopy, they can be investigated on-line by laser spectroscopy in respect to the nuclear moments, spins, nuclear radii and deformations, or they can be used for solid state physics investigations. Two other groups from western Europe became interested in this project and a work programme was formulated to support the installation of the guest laboratory.
The project will concentrate mainly in buying vacuum pumps for the mass-separator, high-tech parts of the ion source and its power supplies, and also in buying a used ring laser.

We have the added complication of the luni module having two native build targets that need to be called at different stages during the build. I had imagined a system where each module has knowledge of the dependencies for it's native code (luni would have two sets of deps). The top level build.xml would call each module in turn, and if that module finds that it's dependencies have already been built, it will go ahead and compile it's libraries. The top level build.xml would make multiple cycles through the set of modules until all have completed building, or the build has failed. However, I'm not sure this is possible in Ant.

Call Now!
Patients: (510) 931-1178
The words "aging" and "healthy" don't have to be either/or propositions. Fact is, in some ways we grow healthier as we age. We've built up so many antibodies that our resistance to virus increases. Years of brushing with fluoride toothpaste actually strengthens tooth enamel.
A little effort on your part now can help insure you'll feel as good as you'll look—years from now. As mouths age, the potential of periodontal disease is ever present. So brushing and flossing become more important than ever—along with regular dental checkups that monitor the health of your gums (and, by extension, your teeth).
Just when you thought cavities were a thing of the past, you may notice gum recession. It often happens as we age. Periodontal tissue pulls away, causing tooth enamel to erode at the gumline. That creates the potential for cavities in the exposed root. Good news: New bonding techniques can shield sensitive teeth from exposure to hot and cold, while making your smile look years younger.
Good nutrition may be even more important to mature adults than it is to children! If you shy away from certain healthful foods due to an ill-fitting denture, consider a denture reline (or, if called for, a new denture entirely). It'll make chewing easier and expand your food options. Dental implants may also be an option.
Does cosmetic dentistry make sense "later in life"? Of course! While the average age of we Americans continues to increase, more of us want to appear younger. And it's possible to reverse the darkening of tooth color that's a natural byproduct of aging (by age 60, teeth are typically several shades darker than they were at age 30).
Wouldn't you be happier with whiter, more beautiful teeth? Remember: However old you are today, you're also younger than you'll ever be again. So give us a call and let's get started!
Root Cavities†- Bonding reduces sensitivity, rejuvenates tooth shape.
Dry Mouth†- Consult your physician about your medications; consider saliva substitutes.
Tooth Fractures†- Watch out for hard foods and habits like ice chewing—too much stress.
Tooth Discoloration†- Tooth whitening brightens discolored, stained, or darkened teeth.

UpdateWednesday, September 20th, 2006
Boey is doing well right now. Her counts were pretty low last week..neutropenic..but the power of prayer has carried her through, she hasn't had any fevers, thankGOD. Her platelets have never been this low(they are always over 100,000), they are now 30,000. What's even more amazing, is when the nurse told us how low all her counts were we didn't believe her because Boey has been more spunky and sassy than EVER!! This is the first time ever she hasn't been sick from being neutropenic, or extremely fatigued from low hemoglobin. We give all the glory to God and all the prayer warriors out there. Our heartfelt gratitude to all of you for Believing in Boey and praying your hearts out during this time.
Last week after receiving her Vincristine she wasn't doing to hot. She rarely complains about any of the harsh side effects of the chemo. We were driving home from the hospital and she just started going off about how this chemo is really making her sick, how she outright refuses to get more chemo(said she is going to hide on the day of her big chemo), wants her old life back SO bad, misses all her friends, wants this to be over NOW, and then the heartwrenching "WHY ME MOM? HUH? WHY DO I HAVE TO GET STUPID CANCER? I'M JUST A LITTLE GIRL WHO WANTS TO BE WITH HER FRIENDS AND PLAY". I pulled the car over, sat on the side of the road and we just held eachother. We had our warrior pep talk, and I kept reassuring her that this battle is almost over. I reminded her that NOV 21st is not that far away..she is SO CLOSE!! I want to thank someone special for their impeccable timing. Your message to her lifted her spirits like you wouldn't believe. THANK YOU. She is so excited about NOV 21st…she calls it her CHRISSY CD AND CANCER FREE DAY!! WHOHOOOOO!!
Her next chemo is tomorrow. Her big chemo is Sept 28th, they might put if off a couple days, but so far that's the plan. After that big chemo, she will continue with weekly chemo's(just the Vincristine) and the big overnight chemo every three weeks. NOV 21ST CAN'T COME SOON ENOUGH!!
She just keeps showing this "stupid tumor"( Boey's exact words) who is BOSS!! She is the most AMAZING child in the world. Not only is she kickin this "stupid tumor's" bootie, she is DETERMINED to help other lil warriors in their fight. She is on a mission! She blows us away. She wants to help all the kids who are going through this nightmare right now, and be there hope and inspiration. She told me "if they just see how hard I fought and won mom, they will win too". A shout out to all you incredible warriors!! Nick and Mack..Boey loves YOU so much and she wants you to know she is right there with you with FULL BOEY TUDE WARRIOR ARMOR ON!!!
We will be posting the consult results with our surgeon soon. ThankGod my hubby recorded the consult. We've been told so many different things by so many different docs, we were determined to not let that happen again. We sat our surgeon down for an hour and asked him so many questions, all of which were answered. FINALLY!! We only had to wait 6 months to find out things we were never even told back in February!! To all you parents out there going through this..please make one on one consults with your primary docs throughout the treatment plan. It's VERY important so you don't become to confused like we did. We are soooo beyond exhausted with all the different feedback from so many different doctors. Yes, it's a teaching school, we understand and respect that. But we just want to talk to OUR PRIMARY DOCTOR. So we made an appt for a consult with Boey's two main pediatric oncologists for next week. We also have a few consult appts. for second opinions, we can't WAIT!!
We will update with the surgeon's exciting consult soon. BELIEVE IN BOEY and KEEP THE PRAYERS COMING. Love and hugs to all that have been there for us through this difficult time, couldn't have done it without YOU. Boey is winning and kickin some serious cancer bootie..with some VERY serious BOEY TUDE!! GO BOEY!! YOUR SO CLOSE BABY GIRL!! WE LOVE YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH BEAUTIFUL AND BRAVE GIRL..YOU ARE AMAZING!!

People blog about all kinds of things, politics, sports, cats; so why can't I blog about my beer? This blog is meant to help friends and family see what is "on tap" at the Brew Haus, as well as to share my hobby with other beer enthusiasts out there. If you have an interest in brewing, feel free to stop by the blog and see what I'm up to. If you have brewing suggestions, I'm always open to new recipes, techniques, etc. Since I'm a homebrewer, you obviously can't buy my beers. But if you want, you are always welcome to try a few (or more) with me (and chances are you'll take a few more home)!
What you will find on my blog:
- My beers
- My brew days
- Recipe's I have brewed, would like to brew, or find really interesting
- Commercial beer reviews and recommendations by me (and maybe guests – if you have an interest in sharing what you are drinking)
- Websites and other content related to brewing
- Occasional miscellaneous topics that may not exactly be related to beer, but interests me
What you won't find on my blog:
- Politics (we've all had more than our share of that)
- Pictures of my kids (I try to keep those out of the public domain)
- Pictures of my cats (my wife takes enough of those)
I hope you will follow the blog/site, and more importantly, that you'll stop by for a Brew Haus drink (sooner or later)!

Costus woodsonii comes from the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica and Panama. I have seen it the Cahuita National Park in Costa Rica growing right up to the edge of the beach in sandy soil, and it must be incredibly salt tolerant.
Some forms are about 2 meters tall but others are shorter, maturing and flowering at about 1 meter. It has bright red bracts and tubular red flowers with a very small opening to the labellum. It can fill an area and makes a showy garden plant. It grows best in sunny areas.

Missing woman's husband a 'person of interest'
NAPLES: The husband of a Collier County woman reported missing seven weeks ago is considered a 'person of interest' in her disappearance, according to deputies.
Marie Delly was reportedly last seen when her husband, Mathnald Dareus, dropper her off for work on May 17th.
But he said he did not pick her up after her shift at Walmart.
She was seen on store security cameras leaving Walmart around 4:30 p.m. on May 17th.
The Naples Daily News reports family members say Delly had been in an argument with Dareus the weekend before she disappeared, about him going to Miami with friends.
Investigators say due to the nature of their relationship, and since he was the last family member to see her, Dareus has been classified as a person of interest in the case.
Deputies say Dareus has done everything asked of him. Dareus told NBC2 he even took a polygraph test.
Still, investigators are distributing fliers in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale area, featuring photographs of Delly, Dareus and the Nissan Altima the couple shared.
Deputies think the vehicle may have been in Miami-Dade or Broward counties on the day the mother of four disappeared.
They're also reaching out to law enforcement agencies on the east coast for help.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 780-TIPS.
You can remain anonymous and be eligible for a cash reward.

Although the advising career initially brought him into the industry, Chase was attracted to the challenge of disability insurance; the topic is rarely discussed or addressed due to its confusing options and complex underwriting. With determination and ambition, Chase moved to the Disability Insurance division as North Star's National Disability Insurance Consultant. As a past Financial Advisor, he understands how to integrate a disability insurance program into an overall financial strategy so it is efficient and cost effective. He works with clients and advisors to ensure that proper consideration is given to the risks of a disabling injury or illness and how it affects the goals of a family or business.
Chase works closely with our North Star advisors to discover possible insurance options and narrow it down to a well-suited, quality product. Working with both your financial advisor and Chase will help you choose and receive a customized protection strategy to meet both your individual, your family's, or business' specific needs. Your income allows you to feel secure about your future and financial goals. But most people do not think about the affects when your income disappears. Chase believes everyone should learn and prepare for the chances this happens to you.

The past few days I've been 50km outside of Wroclaw, Poland playing with my 5 year old twin nieces (+ 3 cats and a dog) for 12 hours/day. (Children don't get tired?)
Being that I don't have kids and don't know many people who have kids I can't say I've ever been impressed by them.
But watching these kids live and play has taught me a few things.
Most importantly, to get what we want, we have to be willing to climb.
For a child trying to get to the cereal in a cupboard 10 feet high, this is literal. Most of us have less tangible obstacles, but they're obstacles none-the-less.
Just like children sometimes we'll slip and fall. If we get up and climb again we'll eventually make it to the top.

Japan prepares for Super Typhoon Neoguri
Published: 2014-07-06 23:00:00
Topics: Weather
Countries: Taiwan , Japan
The system became a typhoon – the Western Pacific equivalent of a hurricane – on Friday. Neoguri is currently turning northward about 280 miles south-southwest of Kadena Air Base, the U.S. Air Force installation on the island of Okinawa.
The U.S. Joint Typhoon Warning Center estimated Neoguri's sustained winds to be as high as 150 miles per hour as of late Monday morning U.S. time (about midnight Tuesday Japanese time), with higher gusts. This makes Neoguri the equivalent of a high-end Category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
When Neoguri's winds reached an estimated 150 mph earlier Sunday, it earned the "super typhoon" designation from JTWC. Neoguri means "raccoon" in Korean, according to a Sydney Morning Herald report.
Neoguri will continue to spin over very warm waters in a favorable atmospheric environment, allowing it to potentially become a Category 5 tropical cyclone later Monday.
Neoguri had been forecast to pass dangerously close to Okinawa on Tuesday local time (late Monday night/early Tuesday morning U.S. time). The most recent forecasts have the center passing over 100 miles to the west of Okinawa while moving north. Still, that puts the island on the stronger right-hand side of the storm, with hurricane-force winds.
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a rare emergency warning, its highest warning, Monday evening to the Miyako Island area, warning of a storm surge up to about 4 feet (1.3 meters) and offshore waves up to 46 feet (14 meters), and asking residents to prepare for the worst.
"We issue special warnings when we anticipate immense damage of a scale only seen every few decades," an agency official told WSJ.

It is that time of year again, I wanted to add some golden hues to my hair as we enter Spring and as usual I am saving myself an expensive trip to the salon and applying my colour at home.
As the title hints this is my fourth time sharing my Balayage technique, however I have been doing it for about 5 years and have lost count how many times I have carried out this technique at home. To see my other posts, using different products and colours, click here.
Let's start off with a before. I recently had my haircut so any sort of highlights I had from the last time were all chopped off. This is my natural hair colour and although I do really like it, I like to bring a little lighter colour to my face and the ends for a sun-kissed look.
What you will need: I had 2 clips for sectioning but if you have a lot of hair you will need more. A comb for back-combing.
This time I went for the L'Oreal I am Bronde Preference in colour 4. The last time I coloured my hair I used the shade 5 which is not as light. This time I wanted to go a little lighter, but still keeping it subtle and sun-kissed.
This is what is in the kit. I don't use the brush as I use my own technique to apply the colour. Make sure you read the instructions carefully before you start.
The start of the technique, I have the bottom third of my hair down and I section it into smaller pieces and back comb. It looks a little crazy, but the idea is that the back combed strands of hair will not get lightened. Once the entire process is over you will brush out the back combing and the untouched hair will blend in with the new lightened hair, for a more natural look.
Continue this process all over the hair, it will start to look really crazy, but it just means it will look more natural at the end.
I personally like to lighten all of the hair around my face, I find it more flattering. I leave this step until last so that this colour has less time to develop and again gives a subtle sun-kissed look.
Leave in for the instructed time and wash out. One of the hardest parts of this process is brushing out the back combing. You can really damage your hair if you go in too heavy-handed, so take your time and gently brush the back combing out.
The final look. I am super happy with my results, the colour is exactly what I wanted to achieve. The ends a lighter than the roots, but in a subtle way. The colours blended really well and in my opinion look quite natural and sun-kissed.
Are you brave enough to try this out at home? If you do please let me know in the comments below.
Stay stylish,
