text: Installed my wiikey last night. Lifted 2 pads from the dvd, so I had to solder the wires onto the chip itself. Let me tell u, not fun. What should have been an easy 1 hour job, took me 6 hours. But finally got it done. Sorry, no pictures, but doesn't look much different from the other chip solders pics that have been posted. The best advice I can give people is to get a hands free magnifying glass before installing. I ended buying one after I lifted those 2 pads and had to solder the wires onto the chip legs. If I had the magnifying glass in the beginning I wouldn't have had those problems. Anyways, everything works great. Getting a few DREs here and there, but overall very happy.

2003 MERC Legislative Summary
During the 2003
Special Legislative Session, the Legislature made numerous changes to the MERC
statute, affecting how the MERC and PMAP/PGAMC Carveout funds will be
distributed. This section outlines
the main provisions of the final health and human services and tax bills as they
relate to MERC. Where possible,
their impact on the distribution of dollars for graduate health professions
education through the MERC and PMAP distributions is also included.
Statutory changes that impact
MERC/PMAP distributions:
Elimination of the medical education endowment. The medical education endowment, which was created out of Minnesota's tobacco settlement and provides the majority of MERC's funding, has been eliminated and replaced with revenues from the existing cigarette tax. Under the revised legislation, two and a half cents per pack from the existing cigarette tax is dedicated to MERC. This would direct $8.67 million per fiscal year to MERC in FY04 and FY05, resulting in a decrease in MERC funding of approximately $625,000 in FY04 and $14,000 in FY05.
Health Care Access Fund reduction. Currently, the University of Minnesota's Academic Health Center (AHC) transfers $2.537 million to MERC each year, and a portion of the federal financial participation received on these dollars is dedicated to the dental innovations pool. Funds in the dental innovations pool are distributed competitively based on an RFP that is published each spring. Under the revised language, the amount transferred by the AHC to MERC is reduced to $2.157 million, reducing the amount available for dental innovations grants from $1.32 million to $1.12 million. This change only affects the Academic Health Center, Hennepin County Medical Center and potential future dental innovations grant recipients.
MA/GAMC/MNCare modifications. Funds from the PGAMC medical education carveout, currently directed to the PMAP/PGAMC carveout fund, will be redirected to the General Fund beginning in FY04. This change will reduce the funds available for the PMAP/PGAMC carveout by approximately $4.3 million in FY04 and $4.8 million in FY05. Additionally, while the PMAP carveout will remain and will continue to be directed to MERC, changes to MA and MnCare eligibility will lead to a reduction in the size of the PMAP carveout. At this point, it is unclear what the overall financial impact of these changes will be for MERC and for PMAP/PGAMC.
Establishment of a 0.5 FTE cutoff for eligible MERC training sites. This cutoff is to be applied at the point of application; when submitting an application for MERC funding, training programs would only include data on training sites that hosted 0.5 eligible FTEs or more for that training program. As a training site can host trainees from multiple programs, this change could affect training sites with more than 0.5 FTEs overall if no one program was responsible for 0.5 FTEs or more at the site. This proposal would eliminate approximately half of all sites from the MERC and PMAP distributions.
Revision of eligibility criteria for Advanced Practice Nursing programs. Under the revised statute, only programs sponsored by the Academic Health Center or the Mayo Foundation, or institutions that are part of the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system or members of the Minnesota Private College Council are eligible for MERC and PMAP funding.
Consolidation of MERC and PMAP funding pools. As you recall, funds from the tobacco endowment are currently distributed annually, while funds from the PMAP/PGAMC carveout are distributed twice per year. With this change, MERC funds would be combined with funds from the PMAP/PGAMC carveout to form one distribution that will replace the current three annual distributions. This will not change the application process for MERC, but it may change distribution timing.
Establishment of a new distribution formula to govern the combined MERC/PMAP pool. As you recall, the MERC distribution formula is based solely on relative education volume at each clinical training site, while the PMAP distribution formula is a 50/50 formula that equally weights both relative education volume and relative public program volume at each clinical training site. With this revision, the combined MERC/PMAP pool will be distributed using a formula that weights relative education volume at 67% and relative public program volume at 33%. This new formula results in a distribution that is very similar to that obtained using the previous separate formulas.
Revision of average cost per FTE calculation methods. The MERC distribution formula is currently calculated based on average costs per FTE for each provider type. Submitted cost data from all eligible programs within each provider type is included in this calculation. Under the revised statute, average costs per FTE for medical residents would be calculated using only the cost data from primary care programs (Family Practice, general Internal Medicine, general Pediatrics), in effect capping allowable costs for medical residencies at the average primary care rate. In the most recent MERC distribution, this change would have lowered the average cost per FTE for medical residents from $161,622 to $150,672 and reduced the grant per medical resident FTE from $9,809 to $9,693. Were this the only proposed change to the MERC formula, other eligible provider types would receive slightly higher funding relative to medical residents than they did in previous distributions. However, the establishment of a 0.5 FTE threshold for site eligibility serves to largely offset this effect.
Establishment of 10% discretionary funding pool. Finally, the legislature established a 10% "holdback" for the combined MERC/PMAP funds to allow sponsoring institutions some flexibility in the use of funds. Under this system, 90% of the combined pool will be distributed based on the new distribution formula and other changes described above. The remaining 10% of funds will be distributed to sponsoring institutions based on the percentage of the "90% pool" they received. For example, if a sponsoring institution received 25% of the "90% pool" based on the new statutory formula, that sponsoring institution would also receive 25% of the "10% holdback pool." Sponsoring institutions can choose to distribute these funds to training sites as they normally would, based on costs and public program revenue at each site, or alternatively, they could choose to develop their own criteria for awarding funds to clinical training sites, including those with less than 0.5 FTEs. Whichever distribution method is chosen, sponsoring institutions would be required to submit a report to MDH outlining the rationale used to determine funding priorities and the amount forwarded to each training site.

The Corruption of Saul
Over the past three years I have come across many people in ministry who appear to have lost their way completely (and going by the actions of some of them, their minds too!). I found myself wondering how men who were apparently so blessed when they began working for God could lose the special anointing they seemed to have and end up worse than "ordinary" people. Scripture has answers to all questions, and the first book of the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 8-31) provided many. These are answers that we can all learn from, not just those of us in ministry, and we'd be wise to apply them to our lives.

Ahead of the International Symposium on Design and Practice of Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil Structures at Bologna University on October 14th-16th 2013, Columbia's Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) has built and launched an Open Conference Systems (OCS) website for the symposium. Open Conference Systems 184.108.40.206 is open source conference management software developed, supported, and freely distributed by the Public Knowledge Project under the GNU General Public License.
The Symposium will cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to, geosynthetic-reinforced soil retaining walls, soil slopes and soil structures for railways and highways. Speakers include Professor Dov Leshchinsky of the University of Delaware, who will be giving a Special Lecture, and Professor Fumio Tatsuoka of the Tokyo University of Science, who will be giving the Bishop Lecture. The Symposium has been organized under the auspices of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Materials Engineering (DICAM), Bologna University, the Italian Geotechnical Association, the International Geosynthetics Society, The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), the Technical Committees TC 101 (Laboratory Stress Strength Testing of Geomaterials) and TC 305 (Geotechnical Infrastructure for Megacities and New Capitals) of the International Society of Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering.
Professor Hoe Ling, Professor of Civil Engineering at Columbia and a co-organizer of the Symposium, said of the website launch:
"While organizing a conference three years ago, I used e-mail to handle submissions /review process to avoid the the relatively high cost involved in utlizing the old-style submissions /review system. It was truly a painful process to correctly and effectively handle hundreds of papers and thousands of e-mails. Not long after that, I was informed that the Columbia University Libraries' Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) provided help in setting up and hosting the paper submission and review system. This was extremely helpful because although several commercial systems are now available in the market, they still require a substantial amount of one's budget in comparison to CDRS' rates. I therefore decided to approach CDRS for help, and found that they were extremely familiar with what we as conference organizers were looking for. The discussion has been easy, and within several weeks, the system was set up."
CDRS is delighted to announce the launch of the Symposium's website. "It has been an extremely rewarding experience for us to work with Professor Ling and other organizers of the Symposium to launch the Open Conference Systems site, which is under a Creative Commons BY 3.0 License. This set-up will enable authors submitting to the conference to retain copyright over their work, while allowing others to freely access, use, and share their unpublished work, with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and its initial presentation at this conference," said CDRS Director Rebecca Kennison.

The Department of Civil Engineering and Engineering Mechanics focuses on two broad areas of instruction and research. The first, the classical field of civil engineering, deals with the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of structures and the infrastructure. These include buildings, foundations, bridges, transportation facilities, nuclear and conventional power plants, hydraulic structures, and other facilities essential to society. The second is the science of mechanics and its applications to various engineering disciplines. Frequently referred to as applied mechanics, it includes the study of the mechanical properties of materials, stress analysis of stationary and movable structures, the dynamics and vibrations of complex structures, aero- and hydrodynamics, micro- and nanomechanics, and the mechanics of biological and energy systems. The mission of the Department is to provide students with a technical foundation anchored in theory together with the breadth needed to follow diverse career paths, whether in the profession via advanced study or apprenticeship, or as a base for other pursuits.
The Center for Digital Research and Scholarship (CDRS) serves the digital research and scholarly communications needs of the faculty, students, and staff of Columbia University and its affiliates. Our mission is to increase the utility and impact of research produced at Columbia by creating, adapting, implementing, supporting, and sustaining innovative digital tools and publishing platforms for content delivery, discovery, analysis, data curation, and preservation. In pursuit of that mission, we also engage in extensive outreach, education, and advocacy to ensure that the scholarly work produced at Columbia University has a global reach and accelerates the pace of research across disciplines. CDRS, led by Rebecca Kennison, is one of six entities that comprise the Digital Programs and Technology Services branch of Columbia University Libraries/Information Services. The Center was created in July 2007 to address the ongoing evolution of researchers' and scholars' needs as new technologies, policies, and systems of knowledge support arise.
Columbia University Libraries/Information Services is one of the top five academic research library systems in North America. The collections include over 11 million volumes, over 150,000 journals and serials, as well as extensive electronic resources, manuscripts, rare books, microforms, maps, and graphic and audio-visual materials. The services and collections are organized into 22 libraries and various academic technology centers. The Libraries employs more than 500 professional and support staff. The website of the Libraries is the gateway to its services and resources: library.columbia.edu.

Whole Class Writer's Workshop
Lesson 6 of 9
Objective: SWBAT take the evidence gathered for their theme essay on Of Mice and Men and begin transforming it into paragraphs for a rough draft.
The graphic organizer was started in class during the previous lesson, and my students were required to complete it for homework if they were unable to finish it in class. The first few minutes of class is spent checking that my students completed their homework.
Resources (1)
After homework has been checked, I explain to my students that today we will begin drafting their essays.
I distribute a drafting template to each student and place one on the document camera to use to guide my students through the process. I direct their attention to the cues down the left side of the template, which instruct them step by step, even sentence by sentence, how to begin drafting their essay.
We naturally begin with the introduction, as I challenge them to create some kind of hook that connects to the theme they are defending. I explain that this may take one sentence, but that it may take more than one. I give them a few minutes to develop their opening lines, and then ask for volunteers to share out loud with the whole group. This provides an opportunity for feedback, from each other as well as from me, and gives all of my students a chance to hear samples from their peers, which can provide motivation and/or inspiration to students who may struggle.
The next step is to transition into their "TAG" sentence, where they indicate the title, author, and genre of the work upon which their essay will focus. The template provides them with a sentence-starter cue, and I allow any and all students to use this sentence starter if they so desire.
The final function of the introduction is to indicate the theme that they will be defending throughout their essays. Their themes should be in a position to be readily transferred from their graphic organizers, as it was a key step in the process of the previous lesson to identify a complete and viable expression of theme.
I point out to my students that if they follow the the steps on the template, a successful introduction can be written in as little as three sentences. Of course, I add that they should not feel limited by this.
My students spend another few minutes adding their TAG sentences and their statement of the themes they will be defending, and then I allow volunteers to read their completed introductions out loud to the whole group.
Resources (4)
Next we transition into their first body paragraph, which means it is time for my students to decide on their organization. Because I did not require that they consider organization when they completed their graphic organizers, I anticipate that most have not listed their examples in the most effective order. I remind them of the conversations we had around organization from this lesson, and encourage them to think about what would be the most effective order to discuss their examples.
We then begin by following the steps provided down the left margin for developing a healthy body paragraph. Having taught high school English for many years, one consistent tendency I found in many of my students is either a reluctance or an inability to stay with their ideas long enough to develop a body paragraph to its potential. I find that providing templates for my students such as this instills a process by which they can learn to build substantial body paragraphs, and tell my students that the more they practice with the steps I provide them on such templates, the better they will get at "hiding" the formula in their paragraphs.
The steps on this template for body paragraph development are as follows:
- Introduce the example you are using from the text to support your theme.
- Provide the necessary context from the text, so that the example is clear to all readers, even those who may not have read Of Mice and Men.
- Include a quote(s) from the text that illustrates how your example supports your theme.
- Explain how and why the quote(s) you have included supports your theme.
For each step of body paragraph development, I am guiding my students and allowing them to share out loud with the whole group. Through this sharing, I am able to question my students about their peers' paragraph development: Does the example support the theme? Has enough context been provided? Does the chosen quote support how the example is being used to support the theme? Has the quote been thoroughly analyzed?
Resources (1)
With the remaining minutes left in class, I instruct my students to begin working on their second body paragraph on their own, while I circulate to assist individual students as necessary.
Before my students leave for the day, I instruct them to complete their drafts through body paragraph three onto an additional piece of paper, continuing to follow the steps provided on the template. I tell them to do their best with the conclusion paragraph, in order to complete the rough draft, explaining that I will be providing some direction for their conclusions in an upcoming class session.

Basic Data vs MARKETING in MLS – There IS a Difference
Basic Data vs MARKETING in MLS – There IS a Difference
People say it all the time when they're considering putting their home on the market and trying to decide whether or not to hire and agent, and if they're going to hire one, WHICH one will they hire. Among the many things people generally understand about agents is that most of them will "put the home in the MLS". While that may be essentially true, what often gets lost in the comparison is the differences in HOW a home might be represented in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
Let me give you an example. Some time ago I was hired to market a property that had been listed without success by two prior agents. Despite a very "balanced marketplace", the home had been on the market for 9 months with no offers. When I took the listing, my research told me there was absolutely NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PRICE! I recommended that we not change the price at all. However, I did dramatically change how the home appeared in the MLS. Here are a few particulars of how the home had initially been represented:
- Master Bedroom 1st Floor 11' by 10' No walk-in closet
- Master Bath None
- Bedroom #2 1st Floor 10' by 10'
- Bedroom #3 2nd Floor 12' by 10'
- Recreation Room 2nd Floor 16' by 12'
The home was a Cape Cod with bedrooms on both levels. When I placed the home in our MLS, among some of the other changes I made, I included:
- Master Bedroom 2nd Floor 16' by 12' Walk-in Closet
- Master Bath YES
- Bedroom #2 2nd Floor 12' by 10'
- Bedroom #3 1st Floor 11' by 10'
- Bedroom #4 1st Floor 10' by 10'
Having made no change in price, but changing how the home was "represented" in the MLS, in less than 10 days we had 4 offers, the LOWEST of which was full price. The seller accepted the lowest offer since it was cash and the buyer could close in 2 weeks time! In other words, the issue that prevented the property from getting offers previously was NOT that the seller had overpriced the property, but rather that neither of the previous agents gave any thought to using the MLS to MARKET the home...they simply did data entry!
And we all know that buyers are visual! That's what it's so important that properties be well-represented by the photos we offer. The following are sad examples of some sellers homes are being represented in the MLS. These are actual MLS photos that various agents thought were "acceptable" for the pre
sentation of their lisings.
Take a look at this first one. I realize that sometimes it's hard to get a good angle for viewing a home, but to be taking it over the roof of a car....and then not even getting the full exterior view? Whenever photos like this show up in the MLS, the first thought that comes to mind is does the seller know what their agent is doing? Worse yet, does the AGENT know what the agent is doing!
This is another one that caught my attention. Did the seller even know photos were being taken for the MLS distribution? How much extra effort would it have taken for the agent, even if the seller is not home, to take magnets off the refrigerator, all the pots, pans, bags of goodies, and pretty much everything else off the counter tops, refrigerator, stove, and oven? In less than 5 minutes, the agent could have removed everything that is distracting attention from what is really important, taken their photos, and put everything back in place. And what about the discoloration of the cabinet doors above the stove? Chances are, 30 seconds with a bit of grease remover or cleanser in the best commercial cleaning traditions could have given those doors an easy face lift as well!
This has to be the epitome of lazy! This photo was taken from the inside of a car (notice the rear view mirror), and doesn't even really have the house in the picture. There are two garages and some open field! Yes, it was winter, and no doubt cold, and while I'll admit to having taken a few exterior photos from my car...(NEVER for MLS photos...only for my own record keeping and reminders!)...they don't include the rear view mirror, nor do they include a time or date stamp on them!
One of my pet peeves is MLS photos with date stamps. There's nothing quite like bringing everyone's attention to the fact that a listing has been on the market for a VERY long time! Take a look at this. Not only is the toilet seat up (particularly noticeable since it's a different color than the toilet itself), but the inside of the vanity is on display as well. And, yes, this one DOES have a date stamp on the photo!
Rooms being photographed should be, at a minimum, tidy, clean, and "de-cluttered". No one expects the agent to clean a house before taking photos...but one WOULD expect an agent to encourage their seller to tidy up for photos. Bad photos can often mean the difference between getting a live showing on a property or not. And that difference can make a difference between getting an OFFER or not!
The point here is really quite simple: it's not enough to have an agent who just "puts a home in the MLS". Today, in many markets around the country, and certainly in the Chicago area market, a listing doesn't JUST appear in the MLS...that content is promulgated to thousands of individual agent websites and to a variety of "partner" sites as well...the most notable among them being Realtor.com! Having your home WELL REPRESENTED on the MLS can have a huge benefit in the marketing of that home...or, when done poorly, can be a huge detriment!

Brett Ratner Circling Midnight Run Sequel
With Robert De Niro ready to return.
Last May, when Vulture interviewed Brett Ratner and several other directors for our feature "How to Make a Sequel," the director of X-Men: The Last Stand and Red Dragon admitted, "I got tired of making other people's franchises ... That's why I developed Tower Heist from scratch." Well, don't hold him to that: Deadline reports that Ratner is now negotiating to direct the sequel to Martin Brest's 1988 comedy Midnight Run, with the scribes behind, uh, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra hired to script it and Robert De Niro attached to return. (Whether original star Charles Grodin will come back is an open question.) Oh, and that part of the Ratner quote we snipped earlier for the ellipsis? It reads like so: "[Making a sequel] is like producing the Oscars. You get no credit when it works, and if it bombs, then it's 'You ruined the franchise!'" This came mere months before Ratner then did decide to produce the Oscars (though AMPAS eventually booted him), and so we must ask the reneging auteur: Brett, do you understand the words that are coming out of your mouth?

The map was created by Nicholas Dias Alves Hisdahl, a Dutch Financial Analyst of Emerging Markets based in Florida, US, who has a profound love for Brazil. His own roots are as diverse as the country's: a Dutch mother born in Suriname, from a half Dutch, half Black mother and a Scottish-Indian (from India) father, and a Brazilian father that descends from a German-Norwegian-Portuguese-Black family from Minas Gerais.

Texas 4, Kentucky
Texas 4, Kentucky 2
May 20, 2005
ATHENS, Ga. - Play continued Friday at the 2005 NCAA Women's Tennis Championships at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens. Stanford, Clemson, Texas and Florida each stamped tickets to Saturday's semifinals.
Action begins at 11 am as top-seeded Stanford takes on 12th-seeded Clemson, followed by 11th-seeded Texas and second-seeded Florida squaring off at 3 pm.
Defending national champion Stanford recorded a 4-1 victory against Georgia in the morning match, as play was moved indoors due to inclement weather. The two teams finished doubles and played all the singles matches in the Lindsey Hopkins Indoor Courts. Stanford has now reached the semifinals at the NCAAs in 22 of the last 23 years.
Clemson advanced to face Stanford after a 4-1 win against conference foe North Carolina. Clemson claimed the doubles point and won the top three singles matches en route to their second straight appearance in the NCAA semifinals. Doubles play was completed just before the rain came, and the two teams endured a two hour and 56 minute delay before resuming play. A 56-minute rain delay occurred late in singles play as well.
The other semifinal will feature second-ranked Florida ó a 4-2 winner against Southern California. Gator Jennifer Magley clinched the victory at No. 1 singles to send Florida to the national semifinals for the 17th time in the last 19 years. Florida's Zerene Reyes won her 100th career doubles match, making her just the fifth Gator to post 100 career wins in singles and doubles.
The Longhorns won three singles matches in straight sets to advance to the NCAA semifinals for the first time since 1997 with a 4-2 win against third-seeded Kentucky. Texas used a 9-8 (7) victory at No. 2 doubles to clinch the doubles point, and Lara Maurer put the match in the books with a win at No. 5 singles.
This year's tournament marks the first time since the NCAA field expanded to 64 teams in 1999 that two double-digit seeds have reached the semifinals (No. 11 Texas and No. 12 Clemson).
1. Sarah Foster and Aibika Kalsarieva-7 (UK) vs. Katie Ruckert and Kendra Strohm-28 (UT), 7-8, susp.
2. Petra Dizdar and Mia Marovic (UT) def. Kim Coventry and Joelle Schwenk-22 (UK), 9-8(7)
3. Kelly Baritot and Courtney Zauft (UT) def. Emily Foster and Lara Maurer (UK), 8-6
Texas wins doubles point
1. Petra Dizdar-54 (UT) def. Aibika Kalsarieva-3 (UK), 6-3, 6-2
2. Kim Coventry-30 (UK) def. Mia Marovic-92 (UT), 7-6(2), 6-2
3. Sarah Foster-64 (UK) vs. Kendra Strohm-84 (UT), 7-5, 0-1, susp.
4. Katie Ruckert (UT) def. Joelle Schwenk (UK), 6-3, 6-2
5. Courtney Zauft (UT) def. Lara Maurer (UK), 6-3, 6-4
6. Danielle Petrisko (UK) def. Ristine Olson (UT), 6-2, 6-0
Texas 4, Kentucky 2
Texas Head Coach Jeff Moore
I thought the doubles point was huge; obviously it mattered in the end but in terms of momentum as well. I was concerned that we would not reset for the singles, and that maybe theyd be too emotional so we tried to calm them down after the doubles. Our girls fought hard though I was impressed with the way that our three players that won didnt let up, and secondly, and just as important, the way that Kendra Strohm stayed on the court, because the other two matches that we lost went way too quickly. It was great.
Kentucky Head Coach Mark Guilbeau
Honestly, Texas is maybe a better team than us, and I say that with a lot of respect for Texas and even more respect for us. Weve done some amazing things this year; weve won 26 matches and were ranked as high as No. 2 in the country. Our players are developing well, but I think that what the University of Kentucky womens tennis team has done this year is as good as anything that has been done in collegiate womens tennis.
When you dont play well and dont give a good effort a loss should hurt, but Im telling our kids right now to please find a way to make this not hurt, because they should be happy with the crowd and they should feel like winners because they have done an incredible job. I really thank them for all theyve done and our staff and all the people thatve supported us. Its a great NCAA tournament, and we want to thank the University of Georgia and of course congratulate Texas. They are a good team and you cant always beat them. Today they were up to the task. Im so proud of our team right now. I dont want to look ahead or behind. I want to look at right now and have them feel great, along with me, about what weve done.

Last time he traveled south of the border in "Three Amigos," Martin Short was caught in the middle of a muddle. Now as the goat in "Pure Luck" -- which might be called "Two Amigos" -- he finds himself trapped in a Mexican standoff with a glowering Danny Glover. The little Canadian comic should stay away from Mexico.
Cast as a hopeless klutz who walks into glass doors and nearly backs a Jeep over a cliff, Short again far surpasses the comic potential of his material. As shoddily translated from Francis Veber's sloppy but funny "La Chevre" ("The Goat"), "Pure Luck" chronicles the frequent falls and risings of a corporate accountant named Proctor who makes accident proneness a way of life.

COLUMBUS, Ind., (October 16, 2007) - Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) announced that it has earned a prestigious award for customer satisfaction in the J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Heavy-Duty Truck Engine/Transmission Customer Satisfaction Study.SM Cummins received the award for highest customer satisfaction with heavy-duty diesel engines in the "vocational" segment. The Cummins ISX and ISM make up almost all of the Cummins engine models in this segment.
Cummins led the ranking on three engine factors affecting customer satisfaction, leading the vocational segment on performance, cost of ownership and warranty.
The vocational segment is defined as heavy-duty trucks operating with rugged trailer or body types such as dump trucks, concrete mixers, garbage/refuse trucks, lowboy and logging trailers, cranes, utility trucks, wreckers, and other related trailers and bodies. It typically involves rugged business environments such as construction, sanitation/refuse, forestry, mining and utility services.
"The ISX and ISM Heavy-Duty diesel engines consistently deliver the performance, low cost of ownership and reliability that our growing customer base has come to expect from Cummins engines," said Ed Pence, Vice President and General Manager, Cummins Heavy-Duty Engine Business.
"I believe this terrific award recognizes that customers can depend on Cummins to do what we say we will do and deliver products that meet or exceed their expectations," added Pence.
The J.D. Power and Associates 2007 Heavy-Duty Truck Engine/Transmission Customer Satisfaction Study, now in its 11th year, measures customer satisfaction in the Class 8 heavy-truck industry from the engine and transmission perspective. The study examines engines supplied in 2005 model-year trucks.

A movement toward sustainable landscaping relying on native plants, local ecosystems services, and reduced chemical and fossil fuel inputs has emerged as a holistic, environmentally sound alternative to conventional landscaping (Short video example below).
(French Canadian (subtitles) landscaping using Permaculture principles in Sherbrooke, Quebec):
Écomestible, edible landscaping and urban permaculture from Olivier Asselin on Vimeo.
Pursuing sustainable landscaping is better for the environment, especially biodiversity. The loss of biodiversity through conventional landscaping practices has a profound negative impact on local ecosystems. Whether it be invasive plants taking root and outcompeting native plants leading to biodiversity loss, or the lack of multi-functional multi-use places, the human, chemical, and financial, and other inputs needed to maintain conventional landscaping are exorbitant and unsustainable.
(CC Image of a community-built permaculture demonstration farm on the former Central freeway ramps of San Francisco by Zoey Kroll (Own work) [CC-BY-SA-3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons)
Moving towards a more sustainable landscaping makes economic, ecological, and socially just sense. If a larger percentage of the money spent by homeowners, businesses, universities, and governments on conventional landscaping was, for instance, spent on perennial edible crops (fruiting trees, nuts, berries, etc.), as well as habitat for insects (flowers, meadows, prairies, etc.), there could be massive relief for basic human needs, biodiversity loss, human cognition of other sustainability issues, biotic resilience, sense of place, social justice, and much more.
Sustainable landscaping can grow native plants, provide habitat for insects and animals, as well as provide aesthetics, food, fiber, and medicine to benefit people. There are many farming, gardening, and landscaping design methods and systems that exist within the holistic or sustainable framework. Each methodology and concept offers insight into the complex issues and multitudes of benefits that can be reaped by moving towards and well thought out and designed landscaping plan. Some of the systems are:
Permaculture, natural landscaping, restoration agriculture, biodynamics, agroecological restoration, biomimicry, wildlife gardening, xeriscaping, and more.

Jhene Aiko wrote: "I am not this image/I am not my name/I am not my age/I am not my ethnicity/I am not where I was born and raised/I am not my mistakes and misfortunes/I am not what I have gained and have lost/I am." She described herself on Twitter as "Nami's Mommy, Writer, Creator, Healer, Lover, Light Worker, Aspiring Astronomer, Pokémon Master, Cat Collector, Slauson Girl."
Jhene Aikoe signed to Epic/TUG when she was only 12 and released a variety of remixes and toured with B2K on the Scream 3 tour. She asked to be released from her contracts when she was 16 in order to finish high school. She said, "I escaped the made-up world of Hollywood to experience the natural beauty of the real world." She added later, "I was in high school and there was a new label boss who wasn't well-versed in who I was or my music. I was just like 'I want to get released.'"
As to her Sailing Souls mix tape, she said, "That was the height of me going through all of this stuff. I'd just had my daughter and I was working at a vegan café and I wanted to do this mix tape…I just needed to release all my frustration and my heartache and pain."
As for her niche in the business, she said, "I don't really categorize myself as one thing or another…I know that my fan-base is there for me…they know that I'm always changing and evolving."
Jhene Aiko is into Buddhism. "It's sorta free. It's not very preachy." She added, "I just try not to watch myself on TV. I don't even like to look at pictures. I don't like to get caught up with who I am, and I'm surrounded by family…everyone keeps each other down to earth."
As for dating, she said, "I am loyal in relationships. If I am your girlfriend, that's it. I am practicing to be your wife."
She has a rap alter ego called "J-Henny." "I've always free-styled for fun…for me, it's joking a little bit, but I do feel like I have so many different personalities, why not give them a name…also I always sip on a little bit of something before I perform and it's usually Hennessy so that's who's on stage."
As for balancing motherhood and her career, Jhene Aiko just tries to "keep the balance. It's hard, but I have to just take it one day at a time." She is single and resides in Los Angeles.

well I am facing problems with facebook security.
Last year I was hacked and they took my whole profile and in the end after sending my id to facebook they gave me back the profile.
Last 15 days somehow while I was playing zynga games via facebook, chips were vanishing from my account in front of my eyes in a flash. I suspected virus infection so I started scanning pc with avast first and viper afterwards. They found trojan WIN 32 REVETON-BR (TRJ) and JAVA CVE-2012-0507-KN(EXPLR) and win 32 generic BT. Also scanned with Emsisoft and Malwarebytes. After several deep scannings I was found clean, so I entered facebook, changed passwords, and followed all security steps for facebook and zynga games but it happened again (the loss of my chips). Furthermore since I connected my facebook account with my mobile phone, i receive sms with access codes either when I am already in my account and when I am not connected, or try to connect!
To mention that they stole my chips 3 times in 10 days - all these times I reported the loss to zynga and after following their security steps they were giving me back the chips because I was hacked - But no matter what I do the hacker stealls the cheaps again and again...
Please hepl me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Camelia Dust
Posted on March 25th 2010 under Uncategorized
The camelias in town look better than I've seen them in years: deep green healthy leaves, abundant longer lasting flowers and a carpet of long-lasting faerie dust-like mulch left behind. Earlier in the season the signs of disease that had been on them for the last couple of seasons were prevalent but they seem to have enjoyed the extended cooler temperatures and revived enough to put on a great show and keep it going onto overtime. Who'd've thunk it?

Most religious founders combine these dimensions in their love and thought. They emphasize that our relationship to the divine includes both thinking and acting correctly and experiencing God directly.
This was certainly true of Muhammad, upon him be peace. Sufis base their devotional expression and spiritual direction on the example of the Prophet. Muhammad was the original Sufi! They immediately point to his prayer life; his direct encounter with Allah on Mount Noor; his spiritual pilgrimage in his late thirties, which led to his "Night of Power", and finally to his "Night Journey," a classical mystical experience which took him to heaven to talk with previous prophets and into the presence of Allah Himself. The hadith is replete with spiritual wisdom and meditational guides which were as much a part of Muhammad's legacy to his followers as his political and ethical guidance.
Annemarie Schimmel, in her comprehensive book on Sufism, Mystical Dimensions of Islam, relates how surprised westerners are to discover the mystical qualities in Muhammad. She states that the western image of Islam "emerged during hundreds of years of hatred and enmity in the Christian world." From this tradition has come a picture of Muhammad as, at worst, a sword-wielding religious zealot and, at best, a shrewd and sensuous politician. Yet from the beginning Sufis knew him to be a deeply pious and spiritually earnest man, a man who not only desired to bring Allah's salaam to earth, but also experience direct access to Allah.
Sufis provide the "inner dimension" of Islam, the personal esoteric, inward path (tariqa) as compared with exoteric, public, outward Shariah. The former, "God and the person," is the inner essence; the later, "God and society," is the exterior clothing. The former if the "fire"; the later is the "fireplace." Obviously both are needed for a valuable religious tradition. One without the other would be spiritually self-destructive.
Sufism is not, as often stated by westerners, a sect of Islam. It is, rather, a dimension found in and compatible with all manifestations of Islam, whether Sunni or Shiite, no matter what the Muslims are, intelligentsia or peasant, urban or rural. . . .
In summary, faithful Muslims who are not Sufis obey God and believe that God is merciful and will reward them according to their righteous deeds. The goal is to enjoy life in this world and prepare for the world to come. They diligently perform the five pillars and this aids them in "remembering Allah." However, their self-renunciation and abstinence do not go beyond their expected duties and obligations.
Sufis, on the other hand, passionately yearn for God. Their remembrance is total, a struggle (jihad) to be united with Divine Love. The Sufi's goal is not to perform certain rituals and hope thereby to become closer to God; the goal is to be united to God without any mediation whatsoever. A Sufi does not neglect action but sees action as a completion. There is a sense in which Sufis see themselves as "fulfilled Muslims."
Ira G. Zepp Jr., A Muslim Primer, University of Arkansas Press, 2000, p. 115-20

john pomp
last week i hopped a subway up to williamsburg to speak with one of the city's most celebrated glass artists, john pomp. i've been a fan of john's work for some time now- the way he works with color and form always brings to mind a certain sensuality that is often missing from glass these days. john has devoted his time not just to creating beautiful glass, but to creating a place where people can explore and produce their own glass. behind the pomp storefront is 160 glass, a studio that is open to anyone in the area that would like to take classes and learn more about the art of glass blowing. and this february, john is offering a special valentine's day glass blowing class where couples can come and do something different together. so, to hear more about 160 glass' classes and hear john's podcast simply click "play" below. you can hear all that john has to say about glass, the tempermental nature of contemporary design and of course, some words of wisdom (not to be missed) for design students and those looking to start their own design-based companies. enjoy!

Zircon Adaptive Software Delivers 700 Times Speed-Up and a Near-Linear Scalability of Two Financial Applications on SGI Altix UV 1000
WAYNE, NJ--(Marketwire - December 20, 2010) - Zircon Computing today announced the results of two recently completed benchmarks in which Zircon collaborated with SGI on a key initiative to optimize the performance of two applications on the SGI® Altix® UV 1000 platform comprising 512 cores, 1,024 threads, and 4 terabytes (TB) of memory.
"As part of Zircon's latest software release version 3.3, Zircon delivered enhanced support for task and data parallelism, thereby reducing the programming effort needed to parallelize application business logic," said Alexander Mintz, CEO of Zircon Computing, LLC. He added, "We also transformed the SGI platform into a powerful environment for delivering high performance elastic data analytics applications that can be distributed easily and with more flexibility on the multi-core Altix UV 1000 system."
To scale up a massive calibration exercise of a path-dependent financial trading strategy that does not yield itself to simple parallelization, the trading strategy aspect of the application was split into a set of dependent sub-tasks and run through a pipeline pattern. The SGI Altix UV 1000 platform fits uniquely into this domain of historical evaluations by providing access to a large pool of shared memory resources and offering 512 cores, 1,024 threads all in one box, to process these subtasks. The net result is the ability of Zircon Adaptive software to execute thousands of strategies concurrently on the available pool of threads resulting in a 712 times speedup on SGI Altix UV 1000. The other financial benchmark conducted on an SGI Altix UV 1000 system was an extensive and complex Heston model option pricing calibration with an optimization routine implemented via the NAG minimization function. This classical case of task parallelism allowed massive concurrency of thousands of individual calibrations producing near-linear scalability and showing more than 600 times speedup on a hyper-threaded SGI Altix UV 1000 platform.
"These benchmark results demonstrate how the Zircon software can accelerate complex data analytics applications in a near-linear scalable manner," said Christian Tanasescu, vice president of software engineering at SGI. "Acceleration benefits for data analytics applications using Zircon software are enabled by the NUMA architecture of SGI Altix UV 1000, with up to 2,048 processor cores and 16TB of memory running a single image of the operating system, resulting in an extreme scale-up capability for numerous data-intensive applications."
"Zircon's achievement of these record-breaking results stands to offer significant benefit to financial services companies for whom milliseconds matter," said Rajeeb Hazra, General Manager of High Performance Computing at Intel. "By combining the power of Intel® Xeon® processors 7500 series with the Altix UV 1000, Intel and SGI can support Zircon in continuing to optimize applications with high degrees of task and data parallelism."
Benchmark Information
The SGI Altix UV 1000 system used for this benchmark was powered by 64 Intel® Xeon® 7560 processors, 4 TB of memory and running SLES 11 SP1. The Heston calibration application ran 34,400 financial models in 3 minutes, which is over 500 times faster than a serial run taking 1,464 minutes on a 512-core SGI Altix UV 1000 system, showing a near-linear scalability. With hyperthreading, the improvement was more than 40% higher, yielding over 666 times faster calibration time with 1,024 threads. Similarly, the trading strategies analysis application showed a 479 times speedup on a 512-core SGI Altix UV 1000 system compared to a serial run and a 712 times speedup using all 1,024 threads.

September 10, 2012 – SAP announced its third new enterprise performance management release in 18 months on Monday, a trio of cloud-based applications that one analyst says deliver the potential for broad, mobile data access.
SAP Enterprise Performance Management OnDemand features apps for detailing and resolving department expenses, real-time profit and loss analysis, and capital investment tracking and planning. The apps, first launched on iOS with more device versions to come, are complementary to version 10.0 of SAP's EPM portfolio and feature an add-in for Microsoft Office. EPM OnDemand was constructed in the cloud with SAP's highly touted HANA in-memory engine, and includes built-in mobile device management support for enterprise BYOD policies.
Dave Williams, EPM solution marketing lead at SAP, says these first releases provide the data model for "delivering the foundation of subsequent applications" involving performance management in the next few months. In May 2011, SAP retooled the look and functions of its EPM solutions in version 10.0 in an effort to spread use beyond the finance department, and these apps continue that development in the performance management space, Williams says.
Joshua Greenbaum, principal at Enterprise Applications Consulting, says the mobile capabilities with the apps answer the growing requirements by enterprise end users.
"The new apps extend the usability and accessibility of performance management apps to a broader audience, one that needs rapid, real-time access to a small but important part of the overall performance management function," he says. "The combination allows SAP to extend the value of key back office applications like [business planning and consolidation] app to users who don't necessarily need the full functionality of what BPC can offer."

For drivers who pull boats, trailers and heavy equipment around, figuring out if a truck can handle the added mass is important. Designing a shopping tool that helped customers discover the strength of specific vehicles came as a really interesting but gratifying challenge to my team and me. Through prototyping, documenting and testing, we delivered a fully responsive, functional, fantastic-looking addition to ramtrucks.com

The speed at which sound travels is also the name of an Instagram account where I post some of my travel shots along with a minute-long sound bite. I'm hoping to use this experiment as a chance to see if the experience and pace of Instagram can be augmented, by designing content that takes a little longer to digest than usual (kind of like "slow TV"). Take the time to look at still images longer, maybe listen to music you normally wouldn't.

Working with my friend Oleg, we ironed out the look and feel of TGM's branding (including logo lock-ups, typography, photo/illustration/pattern/colour usage, interior design suggestions, construction hoarding and print collateral) in time for their Singapore relaunch and imminent expansion across Asia.
I helped concept, shoot, retouch and animate social content for Canada's Vodka: Iceberg Vodka—made from real icebergs in Newfoundland. We experimented with ways to make the brand look more premium, and we looked for opportunities to celebrate being Canadian.

Creating social content for Nestlé's many brands involved sketching out and pitching concepts, making shot and prop lists, shooting them, retouching the images, and animating short videos. Other tasks included: waiting for the sun to set for the perfect shadow, removing every hair from a copywriter's arm and making boardrooms look like kitchens.
Format (fka 4ormat) is a portfolio-building tool geared towards creative professionals. The portfolio you're looking at right now was actually built using Format! Needless to say, I love the product.

Keep it lite. That was the motto. I knew that if what I was designing wasn't even a little bit fun, I knew it had veered off-brand. I helped create OOH as well as print and digital ads for Native. I also helped create assets for the website, panels for tradeshow booths, tech drawings for the factories, laid out presentations for presentations and concepted some lite-hearted marketing ideas.

My DIY At-Home Manicure Technique That Totally Looks Like I Went to the Salon
Salon quality nails without the salon quality small talk!
Even though they're super cool and I'll forever have a place for them in my heart, galaxy nails have reached the point where they're overdone. Yeah, I said it.
Still, my fondness for the expansive universe remains forever wanting. I may or may not have parts of Sagan's Pale Blue Dot memorized, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't spend a decent chunk of my time looking at images of space or staring up into the sky on any given clear night. There's a sort of calmness evoked from feeling so small and meaningless.
On a camping trip about two years ago--smack dab in the middle of nowhere--I was able to make out the faint outline of the Milky Way with my bare eyes. I couldn't help but reach out and grab the dirt beside me as if I had to hold on, lest I float away into the abyss. And no, I wasn't on drugs. (However, my husband does have a story about how he was doing the same, years ago, on LSD, and he and his friend were moving the stars together with only their eyes. The imagery of that has always stuck with me.)
Anyway, like any creative person, I allow the things I'm impressed by to inspire me. In this specific case, it's my nails that show the end results. And since galaxy nails are "so last year," I decide to make my next space-related mani all about constellations.
What you'll need: some black nail polish, five brightly colored polishes that will show up against black, a nice metallic polish and a holographic glitter top coat. For application, you'll want a nail art brush and a dotting tool. You can use the tip of a pen or pencil in place of a dotting tool.
OK, so let's be honest. You could probably arbitrarily place dots all over your fingernails and make up some constellation name and nobody would know the difference, but we're gonna go about this the legit way and use real constellations for our inspiration. Above, I've drawn out a mix of complex and easy designs you can use. You can also search the web for constellations of your sign, etc.
First thing's first: paint your nails black. My favorite black nail polish ever is Rimmel London's Lasting Finish Pro in Black Satin because it has a fat brush for easy application and it's not streaky or thin. One coat usually suffices.
It's hard to find a silver metallic polish that isn't too sheer, but imma let you in on my secret weapon: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color in Silver Sweep.
Using your silver metallic polish and a dotting tool, apply the "stars" on your nails. I suggest practicing on a piece of paper once or twice.
You don't have to, but I decided to be all fancy-schmancy and do an accent nail with some wee gemstones. I'm using some from the KISS Disney Villains Nail Art Kit in Maleficent. (These sets are amazing, by the way. They come with lots of glitter, stickers, gems, nail beads, nail tape, a nail brush and a mini top coat).
You can use a nail brush dipped in polish. Alternatively, try a nail art pen. I prefer the former, but you do what works best for you.
I give you creative freedom here to use whatever combination of colors you prefer. You could go with all one color, alternate two or use a different polish on each nail as I did. The colors I used are: Floss Gloss "Wavepool," Polish & Co. "Any Place Any Time," Zoya "Arizona," Sinful Colors "Neon Fusion" and Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear "Mellow Yellow." You'll want to use a very fine nail art brush for this.
Now, you can stop after you've finished connecting your stars, but I personally think the look isn't complete without some holographic glitter top coat action. It gives your nails a more three dimension vibe and looks more universe-inspired.
I used the aptly named "Northern Lights" hologram top coat by INM. If you don't own this polish yet, I cry for your poor, poor soul. Buy it!
And here's the finished result:
These really didn't take too long to do and the end result is super-impressive.
I want to know what you think about them and if you plan to try them!
