Franklin College purchased rack space within the central Boyd Data Center Hosting to meet increasing demand for services that comply with physical security requirements for relevant laws and granting agencies. The center was renovated in 2006 to include a 4,300 square foot addition (for a total of 16,000 sq ft) and is supported by an enterprise class generator, remote camera monitoring, secure card access, 2 commercial UPS units, and a gas fire-suppression system. This provides a stable, cost-effective location for personnel to host their physical server equipment. In addition to the physical hosting, Franklin OIT provides limited support for installation, network, and support for a minimal cost to clients.
Benefits for Hosting in Boyd Data Center
- Peace of mind for securing Sensitive and Critical Data
- Reduction in downtime due to Generator Backup, UPS and extra Air Handlers
- Fire Suppression/Physical Security Coverage
- Freeing up space in your facilities
- Freeing up monitoring staff for other functions
- Flexibility and cost efficiency for System Administration support through Franklin OIT or EITS
Franklin College faculty and staff can request support for physical server hosting by contacting the Franklin OIT Helpdesk.
Boyd Hosting Fees are covered by the College for Franklin College units and personnel as a proactive means to provide a stable, secure location for mission-critical systems. Below is a breakdown for tiers of cost-recovery support.
Essential Hardware Install and Configure (required) - $120
Franklin OIT will physically rack the server in the Boyd Datacenter and setup and configure the hardware for remote use.
Basic Hardware Install and Configure - $240
Franklin OIT will perform all aspects of the required Essential Hardware Install and Configure, in addition to setting up the operating system based upon client requirements.
Advanced Hardware Install, Configure, and Maintenance - $240 + $720/year
Franklin OIT will perform all aspects of the required Basic Hardware Install and Configure, in addition to performing regular routine updates, system maintenance, and 24x7x365 service and performance monitoring.
Custom Hardware Install and Configure - $60/hour
On a per-project basis, Franklin OIT will perform OS or software installs, system maintenance, or hardware maintenance at the required work at the established service rate.
You can find more information on the UGA Boyd Data Center hosting, facilities, and benefits by visiting http://eits.uga.edu/servers_and_storage/boyd_data_center/hosting.
Supported operating systems include RedHat Enterprise Linux 6+ and Windows Server 2008+.
Please note the below requirements for use of the Boyd Data Center Hosting:
- All servers must contain adequate rack-mount support hardware such as rails and cable management arms. Rails should support a standard 4-post rack design with square mounting holes. Franklin OIT will NOT provide shelves or other rack mounting hardware. We recommend using Dell Rapid Rails or other fast/tool-less rack mounting rails for easier installation and management.
- All servers must have the ability for complete 'lights out' hardware remote management. Hardware-level remote management generally mitigates the need to have physical access to a piece of hardware for the purposes of OS install or other direct hardware management and power state changes. Franklin OIT recommends Dell iDRAC Enterprise options for PowerEdge servers or HP iLO remote management hardware.
- Systems installed in the Franklin OIT racks in Boyd are only physically accessible by appointment (or during emergencies). Personnel will be escorted or otherwise supervised by an SMT member during visits. An hourly service fee may be assessed on a case-by-case basis and will be discussed with the client per instance.
- Systems should be enterprise-class hardware and have built-in redundancy. Failover or redundant power supplies, arrays of disks (RAID) using hardware RAID, and at least dual network cards are strongly recommended.
Clients are responsible for the following:
- Initiating requests for new service, change on existing service, or support for services via the Franklin OIT Help Desk.
- Adherence to the hosting requirements found in Additional Information for Service section.
- Purchase of any required items; including but not limited to hardware, software, support services, warranty, cabling, licensing, or fees.
- Signing and returning any associated forms for this service; including Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Proposal of Work (POW), Statement of Work (SOW).
- Notifying Franklin OIT if a server is being decommissioned or the point of contact changes.
- Development of data management plans, disaster recovery plans, and business continuity plans as applicable. This includes establishing and covering the costs of a backup solution.
Franklin OIT is responsible for the following:
- Responding to initial client request for information, use of, or support for this service.
- Meeting with the client to discuss needs and provide a detailed list of recommendations.
- Providing a Proposal of Work to the client to detail what work Franklin OIT will perform.
- Providing a Statement of Work to the client to detail what work Franklin OIT has performed.
- If required, provide a Memorandum of Understanding to detail work that falls outside of standard service levels.
- Provide adequate notice to clients of any proposed rate changes.
- Inform clients of any failures or issues noted in logs or monitoring tools, along with proposed solutions.

In a 2014 report, AAMD and the National Center for Arts Research (NCAR) found that a gender gap existed in art museum directorships. We found that women held less than half of directorships, that the average female director's salary lagged behind that of the average male director, and that these phenomena were most persistent in the largest museums. Three years later, despite press attention and field-wide dialogue on the topic, the gender gap persists, although trends showing incremental gains in some areas of pay and employment representation deserve recognition.

That's no way to treat a man in lady's lingerie. Howard Stern show fixture "Elegant" Elliot Offen has filed a $21 million suit against the Holiday Inn Miami Beach Oceanfront Hotel, claiming he was abused for walking around in the lobby "dressed in the sexiest girl's black nylon G-string lingerie." Offen, who often jogs on Big Apple streets in similar attire, claims in Manhattan Supreme Court that a bellboy hurled anti-gay slurs at him and had him arrested. That sent Offen, who claims he has a "30-year psychiatric history," over the edge. He's "regularly awakening in the middle of the night, drenched, soaking wet and screaming . . . 'don't come any closer and get away from me.' " A hotel rep didn't call us back.

text: Gisborne business leaders are collaborating with Air New Zealand representatives on a push to boost tourism and reduce air fares for flights connecting Gisborne with the nation's capital. Air NZ flies from Gisborne Airport to both Wellington and Auckland but the use of smaller 19-seat aircraft on the Wellington route rather than the 50-seat Q300 aircraft used on the Auckland route, means it has been more expensive to travel between Gisborne and Wellington. It costs up to $928 (plus tax) to fly same-day return between Wellington and Gisborne at the top fare, compared to $738 (plus tax) between Gisborne and Auckland. However, Gisborne Chamber of Commerce is hoping to change that. Chamber president Trevor Helson said Air NZ had recently joined the chamber, with a desire to be more engaged with regional areas. Mr Helson said membership would allow Air NZ to work with the community to provide the best services they can. "Air NZ sees a relationship with the chamber as a good way to facilitate this. "It is recognised by Air New Zealand that the cost and frequency of flights to Wellington are not optimum and more work needs to be done.. "The Gisborne chamber had already identified this as a priority and will work closely with them to make Gisborne more accessible by air, especially from Wellington. The chamber welcomes the more inclusive approach now taken and, along with Eastland Community Trust, will push hard to get air fares that make sense and are clearly not artificially high just because there is no competition. "This situation has gone on for far too long and the region has suffered because of it. The experiences with introducing the Q300s to Auckland has shown that there is potential to grow the service if sensible prices are available. There is no reason why the same cannot happen to Wellington." Over the past full financial year 134,450 passengers travelled through Gisborne Airport, which saw 7723 aircraft landings from Auckland and Wellington. Air New Zealand regional affairs manager Ian Collier said the company was committed to providing air services to and from Gisborne. Mr Collier said it was committed to building strong relationships with local stakeholders such as Tourism Eastland and Gisborne Chamber of Commerce and its members, to further drive demand for Gisborne services and promote inbound tourism. "We view our membership of the chamber as an important link between our business and local business, and are committed to working closely with the chamber for collective benefit. The smaller aircraft in our fleet that serve Gisborne cost more per seat to operate than the larger aircraft in our fleet. This is reflected in airfare pricing." Air NZ was working to upgrade services to larger aircraft on routes where demand was able to support the extra seat capacity — provided this sat within the limitations of overall fleet management.

Hi guys.
I have some minor problems with my recently bought Xerox Phaser 6000.
Every time i try to print something (like a few words on a plain A4) a new window appear that request a button (placed on the front of the printer) to be pushed. If i do so a blank paper comes out at the first try. The second time the real printed stuff comes out.
I've been looking around the web and the software but cant find anything. So how do i turn this off? I'm maybe lazy, but to press a button every time drives me crazy
Hi jebediah,
Thank you for using the Support Forum. Please contact your local area support about the situation you are seeing. They should be able to help you make the change to the settings you may need to stop this extra page.
Oh sorry. didn't notice i got an reply.
So this is not a support forum or what? And where can i find my local area suppor?
Yes this is a support forum but there had been no reply to your post so I replied. I have not seen this issue and do not have a machine to test with. Let's see if someone else will try to help with your issue.
Ok i see :)
Anyways. Here's an screenshot from that window that's appear every time i want to print something.
For those who cant speak Swedish, it says
-Instructions for manual duplexing
-Remove prints and insert them into the magazine again face down
-Press [start] to continue printing
So a long story short. I have to get up from my lazy ass and press that stupid button every time, every page.

Teaching Japan: What are the highs and lows of teaching in Japan?
I`ve been teaching Japan English now for over 20 years. I`ve taught at various schools including ECC, the YMCA, St. Mary College in Nagoya, Tokai University, Keio SFC, and my own school -- Kevin`s English Schools.
After about 1 and a 1/2 years here I felt I knew enough to open my own school and I opened Kevin`s in 1991.
It was a tough struggle, and certainly one of the highs and lows of teaching in Japan.
I enjoy teaching. I enjoy meeting new people and talking with people and I enjoy the exchange of ideas that teaching involves. Not only between the teacher and students, but between colleagues as well. My colleagues at Tokai are great!
I enjoy the act of teaching. I enjoy teaching people of all ages. I also learn so much, maybe more than they do!
Some of the lows of teaching
When students quit studying at your English school, especially if you felt they were just about to take off.
Or if you teach at a junior high school or a university, it is difficult to get through to some of the students.
Teaching Japan English can cause burnout. It is always a problem for teachers I think. I put so much of myself into my teaching that I have to remember to pace myself. It isn`t a sprint, it is a marathon.
Some of the office politics you have to put with, and I include in that, some of the rudeness of colleagues or students here and there. For the most part though, people are kind and caring, and it seems to vary from institution to institution. Some placesare more relaxed and warmer places to work at than others.
Hearing people put down teachers or the job of being a teacher.
I feel that good teachers are born not made--really like good athletes. If you have it, that`s great. You can always improve on it.
I feel we are lucky to be teachers. It is such a great job no matter where you teach. And to those who complain about it or think it is not a worthy endeavor, I suggest if you don`t like it, then it is obviously time to move on. Either to an institution that suits you more, or into another profession.
There are many highs and that is why I like teaching:
When you finally get through to a difficult student or find common ground with them--this often happens in some of the junior high, or university classes I teach. It is always a high when this happens.
At the end of a term and the students have obviously enjoyed and gotten something out of the class. When students improve is always nice to see. Seeing the children or even the adults progress in their English is rewarding.
Generally I feel that teachers make a difference. I really don`t feel I am just an English teacher, I feel I am an "internationalizer" in my own small way. We as teachers, are opening up Japan to the world. It just happens to be through an English class.
Some of the highs and lows of living in Japan
Some of the highs, meeting my Japanese wife. Having three great kids!
Living here is always interesting. It is quite different from Canada. Then again I often find things very similar too.
Japan teaches me many things about myself, about Canada and the way Canadians think, and of course about Japan as a country itself.
Meeting people from all over the world, not only Japanese but people from many countries.
In general life is pretty good and pretty easy for me here.
Some of the lows:
Experiencing racism occasionally. Getting the absolute worst table in the izakaya (Japanese bar), or hearing some kind of racist comment. These incidences are relatively rare however.
If you are interested in teaching English in Japan, here is my advice:
Learn all that you can about teaching. Pay attention to which teachers you like. We have all had many great teachers over the years, why were they great? What was it about them that you liked? Then try to emulate that yourself when you teach.
Learn all that you can about the country that you will teach in if you plan on teaching abroad. Know before you go, in other words.
How to be a more successful teacher of English?
Read! Attend lectures! Talk with colleagues and the star teachers of any institutuion you are associated with.
Study! -either on your own or at a university.
Never stop learning you can always improve!

Art director Robert F. Boyle dies at 100
Oscar nominee's credits include 'North by Northwest'Robert F. Boyle, a four-time Academy Award nominee for art direction and a recipient of an honorary Oscar for his work on "North by Northwest," "Fiddler on the Roof" and nearly 90 other films, died Aug. 1 of natural causes at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 100.
In 1997, Boyle was given a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Art Directors Guild and four years later was honored with the Hollywood Production Designer of the Year Award by the Hollywood Film Festival. Recently, he was given a tribute by the American Cinematheque and the ADG with a screening at the Egyptian Theatre of two of his designed films, "The Wolf Man" (1941) and "Gaily, Gaily" (1969).
Boyle received Oscar noms his work on "Gaily, Gaily," "Fiddler (1971), "North by Northwest" (1959) and "The Shootist" (1976).
Among his other major motion picture credits are "The Birds" (1963), "Winter Kills" (1979), "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" (1982), "Private Benjamin" (1980), "Portnoy's Complaint" (1972), "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968), "In Cold Blood" (1967), "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" (1967), "The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming" (1966) and the original "Cape Fear" (1962). He received his honorary Oscar in 2008.
Boyle worked on numerous films for Alfred Hitchcock and Norman Jewison as well as for such other famed directors as Tom Mankiewicz, Penny Marshall, Joe Dante, Sylvester Stallone, Hal Ashby, Arthur Hiller and Don Siegel.
Until he was hospitalized last week, he was a distinguished lecturer at the American Film Institute Conservatory in Los Angeles, where he was considered the "guiding light" of the institute's production design department.
Boyle is the subject of Daniel Raim's Oscar-nominated documentary "The Man on Lincoln's Nose" (2000), which refers to Hitchcock's "North by Northwest." He also is a prominent subject in Raim's newest documentary about production designers, "Something's Gonna Live," which includes participation by three other deceased production designers, Henry Bumstead, Albert Nozaki and Harold Michelson.
In 1973, he was nominated for an Emmy for "The Red Pony."
Boyle was born Oct. 10, 1909, in Los Angeles and was a graduate in 1933 of the School of Architecture of the University of Southern California. He began his art direction career that year at Paramount before moving to Universal. In 1941, Hitchcock chose him to be the art director on "Saboteur."
Boyle served as a member of the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for nine years and was a two-term ADG president.
Boyle is survived by two daughters, Emily Boyle-Biddle of Hollywood and Susan Licon of Toledo, Ore., and three grandchildren. His wife, Bess Taffel Boyle, died in 1999.
Funeral services are pending.

Lake Drummond is a 12.3 mile lightly trafficked out and back trail located near Suffolk, Virginia that features a river and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

It was OK for a bike ride. It is gravel the entire way. Perhaps a paved or "natural" trail would've been better.
This is a very simple and plain off road experience with no challenge. It does provide several scenic areas to hike with trails that are well maintained and that provide excellent views of the Dismal Swamp and eventually Lake Drummond.
Not much going on. Nice and flat, would have been a decent bike ride, but a little boring as a hike. Lake Drummond itself was nice though.
Most of it was boring. The lake was nice and the last mile before the lake with all the swamp colors was okay but I'd rather be hiking.
A nice ride to the lake. The last almost two miles changes from wooded swamp to open swamp and has some beautiful colors. Also, you pass by a couple boardwalk trails.

The microprocessor can be considered one of the greatest inventions of the twentieth century, placing an entire room of computer equipment with a single chip. The fundamental operations of a microprocessor are basic, yet it has allowed so much to be accomplished. As transistors, the building blocks of microprocessors, approach their minimum size limits, creative ways to continue increasing computing power have emerged. These include technologies such as pipelining and the multi-core paradigm. The microprocessor has proven to be a versatile invention, branching out into numerous fields outside the personal computer.
Microprocessors have revolutionized the world, especially in the area of electronics. A myriad of modern items ranging from cell phones to digital watches, elevators to washing machines contain microprocessors. It is incredible that, just a few decades ago, the microprocessor did not even exist, and yet today it can be found almost anywhere.
What is a "Microprocessor"?
A microprocessor is essentially an entire basic computer fitted on a single chip [1]. Sure, computers purchased today usually come with peripherals like monitors, hard drives, and DVD drives, but the most important component of the system is the microprocessor. You most likely have heard of companies such as Intel or AMD, and probably even have some version of one of their microprocessors inside your desktop or laptop, but what is this device? The microprocessor's job is essentially to do all the calculations and computations inside that system. At a fundamental level, computers accomplish these tasks by controlling the flow of electric current through a circuit.
From Tubes to Transistors
Basic computers that could do the same thing as the microprocessor have been around for a long time, but it wasn't until the invention of the transistor that microprocessors could be made. A transistor is essentially a switching device that either allows, or does not allow electric current to flow, and many transistors working together make up the processor [2]. Before transistors, computers were gigantic machines taking up entire rooms. Instead of using transistors as switching devices, they used large and inefficient "vacuum tubes," [2]. The invention of the microprocessor was so amazing because it allowed for one chip to replace entire rooms full of computers (Fig. 1).
The first microprocessor was the Intel 4004 created in 1971 and was made primarily for use in calculators [3]. By today's standards, this microprocessor would widely be considered inadequate, but at the time it was state-of-the-art. The 4-bit processor was made up of 2,300 transistors, and had a clock speed of 108 kHz [4]. Keep in mind that modern processors are 64 bit, are made up of billions of transistors, and have clock speeds thousands of times higher.
Matt Gibbs/Wikipedia
Where are Microprocessors Used?
First there's the simple answer of inside your computer. You've probably heard of the Intel "Pentium" series, as most consumer computers utilize some version of Intel microprocessors. Besides the obvious, microprocessors are used in many other places. In fact, it is estimated that 98% of microprocessors are not used in personal computers!
The vast majority of microprocessors can be found in embedded systems, which are a "combination of computer hardware and software, and perhaps additional mechanical or other parts, designed to perform a dedicated function" and they are found practically everywhere [5]. Cell phones, mp3 players, video game consoles, washing machines, microwaves, cars, televisions, and others all contain some type of embedded system with a microprocessor inside. The impact of the invention of the microprocessor on the world can be seen in the fact that practically every modern electronic device is an example of an embedded system [5].
How Microprocessors Work
Most modern microprocessors are created using the "von Neumann Architecture" which means that they only perform three tasks - fetch, decode, and execute instructions [3]. "Fetch" means the computer can get an instruction stored in binary form from some type of memory such as Random Access Memory (RAM), where a list of instructions and data are stored.
The computer then "decodes" these instructions, determining what the instruction is asking it to do by examining the order and sequence of a series of 0's and 1's, a purely binary form of data. From this representation, the binary values need to be decoded so as to carry out the proper function. Instructions usually tend to have something called an "opcode" in binary that tells the processor what type of instruction it is, along with other necessary parameters [2].
When the microprocessor knows what needs to be done from decoding the binary instruction, it computes or "executes" the instruction in the Arithmetic Logic Unit or ALU. As its name implies, the ALU is responsible for two types of operation - arithmetic and logic. Everything that computers are now capable of doing, from computing the millionth digit of Pi to rendering the intense graphics of modern video games, derives from these basic building blocks [6]. However, there is one more fundamental component of the processor that is vital to its operation, and that is what is known as the "clock."
The clock produces a regular "clock signal" that the processor executes at every clock cycle. The purpose of the clock is "to organize the movement of information inside the computer so that each component has time to work, and is measured in Hertz, or cycles per second" [7]. It basically synchronizes processor operations; without the clock, data flow within the processor would be a mess. Within a processor, certain operations compute faster than others. The clock makes sure that each computation has enough time to finish before moving on to the next in order to keep the data flow synchronous. As clock speeds, among other things, determine how fast the processor can execute instructions, they can often be an adequate indicator of overall speed. Microprocessors that have faster clocks can often do more computations per second than those with slower clocks; modern processors run so fast that their speeds are measured in Gigahertz, or billions of cycles per second.
Basic Parts of a Microprocessor
The microprocessor contains two fundamental parts, the "Control Unit" and the "Arithmetic Logic Unit" [6].
The Control Unit directs data flow in the computer. It contains the decoder that interprets instructions, telling the processor what it needs to do (Fig. 2). Also within the Control Unit are registers: high-speed, temporary storage spaces for holding instructions and data that the processor already fetched. There are also other specialized registers such as the "Program Counter" which is used to hold the address in memory of the next instruction to be performed [6].
The Arithmetic Logic Unit, or ALU, performs the computations necessary for the computer to function. There are two main types of computations that it is capable of doing - arithmetic and logic. The arithmetic portion can do various calculations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Similarly, the logic portion does comparisons such as equal or not equal [6].
For speed optimization purposes, most microprocessors also include what is called "cache memory." Recall that the processor needs to fetch data from main memory before it can decode and execute the instructions. The problem with setup is that getting data from main memory is relatively slow because the memory is physically farther from the processor. Main memory is also much larger than the microprocessor and is made of slower parts, making it more tedious to search through [7]. This is where cache memory comes in. Cache memory is similar to RAM, but it is faster, smaller, and a part of the microprocessor. The main purpose of cache memory is speed. Data in the cache memory can be accessed faster than data in RAM because cache memory is physically closer to the processor core. The memory is also smaller, and is made of more advanced and expensive material [7]. So, by putting data that is accessed frequently in cache memory, data access time will decrease, increasing overall performance.
Modern Microprocessor Architecture
Modern processors have definitely come a long way. They are exponentially faster, smaller, and more efficient than their predecessors. Today's processors have clocks speeds in the order of billions of cycles per second and can fit millions of transistors on a single chip. In contrast, not long ago, clock speeds were only in the thousands of cycles per second, and only a couple thousand transistors could fit onto a chip.
A few years can make a big difference in the world of processors, and Moore's law accurately depicts this. About 40 years ago Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, stated that the transistor density on a chip roughly doubles every two years [3]. Remarkably, the processor industry has largely followed this trend.
Transistor count is directly related to computational power, and continuous growth in transistor density has made microprocessors significantly more powerful. Until recently, increasing the processor's capabilities was mainly the result of shrinking transistors and packing more and more of them onto a chip. The problem is that transistors and components on a chip have become so small that getting any smaller will soon become physically impossible [3]. To overcome this challenge, some processor manufacturing companies have turned to more creative designs to solve the problem.
One technique that modern microprocessors use for increasing efficiency is known as "pipelining." Pipelining implements a "technique in which multiple instructions are overlapped in execution, much like an assembly line" [2]. Pipelining greatly speeds up processor performance by taking advantage of tasks that can be done in parallel. Recall that processors can only fetch, decode, and execute; without pipelining, a processor would have to fetch an instruction, decode it, and execute it, before moving on to the next instruction.
Processors can function seamlessly without pipelining, but notice that there is significant idle time between the stages, which is inefficient. With pipelining, the processor can fetch the first instruction, and then decode it while simultaneously fetching the second instruction. Finally the processor can execute the first instruction while decoding the second and fetching the third instruction. The pipelining method increases efficiency, and therefore speed, by using parts of the processor that are traditionally not in use to get a head start on the next task. While pipelining does not increase the speed of just one fetch-decode-execute cycle, it does increase the speed of multiple cycles, increasing the throughput of a system [2].
Another technique recently used to increase processor performance is known as parallel processing. "Multi-core" processors are an example of this [6]. What makes multi-core processors so beneficial is that they can split problems into smaller, independent subproblems that can be run at the same time, similar to the concept of pipelining. It is the same as having multiple processes team up to work on a single problem. Many processor cores, each capable of pipelining, can further divide tasks into smaller subproblems to greatly increase speed. Depending on the desired processor architecture, the division of the program is a task left to the programmer, compiler, and hardware.
There are more benefits to multi-core design than just speed increases, however. While speed is important, processor designers also try to reduce power usage and heat. Multi-core processors allow a reduction in transistor density from single core processors because they work more efficiently. Since two cores can divide and work on a single task, the clock speed, which affects heat dissipation through frequency of movement, is lower than that of a single-core processor doing equal computation in an equal amount of time. Lower transistor density and clock speeds mean less power consumption, and less heat dissipation, which are both beneficial to the field of microprocessor design [8].
Computing technology has come a long way since the days of punch cards or bulky vacuum tubes. The exponential growth of microprocessor transistor density outlined by Moore's law shows how, in just a few years, technology can rapidly accelerate to new levels. Although the microprocessor is a relatively young invention, it has already saturated the electronics market and has proven essential to modern conveniences. If microprocessor technology continues at this rate, the future will assuredly bring drastic advances in computing power and efficiency.

Zaha Hadid
Spring/Summer 2010 | Crista
At the crux of architecture, design, and the avant-garde is the internationally recognized architect Zaha Hadid. Known for her technical prowess as well as her steadfast, pioneering approach to female developed architecture, the late Zaha Hadid was a designer whose career was forged from vision and unmatched talent. Credited with having developed her own architectural language, her signature fluid, organic shapes are visible in her Glace collection for Atelier Swarovski. Evocative, molten shapes ooze slowly over the skin in black, white and flame tones. Deep within each piece are set tiny blue, white and red crystals that glisten like bubbles below the surface, enhancing the organic designs.
"I wanted the piece to convey Swarovski's ethos not just through its design, but through materiality"
— Zaha Hadid
Founder of her eponymous company Zaha Hadid Architects, her work spanned the interrelated fields of urbanism, architecture and design. Ranging from furniture to city planning, Hadid's aesthetic encompassed all scales of design with a nod towards the warped, anti-gravitational space of Russian avant-garde painting and sculpture. A lifelong innovator and enthusiast for new technologies, her collaborations with Swarovski date back to 2007, with projects ranging from spiralling light installations (Crystal Palace, Salone del Mobile 2008) to the sculptural jewelry collection 'Glace' (Atelier Swarovski 2010).
For her collaboration with Atelier Swarovski Home, 'Crista', Zaha Hadid debuted a collection of imposing centerpieces in crystal and metal. Inspired by the process crystallization which occurs in nature, the design is also notable for its use of Swarovski's new Wave Cut technology, which launches in 2016.

WASHINGTON -- An administration official said today the overhaul of the government's $700 billion financial rescue program is likely to include a partnership with the private sector to buy
troubled assets.
The official said the plan would use government money to support private sector purchases of bad assets that are weighing on banks' balance sheets and keeping them from resuming more normal lending.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity in advance of the proposal being released.
A Treasury Department spokeswoman said the revamped program was basically done with only "minor tweaks" occurring on Monday.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will give a speech on Tuesday at the Treasury epartment unveiling the new program.

Immortals, Jack and Jill, and J. Edgar Underwhelm in Weekend Box Office
Even <i>Immortals</i>' $31 million take is only so-so.
Veterans Day weekend means lots of kids off school and, Hollywood hoped, sitting in movie theater seats. But apparently not. The weekend's three openers each fell short of already tepid expectations. 300-knockoff Immortals did come in first with a little over $31 million in ticket sales, but that's a whopping 45 percent less than what Leonidas and his valiant Spartans brought in their opening weekend, and that's without the 3-D markup. (Though why even live-action films are now being 3-D-ed is simply baffling.) Guess air-brushed abs and golden-skinned gods just don't cut it anymore. In second came Adam Sandler's embarrassing career nosedive, Jack and Jill, which made back about a third of its budget this weekend but has been scoring dismal ratings among viewers.
Far down in fifth, in the $12 million range, the much-anticipated J. Edgar, from Clint Eastwood, which just missed the mark. "Shapeless and turgid and ham-handed," is how New York's own David Edelstein diplomatically described it. While Leonardo DiCaprio's acting was actually passable, Edelstein demurs, that rubberized face they gave him and the swerving accents left something to be desired. All in all a disappointing field. As Deadline's Nikki Finke incisively points out: "The real question is why Hollywood released two young male-skewing movies the weekend right after two major video games were released? Anecdotal evidence is that the guys were otherwise engaged." She's referring here, in part, to Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, which in its first day on sale earned a record $400 million, a benchmark few Hollywood blockbusters ever crack in these anemic times.

Dr. Ron Anderson, Parkland Memorial Hospital's longtime leader, will be replaced as chief executive, the Board of Managers decided late Tuesday, just days before a federal deadline to improve patient care or lose hundreds of millions in government health care funding.
After a two-hour closed-door meeting, Parkland's Board of Managers announced that it was hiring an "executive leadership consultant" to work with Anderson on defining a new role for him starting in January, after his current contract expires.
Dr. Lauren McDonald, the board chairwoman, emphasized that Anderson was not being fired. She called him an "icon in public health not only for Dallas, but the entire country," and said he would be given a newly created, paid position.
"We're going to see what we can do to capitalize on his strength and passions," McDonald said. "I'm not going to call it a job. This is a position, a leadership position."
Anderson is widely credited with turning Parkland into a regional health care provider known for its trauma and burn unit. He was also instrumental in helping to develop Texas' emergency medical treatment law aimed at preventing patient dumping.
That became a model for the nation.
"I honor Dr. Ron Anderson's 30 years of service and to the medical profession," said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. "But the time has come for new leadership and a decisive cultural shift at Parkland hospital. That said, no one knows more about public health care than Ron Anderson. I support the decision to work with Dr. Anderson to transition him in such a way to honor his service while maximizing his strengths for this critical chapter for the hospital."
McDonald said she called Anderson before the board's 5 p.m. meeting to inform him that he should be thinking about a new position. "He didn't hang up on me. He didn't call me any four-letter words," she said.
Anderson, who turns 65 in September, had no immediate comment. His spokeswoman released a brief statement after the board's announcement, saying, "He said to tell you thank you for your concern, but [he] does not want to talk tonight."
Tuesday's board action follows recent findings by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services that Parkland was putting patients in "immediate jeopardy" because of conditions in the hospital's emergency department and widespread problems in its infection-control procedures. The agency threatened to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in federal health care financing if the problems weren't corrected by Sept. 2.
Anderson appeared to dismiss the severity of the government's findings, telling reporters at one point that they were "technical violations." CMS officials, hospital board members and some senior staff members disagreed.
Government regulators returned to Parkland this week to verify that the hospital was making promised changes. And in a new development, the Joint Commission, a national accreditation agency, also visited Parkland on Monday, McDonald acknowledged. The reason for that visit is not clear.
CMS launched its sweeping investigation of patient safety at Parkland after The Dallas Morning News reported on the February death of a patient in the hospital's psychiatric emergency department. Parkland had not reported that death to authorities as required.
Board members gathered Tuesday in a meeting room at McDonald's Uptown condo high-rise and emerged after two hours to announce their plan for Anderson's future status at Parkland. It was the second closed-door board discussion of Anderson's fate in just over two weeks.
Anderson had been hoping to extend his current contract, which expires Dec. 31. As recently as two weeks ago, he told reporters he would ask the board to expand his duties to give him more control of daily operations at the hospital.
"Several years ago, the board asked me to step back from operations and do more outside the hospital," such as lobbying and outreach efforts, said Anderson. "I really think now it's time to reconsider re-engaging me in operations."
McDonald said plans for Anderson's replacement had not yet been finalized. However, the hospital will face a leadership void when its second-ranking administrator, John Haupert, departs in October to lead Atlanta's public hospital system. Haupert has been Parkland's chief operating officer for the past five years.
McDonald also tried to play down any connection between Anderson's new position and the widespread problems cited by government health care regulators.
"I want his fan club to know that I respect Dr. Anderson," McDonald said, referring to his many community supporters. "He's not being fired. He's not going anywhere. He's going to take on a different leadership position at Parkland."
A few hours after the meeting, McDonald sent a memo to all Parkland employees, advising them of the board's decision.
"What the Board must define, specifically, is the nature of the leadership role Dr. Anderson will continue to play at Parkland. To that end, we intend to engage the services of a consultant to help us define his role going forward," she said in the statement. "We will work with Dr. Anderson, that consultant and others to identify a role that will provide the greatest benefit to Dr. Anderson, Parkland and, most importantly, to the patients Parkland serves."
McDonald said an agreement with Anderson would be finalized before the end of the year.
Staff writers Brooks Egerton and Ryan McNeill contributed to this report.
TIMELINE: Parkland problems
Dr. Ron Anderson's tenure as Parkland Memorial Hospital's chief executive has become uncertain in recent months as patient-care problems mounted and government regulators, led by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, increased scrutiny.
May 23: CMS says in a letter to Anderson that Parkland will undergo a broad, high-stakes health and safety inspection in the coming weeks. It is prompted by the February death of a patient at Parkland's psychiatric ER, which regulators say the hospital failed to report as required.
July 11: A team of about a dozen government health care inspectors begins a top-to-bottom review of Parkland.
Aug. 9: CMS notifies Anderson that inspectors found failures posing "an immediate and serious threat to patient health and safety." Parkland received the agency's most serious finding of "immediate jeopardy," putting its government funding at risk if corrections aren't made.
Aug. 13: The Parkland board gathers in a closed-door, special meeting to discuss Anderson's job. No public action is taken. The board expresses support for Parkland staff but makes no mention of Anderson. He tells The Dallas Morning News that the inspection report is mainly a collection of "technical violations."
Aug. 19: Parkland releases the full inspection report and its written plan to fix problems, one day before CMS' deadline for receiving proposed corrections. The report details significant failures in emergency care and infection control.
Aug. 21: The News quotes Anderson saying, "I think my leadership is fine, but if you want to use this as an excuse for change, you can." He says he told the board Aug. 13 that he needed to be more involved in daily operations, not less.
Aug. 23: CMS approves Parkland's written plan to correct safety problems.
Monday: CMS begins its follow-up inspection to verify whether Parkland is implementing its plan to improve patient safety and restore Medicare compliance.
Tuesday: The Parkland board holds its second closed-door special meeting. Dr. Lauren McDonald, the chairwoman, announces that Anderson will take on a new role starting in January.
Friday: CMS says Parkland must have problems corrected by this date or face the loss of Medicare and Medicaid funding.

What is a friend?
What is a friend? No one really has the answer to that question. It's like there's a gap between the answer and the true meaning. Everyone has a different outlook on what a friend is. In the dictionary, a friend is suppose to be a supporter, someone who gives assistance, and someone who cares. I don't have friends, I have acquaintances. Reason being, I had a great friend once. She was everything I looked up to. Until she decided to turn her back on me for no reason and be my enemy. I considered her my sister, my best friend. She threw it all away for nothing, to be like the other cool cats. Then she tells the one person I love that their like the rest, saying their not any different then any other person I've been with. What place does that put me in? No, not in bigger one, but in a smaller one. I am upset, broken, tired & disappointed. I don't know what I did to deserve this.

Publication of the Foundation Schools' Coach Service Study Report
The Report of a joint study between LBS and The Dulwich Foundation Schools has recently been published. The Study explores the impact of the Schools Coach Service on local traffic arrangements, especially in relation to the proposed Quietway along Calton Avenue and congestion in Townley Road.

They're saving for cars and for college.
But because the job market in Carroll and elsewhere hasn't been as lucrative as in summers past, many college and high school students will find themselves pinching pennies longer to afford those expenses -- if they're working at all.
"It's been harder to find jobs because of the economy," said Kim Coleman, supervisor of the metropolitan Baltimore office of Kelly Services, a temporary employment firm. "We've had so many students and teachers who want to reactivate work with us, but the jobs aren't there. We haven't been able to bring as many on board as in previous years."

Candice Swanepoel Poses Naked For 'Vogue' Brazil: See Her Sexy Shoot
The stunning Victoria's Secret model stripped down to nothing for her latest shoot — and it proved to be sexier than ever! Do you think she looks good? VOTE.
Candice Swanepoel seems to be everywhere these days! Not only did the 25-year-old model totally wow us at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show when she opened the event as she strutted down the runway in the $10 million Fantasy Bra, but she also took it all off for her latest shoot in Vogue Brazil's January 2014 issue. The South African beauty wore nothing more than a sultry gaze and a turban as she perched on the edge of a bed — and it's seriously sexy.
Candice Swanepoel Naked For 'Vogue' Brazil:
Candice's figure looks phenomenal as she sits with her arms crossed over her chest to cover her breasts. Her crossed legs allow her to strategically conceal her privates as she sits there wearing nothing at all, save for oversized gold hoop earrings and a stack of thick bangle bracelets. The model looks stunning on the edge of the wooden bed frame, as billowing white curtains hang on each side of her from the canopy. How inviting!
The model has never been shy when it comes to stripping down in front of the camera. In fact, on Dec. 19 she took to Instagram to share some sizzling, behind-the-scenes shots from her latest Victoria's Secret bikini shoot — and just when we thought she couldn't get any hotter her latest spread came out!
What do you think of Candice's stripped down shoot for Vogue Brazil? Is this the sexiest she has ever looked? Check it out, VOTE, and be sure to comment below.

Berliner Releases Statement Folllowing Planning Chair Vote
Montgomery County Councilmember Roger Berliner made the following statement today after the Council named Casey Anderson as new chair of the County Planning Board:
"The selection of the Chair of the Planning Board is an important responsibility of the County Council—and of mine. One I take very, very seriously. The Planning Board is one of the most important institutions in our County government. Its guidance on the future of our County and the manner in which it performs its responsibilities play a key role in shaping our quality of life.
"The next Chair arrives at a critical juncture for our County. Our capacity to meet the challenges of the future—and we have them—is inextricably linked to our capacity to achieve sustainability in its fullest sense—environmentally, economically and socially. Our goal should be nothing less than being a true national model for being a green, prosperous and culturally and economically integrated community.
"And we can. We have terrific assets—among the finest residential neighborhoods anywhere; a nationally recognized school system and community college; a great park system; a vibrant cultural life; great urban "nodes"; an extraordinary agricultural reserve; a smart, educated workforce; home to NIH, FDA, NIST, DOE; and on the nation's doorstep. All assets of an extraordinarily diverse County—itself one of our great strengths.
"To realize our full potential, we will need to build on these assets. From a planning perspective, I am among those that believe that means prioritizing making our urban "nodes" all they can and should be. Enlivened, environmentally sustainable and technologically innovative spaces where walking, biking and a state of the art transit system make it less necessary to own or drive cars. Urban nodes that offer great and green public spaces. Nodes with a broad range of citizens from different economic, cultural and generational backgrounds living together among office workers and diverse retail establishments. That is what seniors, millennials, empty nesters, businesses and many residents say they want.
"And that vision is consistent with the wise decisions made years ago to preserve so much of our county's land—one-third of it for agricultural uses. We must turn aside from the temptation to promote sprawl that harms the environment, increases traffic and puts pressure on our agricultural reserve. Instead, our future depends on bringing about high quality "infill development" that transforms the acres of asphalt that characterize the strip malls of the 50's into a greener, more environmentally sustainable, enlivened communities. And we can do that while protecting the many established neighborhoods in our County.
"But we do have work to do to bring this vision about. First and foremost, we must be "all in" on bringing about the next generation of transit. If we change the conversation about Montgomery County from one where traffic is always an issue to one where we are talking about having the finest transit system in the country, we will have done more to improve the quality of life and our future than any single action we could take. We have a "plan" on how to do it. And now we need to move into implementation. With urgency. Secondly, we must roll up our sleeves and figure out how we can do more to provide and retain more affordable housing throughout our county. If we properly attend to these issues as we focus on our infill opportunities, we will make our county an even better place to live, work, and play. And finally, we must ensure that we have sufficient school capacity in the down county as we focus on infill development, which means we must succeed next year in our effort with the state legislature to obtain the funds our growing school system needs.
"However, there are many in our community that appear to believe that creating great urban nodes, more transit, and mixed use development is in conflict with the wonderful quality of our existing neighborhoods. I utterly reject that premise. I have had the privilege of representing—and fighting for—some of the finest residential neighborhoods anywhere. And I will continue to be a vigilant defender of our neighborhoods in the years ahead. The fundamental fact is that dynamic, urban nodes and mixed-use developments are not in conflict with wonderful residential neighborhoods—indeed, they are complementary and synergistic.One can surely look to the Edgemoor community in Bethesda to see that is true.
"When I assessed the candidates for Chair that our Council met with and interviewed, a uniformly strong and impressive group, I concluded that Commissioner Anderson came closest to holding the vision I have for our County's future. And I say that as a member of the Council that has not always agreed with Commissioner Anderson on some issues. But make no mistake about it, he is a strong proponent of smart and sustainable growth, served by world class transit. These are the key components of a strong future for our County.
"While each of us has our own experiences, my experience of Commissioner Anderson is that he has consistently demonstrated a thoughtful, well-reasoned, and respectful approach to issues guided by core principles. In those conversations, he has always affirmed his commitment to preserving both the integrity of our residential neighborhoods and the agricultural reserve. What is more, he is a person of great intellect and passion for his work, two qualities that will serve him well as Chair. He is generous with his time, and willing to meet with any member of the community to discuss issues facing our community—the big ones and the small ones. His door is always open.
"This morning, Commissioner Anderson received nearly unanimous support of the Council. I am confident that as Chair he will help lead our County to a more dynamic and prosperous future that embraces and builds upon our existing terrific community assets.
"And it is more than worth noting that the Planning Board works for our Council. We make the calls—block-by-block, building by building. I have been among the most active members on land use issues over the years, even though I am not a member of the PHED Committee. I led the fight to preserve Ten Mile Creek in Clarksburg; I fought for lower heights in Chevy Chase Lake; and I was proud to lend my energy to making White Flint a terrific destination—which it most assuredly will be. As we move into the next term, I will continue to advocate for land use plans that propel our county forward and address some of our overarching policy goals while simultaneously advocating for neighborhoods. This has always been the way I have gone about my work at the Council and that will not change. At the end of the day, the Council will always be the final decision-maker on all land-use issues.
"I have a strong and positive belief in our County's future. We can have it all if we work at it—together. My deliberations over who should lead Planning Board as the next Chair were guided by that vision for our future."

Dr. Abrams continues: "When the news of the twenty-year sentences reached the editors of the religious press, practically every one of these publications, great and small, rejoiced over the event. I have been unable to discover any words of sympathy in any of the orthodox religious journals. 'There can be no question,' concluded Upton Sinclair, that 'the persecution . . . sprang in part from the fact that they had won the hatred of "orthodox" religious bodies.' What the combined efforts of the churches had failed to do the government now seemed to have succeeded in accomplishing for them." After quoting the derogatory comments of a number of religious publications, the writer referred to the reversal of the decision in the Court of Appeals and remarked: "This verdict was greeted with silence in the churches. Revelation It's Grand Climax page 168"
It is my hope that the different biblical faiths will help to sort out this inquiry.
All three books hold the key IMO.
The Muslim Qu'arn is similiar to the Christian Bible with some of the stories told in a different
fashion and sometimes with more or slightly different commentary revealing extra clues which would make their interpretation to God's Two Witnesses more revealing.

In July 1776, fifty-six men risked their lives and livelihood to defy the British and sign the most important document in the history of the United States-and yet how many of them do we actually remember?
