With the ease and convenience of cloud computing comes an increased risk of cyber crime aimed at swiping sensitive data and information, but researchers at a prestigious New England university are seeking to develop a cloud that could recognize an attack and eliminate it while in operation. The federal government also is investigating that feasibility with those who have an online computer science degree or knowledge of computer engineering information.
The university's computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory received funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to look into the innovative technology, which would ensure national safety and help boost growth of the U.S. economy.
Most security measures disable systems if a threat is detected, which leads to outages, and the researchers In the "Cloud Intrusion Detection and Repair" study hope to change that standard. They aim to map how cloud networks are created and operate so clouds can perform self-assessments to see if is working within set guidelines and, if not, be able to return itself to the normal operating procedure.
"Much like the human body has a monitoring system that can detect when everything is running normally, our hypothesis is that a successful attack appears as an anomaly in the normal operating activity of the system," the technology's principal investigator Martin Rinard said. "By observing the execution of a 'normal' cloud system we're going to the heart of what we want to preserve about the system, which should hopefully keep the cloud safe from attack."
According to Network World, among biggest hot buttons related by cyber attacks are loss of confidential data, application-layer denial of service attacks, managing complexity and risk, downtime due to a cloud outage, employee "personal clouds" and lack of visibility.
In November, Keith Alexander - commander of the U.S. Cyber Command committee and director of the National Security Agency said the cloud will help the country cut IT costs and more easily protect assets. In fact, the cloud helped NSA reduce its administration costs by half and cut its number of help desks from 900 to two.
"We can argue over merits of cloud structure but we have found it is easier to secure the cloud," Alexander said at the DARPA Cyber Colloquium, according to Network World. "We need defensible architectures and we have to change the way think about defending systems."

Sports nationwide could face cuts due to referee shortage
COLUMBIA - A shortage of sport officials is causing problems for all sporting events around the nation.
Some programs could be cut or terminated, not because of funding, but because there are not enough officiators to run the games.
"What is happening is our officials are aging, and as they are aging we are not replenishing them with younger officials at the same rate that our officials are aging," said Missouri State High School Activities Association Assistant Director Kenny Seifert.
The consequence of the shortage is there might not be enough referees for teams to play full schedules at tournaments or other events.
Aging officials aren't the only concern.
"No one has been able to identify exactly what the problem is because I don't think there is one problem," Seifert said. "It's multi-faceted in that you have to be able to identify what the problem is from being a very demanding situation that takes a lot of time."
According to Seifert and Vincent Hawkins, a current referee, schools are seeing an increase in student involvement in athletics and activities, and then that is matched with this decrease in officials.
"We have a lot of people who are participating that know the game and love the game," Hawkins said. "Why they're not giving back to the game or why they're not feeling like this is an opportunity to give back to the game is a little bit of a mystery for sure."
Officiating sports is seen as a part time job. Hawkins said it pays fairly well for a part-time gig.
"Getting certified through the state is a nominal fee, and it's a great opportunity to give back," he said.
Giving back is one of the main reasons Hawkins and Seifert are still involved in sports today.
The website of the Missouri State High School Activities Association has information on how to become a referee.

Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
WOBURN -- The best friend and girlfriend of former Tewksbury wrestling champ Broc Dokos have each been charged with perjury for giving false testimony at Dokos' dangerousness hearing last July.
In Middlesex Superior Court Tuesday, Dokos' girlfriend Amanda Ferreira, 19, of Tewksbury, and best friend, Fox Maxwell, 19, of Winchester, pleaded not guilty to perjury charges.
The two teens were released on personal recognizance with a pretrial conference scheduled for Feb. 3.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan alleges that Ferreira and Maxwell testified at Dokos' dangerousness hearing that they witnessed the fight between Dokos and victim Stephen Bonugli. Both testified Bonugli was the initial aggressor.
Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our SmugMug site.
But investigators learned that neither Ferreira nor Maxwell were at the party, Ryan said in a press release.
"Both defendants gave allegedly false testimony to the court compromising the integrity of an ongoing investigation and the judicial process," Ryan said.
Dokos, 19, of Lawrence, is charged with assault and battery causing serious injury. He was accused of attacking Bonugli, 18, a former teammate at a Tewksbury house party on July 3.
Witnesses told police that as an allegedly drunken Bonugli sat on the couch, Dokos "stormed" into the living room and punched Bonugli in the face up to six times.
Bonugli, who was unconscious after the first blow, suffered a broken jaw, fractured check and orbital bones and a concussion.
Bonugli's father, Stephen Bonugli Sr. told police that his son and Dokos had "an issue" during the wrestling season. Dokos allegedly told Bonugli he would "get him" when he least expected it.
Dokos is free on bail pending a Jan. 9 trial date.

Flight inspection at Frankfurt Airport
Noise disturbance to be expected during the day and at night
19.05.2015.- In the period from 21 to 24 May 2015, calibration flights will be conducted at Frankfurt Airport.
The accuracy of the instrument landing systems for runway northwest and the centre runway will be inspected. Flight checks will be conducted for the landing directions 25 (westerly weather patterns) and 07 (easterly weather patterns). The calibration aircraft being used is a twin-turboprop Beechcraft Super King Air 350. During this time, noise disturbance is to be expected both during daytime and nighttime hours. If it is impossible to conduct the calibration flights during this time, due to bad weather, for example, they will be postponed to the period from 11 to 14 June 2015.
In principle, a night curfew applies at Frankfurt Airport from 23:00 to 5:00 hrs and no take-offs or landings are allowed. However, flights for technical checks, such as calibration flights, are also permitted during the night so that there is no negative impact on regular operations during the day.
The calibration of technical facilities is indispensable for the safety of air traffic. DFS would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused by such flights.
DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH, the German air navigation service provider, is a State-owned company under private law with 5,881 employees as at 31 December 2014. DFS ensures the safe and punctual flow of air traffic over Germany. Around 2,000 air traffic controllers guide up to 10,000 flights in German airspace every day, and about three million movements every year. This makes Germany the country with the highest traffic volume in Europe. The company operates control centres in Langen, Bremen, Karlsruhe and Munich as well as 16 control towers at international airports in Germany. In addition, DFS is represented at the EUROCONTROL Control Centre in Maastricht, the Netherlands. Additional areas of activity include consulting, provided by the Aeronautical Solutions Division, and aeronautical data, grouped in the Aeronautical Information Management Division.

Chapters 5-8 Summary and Analysis
Chapter 5 - Ishmael and the other boys were so hungry they felt ill, and they became irritable. They chased a little boy down for some of his food and grabbed it from him. The parents of the young boy took pity on them and gave them some food. The boys continued walking. At one point some rebels grabbed them. The rebels took them to a village where they witnessed soldiers interrogating a man then killing him. The rebels separated the boys so that Ishmael was in a different group from his brother, Junior. One group was going to die, and the other group had a chance to live. Ishmael was just about to be killed when the rebels heard a noise. While they were distracted, the boys ran. The friends all made it into the woods safely. They walked...

Desk. Wednesday , January 17th , 2018 - 19:01:22 PM
Working at a desk top computer over fifty years of age with your general purpose prescription eyeglasses can be challenging on your eyes. The eye's focusing ability is under a strain to keep the content on the screen clear. Just because you can see the computer screen clearly through the distant portion of your glasses doesn't mean you are not taxing the eye's focusing ability to maintain a sharp focus. Also, lifting your chin up to see through the mid portion of your progressive style lenses will have consequences on your neck and back due to poor ergonomics. The reason you are using a bifocal is to see at close reading distance clearly for extended periods of time.
Natural wood is by right considered to be the most traditional material for making desks. Of course, wooden desks are not made of one certain wood breed, there are dozens of them. You can choose timber, either very hard (for example, oak or hornbeam) or very beautiful (for example, cherry tree). It's possible to choose an expensive breed, as mahogany, or cheap pine-tree. Of course, the harder and more beautiful the wood texture is, the more expensive will be a desk, made of it. Desks, made of natural wood, as a rule, look very respectable and they make a room cosy. To be in use for a long time such desks need special care, they shouldn't be used in a dusty or damp room.
The glass top computer desk can be used for your home office since it is available in a compact design that won't occupy too much space. It also has decorative tempered-glass panels with a chrome steel frame, a mirror-finish, and side panels with a brown finish. The steel frame promises stability and durability, allowing your desk to be as strong as metal computer desks.

It's also about exploring the beauty of contrast through juxtaposition of disparate raw materials, sometimes in asymmetrical composition. Often, the objects I use are the precious, yet overlooked, artifacts of everyday life. I'm an obsessive collector of those tiny treasures.

My L.A. Weekly story last week, The Outing: David Dreier and His Straight Hypocrisy, generated a huge reaction from everyone except the powerful 12-term San Gabriel Valley congressman.
The P.R. strategy adopted by Dreier is silence hes hoping that, by ignoring the story about the Internet campaign to out the congressman as a hypocritical closet homosexual who consistently votes against the rights and interests of gay people, it will simply go away. So far, the strategy seems to be working, at least where some of the major print and television outlets are concerned. For example, absent a comment from Dreier, the Los Angeles Times (where there were serious internal discussions about whether or not to cover the story) has been reluctant to weigh in for its many readers in Dreiers district even though Dreiers Democratic opponent came out of the closet to denounce him. L.A. Times editor John Carroll did not return phone or e-mail requests for comment.
After the Weeklys article, Cynthia Matthews the Democratic nominee in Dreiers Foothills congressional district gave interviews to local radio stations and Internet media saying she was proud of her lesbian relationship. I have been in an 11-year relationship with my partner, Matthews told RawStory.com, and refuse to run for office if I would be required to relegate my partner to the closet.
Matthews particularly criticized Dreier for paying the man he lives with his chief of staff, Brad Smith a remarkably high salary. David Dreier contributes to a culture that allows closeted gays and lesbians to pay those with whom they have personal relationships from the government payroll, she added, citing New Jersey Governor Jim McGreeveys recent resignation for having done just that.
I received a barrage of phone calls from Los Angeles radio stations which beam into Dreiers district inviting me to discuss my story on air. I accepted six of those requests including one from KABC-AM shock jock Al Rantel. Since Im not an Angeleno (and I rarely listen to radio chat in any case), and had no idea what Rantel was all about, I was a bit taken aback when in his very first words to me when I joined him on-air by phone Rantel denounced my story as trash. He then said that he, as a gay man, found the story offensive but went on to defend Dreiers many votes against adoption by same-sex couples, for the gay-bashing Defense of Marriage Act, and other anti-gay legislative acts in Dreiers 24-year congressional career. After enduring Rantels intemperate vituperation for some 20 minutes, I finally told him that you sound to me like a self-loathing homosexual in Congressman Dreiers mode, and hung up. It turned out that Rantel himself was guilty of hypocrisy denouncing my article for discussing the Internet outing campaign while (I later learned) having himself discussed Dreiers sexuality extensively on-air to titillate his listeners in the days before my story ran.
I had questioned, in my article, why the chain of daily papers in Dreiers district had been silent on the contrast between Dreiers anti-gay voting record and his closeted gay life. And I heard from the Pasadena Star-News (one of the larger dailies in this chain) requesting information. But, when I asked the reporter who called me if the Star-News would be running a story the next day, he warned me not to expect a story any time soon while telling me he couldnt fill me in even off the record on the discussions about it at the Pasadena paper. Trying to talk to journalists from this pro-Republican Valley newspaper chain about Dreier is like trying to talk to a reporter from Pravda about Stalin in the dictators salad days the fear of reprisals from management is palpable. Clearly, the dont ask, dont tell editorial policy about Dreiers straight hypocrisy is still in effect in the Media News Groups string of San Gabriel Valley dailies none of which have published a single word about all this.
On the other hand, the e-mail traffic to my blog, DIRELAND, and to me directly, about this story has been vigorous. Kris wrote in to say: Thanks for the story. I live in his District, and believe that many of his supporters had no clue, and either will care very much, or will have to closely examine their own prejudices. So, good work, good for you, and lets see what the weak-spined area newspapers will do with it! Many of my e-mails were in this same vein.
But not all of the responses were so kind especially after a number of right-wing bloggers denounced my article. For example, George e-mailed me that I dont believe there is a lower form of journalism than outing. There is simply no justification for such an invasion of privacy. I just dont care if he likes your agenda or not. Who is to say that a vote on XYZ is pro-gay or anti-gay? To characterize a bill in one or two words is infantile and anyone with a moment of experience in Washington knows that the dynamics are much more complicated than what you can put on a bumper sticker. To which Scott Long posted this reply: I cant believe that some of the comments posted here actually seek to condemn outing of these Uncle Toms. Sounds like the individuals writing the comments are suffering from a cerebral-rectal-inversion syndrome.

And, in the wake of my article, the national gay weekly The Advocate posted a column in defense of Mike Rogers Blogactive.com outing campaign which first targeted Dreier by Charles Kaiser, a former New York Times reporter and Princeton University journalism professor. Kaiser compared the outing of closeted politicians who oppose gay rights to the Times outing of a Jew who was a prominent American Nazi Party activist. Hypocrisy which in this case had morphed into extreme self-hatred has traditionally been viewed by serious journalists as a good reason to do a story, Kaiser wrote, suggesting gay Republicans who actively work against gay causes are also guilty of a kind of hypocrisy that deserves public exposure.
I dont think there is any good argument for outing a closeted politician who supports gay rights, Kaiser added, but any secretly gay person who uses his bully pulpit to vilify his own people deserves the treatment Rogers is now meting out in the nations capital . . .
The lesbian poet Judy Grahn once remarked that it isnt talking about homosexuality that gets people upset its talking about homophobia that drives people crazy. The reason, of course, is that doing so rubs the noses of people in their most deep-seated prejudices and fears. And, as my old friend Jules Feiffer the cartoonist-playwright-scenarist likes to point out, Sex is still Americas dirty little secret.

Promoting Arts & Culture
Arts and culture not only make our lives worth living but also contribute importantly to economic development – business, job development, the downtown food scene, and the Arts are inextricably linked. I am a strong advocate for more resources to arts and culture – I have brought thousands of dollars to the district for small and large arts, culture, performance, educational, and entertainment institutions and organizations throughout the district, and I will continue to do so.
I have been a constant and strong supporter of transforming the old Boyd Theater on west Chestnut Street to a multipurpose entertainment and hospitality facility. Close-by residents and old time movie theater buffs are in total support of this urban renewal project. I have been working with citizens and Friends of the Boyd to realize our dream.
I support legislation that would set up special taxing districts to provide tax exemptions to businesses and residents that locate in those areas. The tax exemptions would last for five years, followed by a gradual return to normal tax levels over the next four years.

A Vision on Victorian
Walker Pointe -- SOLD
SOLD | 4 Bed | 2½ Bath | 2,244 SqFt
Why We Love It
1. Attention to Details. I admire those people have that keen eye for detail and are able to execute a vision they have in their head! Seeing as many houses as we do, you can sometimes think "if you have seen one, you have seen them all"....Well that is not true here! The details in this house are very cool! Concrete counter tops in the kitchen to the half bath on the first floor. This house is full of surprises!
2. Backyard. I am in love with this backyard. All the seasons of the year, you have a great view. It is amazing not to have neighbors behind you! Large mature trees line the backyard and define the boundary lines of the large lot. The two tiered deck serves and as an extension of the living area to take advantage of the beautiful days in Ohio. The lower level of the deck holds the brick smoker! Want a fire pit...no problem! You just bring the s'mores and lawn chairs.
3. Location. Many people are catching on to the fact that you can drive about 7 minutes south of Grove City, and save about $100 a month in taxes, have a great school district, and great neighbors!
What You Need To Know
The Seller had quite a creative eye with his attention to detail and vision for the home. As you enter, you will notice it has quite a two story grand entry. The whole home has been freshly painted with one of Joanna Gaines favorite neutral light grays and all of the doors and trims have been freshly painted with a crisp white! The house flows with an abundance of natural light. This is a traditional floor plan that is large enough to meet your open floor plan requests. Ceramic tile meets you at the door, real hardwood floors span the rest first floor and upstairs is newer carpet.
The kitchen is spacious. The concrete counter tops are a welcomed changed from the same vinyl or even granite counter tops you see everyday; very solid and durable! The faux brick back splash is the perfect compliment to them. The bay window is cut out perfectly for an eat in area. I know in my house, this seems to be the space that we use the most for our day to day meals. From here the home flows nicely into the family from. On the other side of the house is the large dining room and large formal living room. I don't know that I have ever seen a half bath this cool! The concrete vessel bowl sits on a petrified wood vanity. The faucet looks like something you would see on The Jetsons! The laundry room is also on this level.
The 2nd floor has the master suite that spans the depth of the house. The bedroom is huge with a large window that allows natural light flow through the room. With a beautiful view of the tree lined backyard. The view is even beautiful in the winter, with the trees bear, you are able to see the mature, large pine tree and off in the distance, the sprawling hills are stunning. I would place two chairs around the windows with a small table in between and make a quaint reading nook, a space to "get away from it all". The vaulted ceilings and molding lined plant ledges creates height and openness. There is an arched transition to His and Her walk in closets that are large enough for your winter, spring, summer and fall clothes. Terra cotta ceramic tile leads you to the master bathroom. The large soaking tub is to your right. I think Bath and Body Works is having a sale on the fragrance candles...perfect! The vanity has a beautiful stone counter top; the shower is larger than normal as well. The home has two other large bedrooms and a loft. The loft overlooks the entry way. It could easily be converted to a 4th bedroom, the closet is already there. If you don't have a need for the bedroom, this versatile space can be a playroom, office, game room or whatever your hearts desires!
The basement has the drywall up and only needs flooring. This area was used to work on most of the amazing details you find this this home, so flooring was not conducive for that. At least you get to pick it out! The flooring, roof, hot water tank, painting and hot water take have already been updated. You can spend that money on decorating!!! This is a great house, in a great neighborhood and great location. The shopping and freeway are about 7 minutes away. Like to golf, Fox Fire Golf Course is a stone throw away. I don't think this move in ready home will last very long!

Alison Moore's first novel, The Lighthouse, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2012 and in the New Writer of the Year category of the National Book Awards 2012 before winning the McKitterick Prize 2013. The title story of her debut collection The Pre-War House and Other Stories won first prize in the novella category of The New Writer Prose and Poetry Prizes. The collection was nominated for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award 2013. Born in Manchester in 1971, she lives near Nottingham and is an honorary lecturer in the School of English at Nottingham University.
TLC was the first service of its kind to offer professional, in-depth editorial advice and assessment to anyone writing in the English language, anywhere in the world. It removed professional editorial feedback from the confines of the commercial publishing setting and into a more democratic arena. Despite initial concern that writers wouldn't really want to know what an editor thought of their abilities, TLC found quite the opposite. The majority of clients were pleased to have a detailed editorial assessment from a professional who has carefully read and thought about their work, even if the final response is not a recommendation for publication. TLC has always operated with an ethos of honesty and spirit of independent thinking and believes that a constructive but firm response enables authors to get on – either with a re-write, a new writing project, or with other things in their lives.
Since TLC was founded the literary landscape and publishing industry have changed significantly, with many more resources and options available for writers and increased diversification due to new technologies. TLC has developed a wider range of services in addition to its central and original offer of manuscript assessment and become much more than a reading service. In 2001 TLC received its first tranch of ongoing core funding from Arts Council England. This enabled the provision of free reads known as 'The Free Read Scheme' and 'Chapter and Verse' – an Arts Council backed mentoring scheme.
TLC now also programmes and runs literary events, writing workshops and holidays. In 2009, TLC became a founding member of the Free Word Centre, an international organisation for literature, literacy and freedom of expression, based in Farringdon in central London.
Founded in 1919, A.M.Heath is one of the UK's leading literary agencies. We represent established contemporary authors, rising stars and some of the iconic writers of the 20th Century. Our focus is on working with authors to exploit the potential of their writing in as many arenas as possible. Our agents work closely together to ensure that we cover all areas of the business and each author benefits from the shared expertise of our tight-knit and supportive team.
Between us we represent a wide range of prize-winning and bestselling fiction and non-fiction; journalists, historians, biographers, experts and novelists across all genres, from crime to literary, historical to YA and children's.
We are also proud to represent several major literary estates, including the Orwell estate.
Over the last 20 years the Bridport Prize has been the most important poetry competition for bringing new and undiscovered voices to the public's attention and to the attention of the judges of the Forward Prize.

Mount LeConte sees record October snowfall
GATLINBURG, Tenn. (AP) - The 32 inches of snow that blanketed Mount LeConte during Superstorm Sandy set an October record.
Great Smoky Mountains National Park officials told the Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/PJF4vt ) the previous record was set in 2010 and was just 6 inches.
This week, the 6,600-foot mountain on the Tennessee side of the Smokies saw drifts as deep as 7 feet.
Having snow so early in the year is not unusual - it snows as early as September in the higher elevations, just not so much.
LeConte Lodge reported no problems as a result of the snow. The 15 or so visitors who spent Monday night at the highest guest lodge in the eastern U.S. were given an extra night free to encourage them not to brave the hike to their cars.

I am getting frustrated with this swine flu stuff. I think the numbers are a lot bigger than they are saying. No one wants to take an illness seriously unless you have tested positive for H1N1. There are so many kids being hospitalized around here. We lost another kid in the town next to ours over the weekend. 11 years old. None of these are being reported as the swine flu. Most of them sound like they had the swine flu before they became so ill, but by the time they end up in the hospital, H1N1 is not detectable. But hay, it wasnt swine flu so what? disregard them? Its crazy! Its like they dont take you serious unless you've been "tested". Do they really think that you can only have the flu if you've had the test? Your not really sick unless you have been "Dr. confirmed". Im not sure I have ever wanted to shake someone before as bad as I do when I get that snide condescending tone asking me if it has been Dr. confirmed when I say my son has the flu. I know what the flippin flu is. Its not that hard to figure out.
Sorry, had to rant there a bit.
The one thing I notice about this flu, is that it goes back and forth. My son had a bad cough for a month. All better. Then he had a headache. All better. Then his whole body hurt, bloodshot eyes, and fever of 101.8. Took him to the Dr. and his fever was gone. Later it came back. Off and on constantly with out meds. He tested possitive for the flu. It took a week of back and forth for that thing to be gone. Granted they put him on tamiflu immediatly. The nurse at the school said a lot of kids are comming and going back and forth. So, she asked me not to bring him back unless his temp was below 99. On the last day, we both thought he was all better. His fever was below 99 for more than 24 hours, was feeling fine. With in a half hour his fever jumped back up and he threw up all day long. Next day he was tired, but better. Now here we are two weeks later and that darn cough is comming back again!
The boy who passed away this weekend went on and off like that for three weeks.
Another little girl I know who was hospitalized acted like she was fighting off a bad cold for a couple of weeks. Her fever never got above 100 so they thought it was either a cold or allergies. Then she started getting sick like my son did, and unfortunatly became severly dehydrated. Her mom said it happened so fast.
Anyway, what Im trying to say is that the numbers are a lot bigger they they are saying.

It's odd how this flu starts off with headaches... not sniffles, or the dreaded 100 yd Dash to the toilet... Does the virus try to go for the brain first? I'm trying to not make it sound like some sort of 'mind control virus'... but it does seem odd the first shot out of the gate is a nasty headache.

When I started to make dinner the other night this is not what I had in mind. It started as just panko crusted chicken parmesan with a side spinach salad. I decided to have a little fun with these chicken bundles and threw in some ham to make it a chicken cordon bleu type of dish and luckily I threw in some spinach for my kids to eat and this dish was perfect! I loved it this way but it would be good with some spaghetti sauce on top too!
Cheesy Chicken Bundles
4-6 small chicken breast, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped finely
1 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
8-12 slices of ham
1 egg, beaten
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1 cup spaghetti sauce- optional
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, and chopped spinach together. Grab a piece of chicken and place about 2 heaping Tablspoons of the cheese/spinach mixture. Continue until all chicken breast are done. Then take 2 slices of ham per chicken and place on top. Grab a baking dish and lightly spray with cooking spray. Roll up each chicken tightly and place a toothpick in. Place beaten egg in a bowl and the panko crumbs on a plate. Dip chicken in the beaten egg and then roll in panko bread crumbs. Place in a baking dish seam side down. Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from oven and throw away toothpick. If you want you can serve with spaghetti sauce over top and sprinkle with more mozzarella.

3D TVs have, for a little while, been the upcoming thing in the home technology world and they call it double developments in terms of t.v. innovations. The fact that manufacturers are working so hard to produce ever better three dimensional images suggests that the future is bright for 3D TV – especially when considering the commitment of broadcasters such as Sky.
That said, there is another rival technology which has recently appeared on the market that might just take some of the wind out of the 3D sales' sails, particularly whilst there is still a relative lack of 3D material out there. The new technology is OLED, and many experts think that is signals the end of the LCD television.
OLED stands for 'Organic Light Emitting Diode' and its main benefit is that it uses a significantly smaller amount of power than just about anything else on the market and prvides faster response rate, wider aspect ratio, improved brightness and more beautiful colors that the predecessor, as well as can display deep black levels. It is using small molecules and practically paper thin (seriously, it's unbelievably thin) and has no need for a back light because of the way that the electrical currents are used to 'draw' colours onto the screen. Incredibly, without the back light, it's still brighter than your average LCD TV.
Oh, and if you want to (though I'm not sure why you would) you can bend it or even fold it and it still works.
The possible applications for OLED are enormous, not least because it produces its own light. The drawback at the moment is that it's very expensive, so we shouldn't be expecting phones, and even billboards and posters, to appear in OLED just yet. However, some of the biggest tech companies in the world are working on making OLED cheaper, and when it does, it could blow everything else out of the water.
At the moment there's no reason to assume that some clever spark won't be able to produce a 3D TV with OLED technology, although you may have to be rather wealthy to afford it. With both technologies relatively expensive at the moment, OLED is losing out because of the publicity that surrounds 3D TV, but it wouldn't be wise to bet against OLED winning the race in the long run. If you looking a very big TV that can gives ultimate viewing experience for you and family and have a lot of budget, you can check the 84 inch Sony Bravia XBR-84X900 TV.

Gurgaon got a little closer to north and central Delhi on Friday with the opening of the Central Secretariat-Qutub Minar Metro corridor cutting the travel time between Connaught Place to the satellite city to just 50 minutes.
The 12.53-km fully underground corridor that passes through some of the densely-populated areas of south Delhi, which have been deprived of the Metro comfort till now, was integrated with the already operational Qutub Minar-HUDA City Centre line.
Urban Development Minister S Jaipal Reddy inaugurated the corridor and flagged off the first train from the Udyog Bhawan station in the presence of Delhi Chief Sheila Dikshit and DMRC Managing Director E Sreedharan.
Ultimately, the Central Secretariat-HUDA City Centre line got integrated with the existing Jehangirpuri-Central Secretariat corridor, thus making it the longest line of the Delhi Metro spanning 45 kms and covering north, central and south Delhi with the Millennium City of Gurgaon.
The entire 45 km distance will be covered in just 80 minutes, a DMRC spokesman said, adding that this will allow people to save a lot of time and money.
Dikshit thanked DMRC chief E Sreedharan for his meticulous planning and execution of the Metro projects in the national capital.
"With the opening of this line, passengers can travel from right here to Gurgaon in a single train," she said.
Jaipal Reddy said, "With this opening DMRC has achieved one more milestone in its triumphant march".
The opening of the line today means a lot for passengers as they will be able to reach Gurgaon from Connaught Place, the city's shopping hub, in just 50 minutes, as compared to a minimum of 90 minutes by road. The fare between the two stations is Rs 25.
The line will also allow commuters in north and central Delhi to travel to South Delhi and Gurgaon and vice-versa.
The maximum fare on the line is Rs 29 from Jehangirpuri-HUDA City Centre. The entire journey from Jehangirpuri to Gurgaon will be covered in 80 minutes.
With the corridor expected to attract thousands of more people, the DMRC will run 36 to 40 trains at a frequency of 5-6 minutes everyday.
This was the first time that the Metro passed through localities in south Delhi like INA Market, AIIMS, Green Park, Hauz Khas, Malviya Nagar and Saket. There will be 34 stations on this corridor out of which 20 of the stations are underground while 14 are elevated, a DMRC spokesman said.

Are All Men Pedophiles?
For the first time a documentary examines the global impact of pedophilia from a cultural and professional perspective. We live in a society that condemns pedophiles, though biological instinct and world cultures throughout history suggest that an attraction to adolescents is as natural as it is unavoidable. The fashion industry on the one hand sexualizes ever-younger girls while those who act on these instincts are reviled. The apparent hypocrisy at the heart of society forces the question: What do we mean when we talk about Pedophilia? The film explores the many dangers children face and exposes the systematic violation of children rights by societies, presenting the testimony of both victims and perpetrators. It also looks at how the pedophilia hysteria that has led to the mass incarceration adults and children. In conclusion, we are faced with both the contradiction of a society which sexualizes youth and the question: Are All Men Pedophiles?

Master of Arts in Social Work (Mental Health) problems are amongst the most important contributors to the global burden of disease and disability. The Global Burden of Disease world over due to mental health concerns is greater than that expected by tuberculosis, cancer or heart disease. In the year 2000, mental and neurological conditions accounted for 12.3% of disability-adjusted years lost globally and 31% of all years lived with disability at all ages and in both sexes. Of the top 10 health conditions contributing to disability adjusted life years, four are mental disorders. Mental and behavioural disorders affect more than 25% of people at any given point of time. This means 450 million people worldwide are affected by mental, neurological or behavioral problems at any given point of time. In India, about 20 to 30 million people appear to be in need of mental health care. A meta-analysis of 13 epidemiological studies concluded that the prevalence estimate of mental health problems is 58.2 per 1,000 population. The study indicated that mental disorders were higher in urban areas, among women, in the age group of 35–44 years and in the lower socio-economic strata. The study concluded that in India nearly 1.5 million people suffer from severe mental disorders and 5.7 million suffer from various psychiatric disorders requiring immediate attention.
Compared to this huge need, there are about 3,500 psychiatrists, 1,000 psychiatric social workers, 1,000 clinical psychologists and 900 psychiatric nurses in the country. The recent Atlas project of the WHO reports that all countries in South East Asian region and nearly all countries in Africa have less than one psychiatrist for a population of one lakh. The population of India, exceeding one billion people, has access to less than 4,000 psychiatrists as compared to the nearly 80,000 psychiatrists for 840 million in Europe. The National Mental Health Programme (NMHP) in India was launched in 1982 and aimed at providing minimum mental health care to maximum through integration of mental health services within the existing health care system. This ambitious NMHP failed to achieve any of its targets over the subsequent decades. In early 2001, the NMHP was radically revamped. It was re-launched as part of the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2002–2007) and the budgetary allocation was increased more than seven-fold. However, lack of trained professionals and administrative structures have been responsible for the inability of the programme to take off. It is in the context of this gap between the magnitude of mental health problems and the lack of services, and trained professionals to address it that the M.A. Social Work in Mental Health finds its relevance.
With rapid social change and urbanisation, there are several vulnerable groups whose mental health concerns need urgent attention. Some examples include, urban poor living on the streets and slums, women and children exposed to domestic violence, populations displaced by mega development projects, single women, sexual minorities, people living with HIV/AIDS, and so on. In order to be able to comprehend the mental health concerns of these groups, it is vital to move beyond our thinking in the mental health sector and conceptualise training programmes as well as service models that integrate the biological, psychological and interpersonal with the social and the cultural. Thus, a training/teaching programme that combines ideas of social justice and empowerment along with the knowledge and skills to understand individual and interpersonal distress and problems is a need of the hour. This postgraduate programme with a foundation in social work and an incremental training in perspectives and skills in mental health aims to fill this gap.
This programme equips students to work in various capacities at government and non-governmental settings.

DAVIE — Road construction on portions of State Road 7 and Florida`s Turnpike in the town may be causing problems for motorists, but one engineer said it`s all in the cause of avoiding worse problems later.
Mike Sherman, of Raymond Kaiser Engineers Inc., said construction done now will create alternate routes for north-south traffic that will be used later during the construction of Interstate 595.
One project involves widening the intersection of Griffin Road and State Road 7 and adding turn lanes. The two western corners are being widened now and the entire intersection is scheduled to be completed by August.
A half mile away, the turnpike bridge over Griffin Road and Orange Drive is being widened to six lanes. Work began in October 1984, said Pat McCann, project coordinator for the Florida Department of Transportation. Completion is expected by October of this year, he said.
But business owners and residents say the roadwork is making a bad problems worse. To avoid delays at the stop light, drivers are using corner businesses as shortcuts.
John Fico works at the Exxon gas station on the intersection`s northwest corner. Business has suffered, he said, as more motorists cut through the driveway to avoid the stoplight.
``I`d like to make a sign that says `Hey, use the road, not the gas station.` People come in and roll over the cord, ring the bell and then drive right on out again. Customers come in and complain about the construction. People would rather just keep driving until they find a place that`s more convenient to get into.``
The I-595 highway will link Port Everglades, Alligator Alley and Interstate 75. Raymond Kaiser Engineers Inc. is coordinating the construction for the DOT.

Poor Callie was sprayed by a skunk this weekend. The #*($& got her right in the face! Today she had a shower...here's the recipe:
Step 1:
Rinse with 2 cans v8 juice
Step 2:
Wash with-
1 bottle peroxide
1/2 box baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 oz. doggie shampoo
Step 3:
Rinse with the juice from 1/2 a lemon
After she got out of the shower and I blew her dry, I realized the majority of the smell was still right between her eyes (you could even see the oil still on her fur). I shampooed that a bit more and followed up with some more v8 juice. I wish I could say she smells great, but for now at least my eyes aren't watering from the smell and we have our girl back in the house.

Henry A. Morris doesn't look very legendary.
Whitish-gray dust covers him from construction boot to porkpie hat. Tight-lipped he peers through the thick dust to view his handiwork. The large stone block before him is massive and, except for a few newly carved lines, uninteresting.
Yet history and the last shreds of a long tradition reside here.
With chisel and air hammer Morris is carving a block of Indiana limestone - the same strong and durable limestone that went to build the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings in New York, that graces the inside of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, and helped rebuild Chicago after its great fire in 1871.
In times past the nation's best architects turned to this region of southern Indiana for their building stone - and for men like Morris, who could transform it into the architectural ornaments of the day. Half a century ago, 60 to 70 limestone carvers thrived in this region.
Only Morris is left.
The last of the limestone carvers shoves a 1/2-inch chisel in his air hammer and turns to his work. Like a mini-jackhammer, his chisel bites into the stone, sending limestone dust billowing into the chilly air. The motor's reverberations mix with a background cacophony of other pounding chisels, grinding gangsaws, and two overhead cranes that would welcome a little oil.
The sense of emptiness in this cavernous stone mill, however, is more deafening.
About a dozen men carry out various functions within the mill. Five of them are cutters - real-life versions of the blue-collar workers immortalized in the movie ''Breaking Away.'' They are responsible for slicing large chunks of stone into finished slabs and simple pieces for new buildings. In the 1920s perhaps as many as 5,000 employees worked the limestone in this region. Since then, however , the industry has been in a tailspin.
It is no exaggeration, for example, to call Morris the last of the region's limestone carvers. One other Indiana man is involved in the disappearing craft, but he lives in another part of the state. All the carvers here except Morris have retired. Only once in a while does he call on one of them to help out.
''There are some fellows at the university (who carve), but they come out and all they want to do is sculpting,'' he says. His work is not art but craft. ''They call us artisans.''
''This,'' he says, starting to outline a stone leaf, ''all comes from experience.''
The stone Morris is working on now is called a pilaster. It measures about 2 by 2 1/2 feet and sits upside down, because the overhanging leaves are easier to carve that way. With a slightly curved chisel, Morris begins to work his magic on the stone.
He scrapes away the excess stone around the leaf - first in one direction, then another, to make the surface smooth. The face of the leaf needs highlighting lines to heighten the effect. Eventually, he will bevel the sides of the leaf so that, like a pie pan on a table, the figure will look three-dimensional.
''You can tell it's been hand carved, because it stands out,'' Morris explains. Unfortunately, the method is so expensive that many architects do without intricate carving. These days, he adds, all his jobs are restorations of older buildings. His only clients are ''banks or churches. They're the only ones that can afford it.''
Morris doesn't remember right away the destination of the six capitals and two pilasters he is carving. In vain he flips through a small pocket notebook - itself in serious danger of falling apart - where he has written almost illegibly the names and requests of his clients. He will need a total of three months to complete them.
It is not surprising that a carving contract is so expensive - especially for a man who has to measure his working hours by the number of square inches he has carved. Morris allows one full day for each square foot of carving. And he earns about $20,000 a year from his craft.
The problem is that jobs can be few. Periodically during his 34-year career, Morris has had to lay down air hammer and chisel and take up some other line of work. In the early 1960s, he sold life insurance for 2 1/2 years. Later, he contracted to build houses. Sometimes, he cuts stone when there's no carving to be done.
When Morris leaves this craft for the last time, this region's carving tradition is almost certain to leave with him.
What has happened to carving here is nothing new. Technological advances, changes in style, and economic depression have combined over the years to squeeze out other industries that once thrived. But if there is a lesson to be learned in the limestone quarries and mills of southern Indiana, it is the virtue of adaptability.
Morris started working limestone in 1948 as a cutter.
''I could work with the tools and I knew the stone,'' he recalls. So, in 1955 , he became a carver - which required more expertise than a cutter. He earned 25 cents more an hour because of his new job.
''In the '50s there was a lot of work. . . . Each job would be a year or two.''
A postwar building boom was on. Churches and other public buildings, using limestone slabs as their exterior facing, used ornate designs to break up the massiveness of the stone.
Unfortunately for the carvers, architecture was taking a new twist. Mies van der Rohe and other architects were introducing the use of exterior glass walls. Instead of massive stone high-rises, the cityscape was to be planted with glass-enclosed skyscrapers that seemed to float above the ground. The International Style was born. The limestone industry, already hurting from the Great Depression, was heading into 30 years of eclipse.
The effect wasn't felt all at once. This, after all, was boom time for Indiana limestone, compared with the dearth of building in the '30s. But over the years quarries and mills in the region began to fail.
''When I started in the trade, there were 29 limestone mills [in Bloomington] ,'' Morris says. ''Now there are three.''
The industry's decline was especially acute for the carvers. The slabs of stone that the cutters fabricated could conceivably be adapted to the architectural styles of the day. But carved Corinthian capitals and pilasters - blocks of stone that sit atop columns - were tied to a style of architecture that was dying.
They call this tiny area of the world, which produces most of the country's building limestone, ''the Belt.'' That's the name used here, anyway. The result of a series of geological whims, occurring millions of years before the first mammals appeared on Earth, the Belt is a 50-mile gash of exposed limestone that stretches from Ellettsville, Ind., southeast to Salem.
The stone here is prized for its gray-white color, its strength, and its workability. Softer than granite or marble, it could be carved relatively easily - even before the early 1900s when mallets and hand-held chisels were the only tools.
Although the first building using Indiana limestone was constructed in 1819, it was not until the 1870s that attention spread beyond the state. The great Chicago fire, which left that city eager to rebuild with stone, brought a series of notable contracts. And promotional efforts by individuals and companies brought Indiana limestone to the attention of cities as far away as New York and Newport, R.I.
In the next half century, Indiana limestone was used to build thousands of public buildings - from the Empire State Building to the Tribune Towers in Chicago to the original MGM office building in Los Angeles. Intricate ornamentation was one of the architectural vogues - as evidenced by the Cotton Exchange Building in New Orleans, which in 1886 employed 140 cutters and carvers.
But even at the industry's peak in the 1920s, the seeds of decline were being sown. In retrospect, plenty of warning signals had flashed by the end of World War I. Other building materials, such as Portland cement, terra cotta, and brick were elbowing into limestone's traditional markets. Architects, too, were turning away from elaborate ornamentation and, thus, stone that was very easy to carve.
The limestone industry unwittingly encouraged these trends. Long contract struggles between the journeymen stone cutters' union and the cut-stone contractors in the various cities caused many delays. This, in turn, encouraged architects to experiment with the substitute materials. Then, too, limestone companies in the Belt were so eager to capture new contracts that they sold directly to builders and effectively undermined their best source of sales - the network of cut-stone contractors in large cities who had acted as middlemen between local builders and the Indiana mills.
''Indiana won the battle, but lost the war,'' explains William McDonald, executive director of the Indiana Limestone Institute. ''There used to be 17 [ milling] companies within spitting distance of where I'm sitting in the city of Bedford, Ind., and about 30 companies quarrying.'' Now there are eight.
From a peak of roughly 15 million cubic feet in 1929, McDonald estimates, building limestone shipments fell to about 2 million cubic feet in 1971-72. (These are guesses, he emphasizes, because the institute does not keep statistics.)
Now, however, there are signs the industry's tailspin is leveling off. This year McDonald estimates shipments at 1.5 to 1.9 million cubic feet - down, but not too much.
''It's a recovery for us,'' says John Tucker, president of the Indiana Limestone Company Inc., the largest in the Belt. ''There were times when we thought we could just keep getting smaller and smaller and smaller.''
What has happened within the past two or three years, explains Carl Condit, professor of history, art history, and urban affairs at Northwestern University, is a ''disillusionment with the International Style.'' And in its wake have come a crop of architects taking a new look at building stone.
The current spate of skyscraper construction in the United States - such as the AT&T Building in New York - confirms their renewed use. Granite currently is overshadowing limestone because of its wider variety of color and its better durability, says Alan Ritchie, project architect of the AT&T Building, which is clad in granite.
Still, limestone is capturing several notable contracts.
The 32-story American Electric Power Company building under construction in Columbus, Ohio, is almost entirely clad in four-inch-thick Indiana limestone. Since the city is largely built with limestone, ''we elected to go with the same stone,'' says James Kingsland, a partner in the New York architectural firm Abramovitz, Harris & Kingsland, which designed the building.
But if these signs point to a recovery of the Indiana limestone industry - something many experts say is too early to tell - there is no recovery in sight for the carvers. Architects have not gone back to the intricate ornamentation of yesteryear. The AT&T Building is an example of how architectural ornament has been transformed.
''We've taken a lot of those Greek traditional forms and we've simplified it, '' Ritchie says. ''We've trimmed it down and not overelaborated in the style I call high-classical detail.'' This is not only a question of style, he explains, but also expense. Most public buildings these days cannot afford the luxuries of hand-carving.
Three of Morris's ornate capitals are already finished. They lie among the hodgepodge of stacked limestone slabs - Roman ruins that somehow signal the end of an era.
The stone leaf is finished, too. Morris pauses a moment, then takes off his hat to mop the dust and sweat off his brow. His curly hair, hidden until now, looks surprisingly gray.
''I'd love to see it come back. I'd like to take that boy over there and make a carver out of him,'' Morris says, pointing to one of the younger men chiseling a simple shape nearby. But the work hasn't justified an apprentice for the past 25 years.
Finally, he returns to the unfinished pilaster to begin another layer of Corinthian leaves. His chisel hits the stone and sends more limestone dust into the chilly air. It floats upward and seems for a while to merge with the gray sky outside. Then, noiselessly, it begins its descent - either falling to the ground or finding a convenient resting place on a graying porkpie hat.

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) leads public research in innovative solar power technologies. Photovoltaic arrays, or PV for short, harness the sun's power and turn it into electricity. When the sun shines onto a solar panel, photons are absorbed by the cells in the panel, which creates an electric field across the layers. Photovoltaic arrays must be mounted on a stable, durable structure that tilts the PV array at a fixed angle determined by the local latitude. To obtain the highest annual energy output, modules in the northern hemisphere are pointed due south and inclined at an angle equal to the local latitude. Alternatively, automatic mechanisms may be installed to move panels to track the sun across the sky, which provides more energy and a higher return on investment (ROI). Inverters are used to convert the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar photovoltaic modules into alternating current (AC). Finally, large batteries allow for the storage of solar photovoltaic energy when bad weather blocks sunlight from reaching the photovoltaic panels.
Organic PV, or OPV, cells are composed of carbon-rich polymers and can be tailored to enhance a specific function of the cell, such as sensitivity to a certain type of light. This technology has the theoretical potential to provide electricity at a lower cost than silicon or thin-film technologies. Concentration PV, also known as CPV, focuses sunlight onto a solar cell by using a mirror or lens. By focusing sunlight onto a small area, less PV material is required. This technology uses mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto receivers that collect solar energy and convert it to heat, which can then be used to produce electricity.
