President's Scholarships Helping Students Stay in School, Earn Degrees, Oct. 1, 2008
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M., Oct. 10, 2008 – More than 300 golfers and several dozen sponsors gather every September at New Mexico Tech for the largest single-day fundraising golf tournament in the state.
Everyone enjoys a beautiful day on the golf course, great meals and good company. The winning teams (or best cheaters) go home with some prizes. The ultimate reward, however, is reserved for the New Mexico Tech students who received Presidential Tuition Assistance scholarships.
This fall, more than two dozen college students – many of whom might not have been able to afford tuition – will continue their studies thanks to the generosity of tournament donors and sponsors.
New Mexico Tech President Dr. Daniel H. López started the fundraising event 14 years ago when he first took the reins of the university in Socorro.
"Retention will always be an important issue for science and engineering schools," López said. "This is just one weapon in our arsenal to help keep students in school and help them earn their degrees. A variety of issues influence a student's decisions, and finances often are crucial."
The recipients include a few high school students taking college classes, a few non-traditional students and an occasional graduate student.
The bulk of the recipients, however, are fifth-year (and beyond) seniors who have run out of scholarships and full-time undergraduates who don't have the resources to put themselves through college.
Peter Empey, a fifth-year senior in chemical engineering, doesn't have to worry about getting a part-time job this semester.
Life intruded on his college plans. Over the past year, Empey got married and welcomed his first child.
"The family made it not so urgent to get out of here," he said. "I've reshuffled my priorities."
Empey was not eligible to keep his other scholarships for a fifth year of college – a situation in which more than 70 percent of Tech students find themselves.
"This President's Scholarship allows me to spend my free hours studying and with my family," he said. "As opposed to working another job to pay my bills and tuition."
Empey only needs assistance for one semester. He'll finish in December, then hopes to begin his career working at a research facility.
Winston Benally, another fifth-year senior, likely wouldn't be in school this fall without the President's scholarship.
"Last year was kind of difficult and my finances got really difficult this semester," he said. "I really wanted to finish my course work, but I was running overboard on my budget."
Benally has already 145 credit hours and only needs a few classes to earn his degree. However, as he got closer to finishing, his dwindling financial resources forced him to cut his credit hours each semester.
"I was running out of options," he said. "The President's Scholarship showed me that someone really does care in Brown Hall and that they want you to get through school and be successful. That was a big encouragement for me."
Benally works at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and expects to earn his degree in electrical engineering this year.
A native of Crystal, N.M., north of Gallup on the Navajo Reservation, he attended St. Michael's High School in Arizona.
"I hope to get a job and help my family because I'm sure they're having a tough time too," Benally said. "They've been supporting me all the way through college."
Breanne Dunaway is a sophomore in petroleum engineering – and an A student. A native of rural Nebraska, she works part-time on campus and is carrying 16 credit hours this fall.
"This scholarship is helping me with tuition and expenses so I don't have to work at my job as much," she said. "I haven't had to take out a loan for school this year, so I don't have to worry about paying off as many loans when I get out of school."

The signing of Mark Appel to the richest contract the team has ever doled out to a draft pick could end up being one of the signature moves in Astros' history.
If things go as planned, the No. 1 overall pick will be pitching for his hometown team when the Astros move from the bottom half of their division to the top. He'll be at the top of the rotation, because he has top-of-the-rotation stuff and a top-of-the-rotation mentality.
An impressive young man – humble, intelligent, spiritual – Appel is the type of player an organization can build around. The type of player an organization can count on. That is why the Astros made him the $6-million man with a signing bonus north of that.
Bud Norris, on the other hand, is something else. I'm not saying he is the polar opposite of Appel, just different.
As my grandmother Mama Mary, who'll be 96 on Friday, would say, with her head shaking from side to side, "That boy's somethin' …

As health officials continue to investigate an outbreak of salmonella poisoning linked to a peanut processing plant, we'll take a look at the FDA and its operations. President Obama has yet to appoint someone to oversee the agency -- and some observers have suggested that the time may be ripe to split the agency, separating the 'food part of the FDA from the 'drugs' part.
Does the agency have the tools, staff, and funding it needs to fulfill its duties? Is it time for an overhaul of the agency?

DOGTV Is a TV Channel for Dogs Because Dogs Love TV, Right? Right?
A new TV station for dogs is about to be unleashed,
DirecTV will debut DOGTV, beginning August 1. For a mere $4.99 per month, owners can subscribe to the channel, which is designed to keep pets busy while their masters are not home.
DOGTV CEO Gilad Neumann (how'd he get that job?) said it's a winning idea:
Dogs spend many hours alone at home every day. As we work harder and both household members usually go out to work, dogs spend a lot more time at home. They're very lonely, they're bored, they suffer from separation anxiety often and people look for solutions."
The lineup will be comprised of sounds and images designed to get the animals interested (which means fire hydrants and bones should score amazing ratings). It falls into line with previous suggestions that owners keep a radio or a TV set are kept on so dogs don't feel lonely when left by themselves.
We have a feeling the channel could be a hit, especially if the pooches get comfy in a Bark-a-lounger.

2018 Kia Venga Review, specs and Release date
The 2018 Kia Venga is fuel efficient, but lacks hardware that others use to push it to the top of its class. The 2018 Kia Venga builds upon the success of its ancestors with expressive styling, a surprisingly roomy cabin, plenty of advanced safety features and comfortable, supportive seats.
Each vehicle typically comes in multiple versions that are fundamentally similar. The ratings in this review are based on our full test of the 2018 Kia Venga. Performance has never been a strong suit for the 2018 Kia Venga, and it still isn't, especially with the current crop of compact cars.
Toyota offers two different versions of the 2018 Kia Venga, each with its own story to tell. Similarly, the 2018 Kia Venga range scores in the 30 mpg combined neighborhood, which is on the high side for compact cars but not quite class leading.
It's not bad inside, but the 2018 Kia Venga somehow manages to be awkward without being interesting outside.

The 74th annual Nykerk Cup competition at Hope College has been rescheduled to Friday, Nov. 14, at 7 p.m. at Central Wesleyan Church.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
The Nykerk Cup competition is a major annual fall tradition at Hope that features members of the freshman and sophomore classes competing in song, plays and orations.
The event was originally scheduled to be held on Saturday, Nov. 8, in conjunction with the college's Parents' Weekend, but was postponed due to the noro-like virus that prompted the college to be shut down from the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 7, through the early morning of Wednesday, Nov. 12. The competition is being held at Central Wesleyan Church because the traditional Civic Center venue was unavailable for rescheduling on dates that fit with the college calendar.
The competition, first held on March 16, 1936, is named in honor of the originator of the program, John Nykerk, a professor, college dean and founder of the Hope College department of music. The event is continuously staged before a large audience, and features more than 200 members of the freshman and sophomore classes. The participating classes this year are the freshman Class of '12 and the sophomore Class of '11.
The freshman song will be "Spoonful of Sugar," from "Mary Poppins." The coaches are Jena Iverson of Bloomington, Minn. (motions coach), and Stefanie Brenner of Eau Claire (directing coach). The freshman-song morale coaches are Samuel Pettigrew of Fox River Grove, Ill., and Stephen Hobson of Flushing.
The freshman play will be "The Little Rascals," written and coached by BethAnn Tieche of St. Charles, Ill., and Holly Johnson of Zeeland. Morale coaches for the freshman play section are Zachary Anderson of Sparta, Orland Dami of Grayling and Michael Irvin of Libertyville, Ill.
The freshman orator is Jordan Walters of Austin, Texas, speaking on the theme "Reaching Beyond." Her coaches are Robin Baker of Hamilton Heights, Ind., and Nicole Potter of Ada.
The sophomore song will be "Hairspray." The coaches are Meghan Wahl of Defiance, Ohio (motions coach), and Jennifer Fait of San Diego, Calif. (directing coach). The sophomore-song morale coaches are Christopher M. Sikkema of Rochester, Minn., Benjamin Oegema of Lawton and Graham Carlson of LaGrange, Ill.
The sophomore play is "The Office: From Scranton to Holland," written and coached by Allison Fisher of Wilmington, Ill., and Shanna Mack of Allegan. Morale coaches are Daniel Gruben of Wheaton, Ill., Matthew Minkus of Zeeland and Ricky Kelley of Burton.
The sophomore orator is Alexa Westley of Kalamazoo, who will be speaking on the theme "Reaching Beyond." Her coaches are Ayannah Abiade of Spring Hill, Tenn., and Barbra Rubio of Holland.
The members of the Nykerk executive committee this year are Lisa Borton of Hudson, general chair; Andi Springett of Bangor, chair-elect; Kimberly Cook of Clarkston, secretary; Kariayne Cozzie of Evergreen Park, Ill., senior publicity; Sara Nielson of St. Louis, Mo., junior publicity; Anna Gagliardi of Midland, senior treasurer; Allyson Velderman of Hamilton, junior treasurer; Torey Allen of Williamston, senior production; and Bethany Wagner of North Muskegon, junior production.
Entrances A and I will be used for the event, and the doors will open at 6 p.m. Central Wesleyan Church is located at 446 W. 40th St., near the intersection of 40th Street and Ottawa Avenue.

London, UK, 1997: I'm an Applied Computing student at Middlesex University, mainly on the course for the third year module on computer graphics, which involves programming on the Sony PlayStation. One of my fellow students introduces me to MUDs, and after a while playing, I become bored of interacting in someone else's world and decide I want to be a "Wizard" on a MUD of my own. Realising that the Solaris machines at the University do a much better job of hosting this kind of thing than the Windows machine and the Atari ST I have, and that if I were to run such a system on those machines I may find myself in pretty hot water, I set off in search of a way to install UNIX for free.
Back then, freedom of use was not top of my list of priorities – free of charge was all that mattered. I would have been quite willing to pirate software to achieve my ends, but I stumbled upon NetBSD, which was available for download as a series of approximately 25 floppy disk images, seemingly free of charge, and seemed to do what I needed it to do. Unfortunately, floppy disks were notoriously unreliable, and somewhere in the large set of media, something got corrupted and the whole installation effort came grinding to a halt. So I raided my savings and bought a 4x CDROM drive and a copy of Slackware Linux Unleashed, Third Edition, complete with an installation CD for Slackware 3.1, which still sits on my bookshelf today. And so my adventure with Linux and Free Software began.
The MUD never took off. I finished my degree and in 1999, I started working. My first job was as a systems administrator and developer. As well as looking after the office Novell Network (which we later migrated to an NT4 domain), I was tasked with making sure we got accurate sales figures from our tills. The software the company had purchased was not very robust, and it was not uncommon for the tills to crash, so I started hacking small programs together using Cygwin and GCC to recover the corrupted data files. Free Software made this possible, but I was on my own – I was the only one actually writing code, and actually using and promoting Free Software.
Since then I've had three other jobs. I have been fortunate to work on some really fun, interesting and exciting projects with some exceptionally smart, talented people. But somehow, something was missing.
In the roughly 12 years I've been working in the IT industry, I've used a lot of Free Software. A LOT. GCC, Apache, Tomcat, Eclipse, JBoss, various Linux distributions, a myriad of GNU software, Python, PHP, MySQL, Firefox, Thunderbird… I could go on and on, but my point is simple – my working life would have been much more difficult had it not been for the availability of Free Software. And yet, to the best of my knowledge, none of the companies I ever worked for, who made such extensive use of Free Software to achieve their ends, ever contributed anything back to the projects upon which their profits were built.
As time went on, this increasingly irked me, and I started to look for ways in which I could individually give something back. Fortunately, around the same time, someone else was doing the same. One Mark Shuttleworth, who had had some success with a company selling SSL certificates and sold that company, and now wanted to give something back to the community that had enabled that success. He created the Ubuntu project, which ended up having quite a community following and a certain ethos that made it quite easy to contribute.
I contributed. Not much, but little bits here and there, often via the Ubuntu UK LoCo, because it was now OK just to do a little bit here and there. I continued with my day jobs, I did what I could in my spare time, but always vowing that if the opportunity arose for me to be paid to work of Free Software, especially with Canonical, who seemed to be taking things forward and understanding the people who made this stuff happen, I'd take it.
Fast forward to August 23rd 2010, six months ago. The opportunity arose, I took it, and since then I've been living the dream. I found it hard to believe that the way I imagined Canonical to be, looking from the outside, could possibly bear any resemblance to what actually goes on inside. But I'm pleased to be able to say, so far at least, it's everything I hoped it would be and more.
Everywhere I look, there are smart, dedicated, ambitious people doing what they enjoy. People are actively encouraged to participate in discussions and empowered to bring about change. Things move quickly. Hackers are allowed to be hackers, and valued for it, instead of being rail roaded into becoming project managers (although the path is there to be taken by those who want it). Collaboration is just part of a standard day's work, not some amazing special thing that needs to be highlighted, although notable examples are praised. We actually have productive, frank, grown-up conversations about what we can improve and how, without resorting to name-calling.
On Day One, I said "I feel like I'm mingling among rock stars at present!" and six months on, I still do. The difference is that I'm now starting to feel like one of them. It's amazing what being around such brilliant people every day can do.

Recalculating costs based on batch size is simple to do.
Cary, NC (PRWEB) July 16, 2013
Many of InstantGMP's customers are making various products at different manufacturing batch sizes where they need to figure out how much to charge for their private label or contract manufacturing work. The staff at InstantGMP worked with the formulation development experts at PharmaDirections to design a Cost and Pricing Model that can be used for dietary supplement or pharmaceutical contract manufacturing. The model is included in the electronic batch records of the InstantGMP™ MES manufacturing execution system.
There are several examples of the Cost and Pricing Models in the Master Manufacturing Formulas section of the InstantGMP Resource Center. Here you can find commercial scale master formulas for common dietary supplement products such as Calcium Tablets, Chewable Vitamin C Tablets and Vitamin B Complex Tablets.
The Cost and Pricing Model makes it easy to update formulations and to quickly get revised estimates of manufacturing costs and of prices to charge to customers. It allows you to change ingredients or raw materials and instantly get updated costs and pricing. It lets you compare costs and pricing at different facilities or with different manufacturing processes and then calculate costs and pricing at any scale of production. Changing the batch size will calculate updated amounts for the Bill of Materials and will estimate new costs and prices.
About PharmaDirections:
PharmaDirections, Inc. is a pharmaceutical project management and consulting group focused on CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing and Controls), formulation development, preclinical and regulatory affairs. They use a mix of technical expertise, software and proprietary tools, such as GastroPlus, when inventing new intellectual property for clients or developing formulations that solve difficult problems.
About InstantGMP™
InstantGMP™ develops web-based manufacturing software that meets GMP and 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. The software systems were built using a quality by design approach where the standard operating procedures were written simultaneously with the program. The software streamlines every step of the manufacturing process to produce products with electronic batch records. InstantGMP™ MES is a manufacturing execution system with electronic batch records and InstantGMP-Lite™ EBR is an electronic batch record software system.

I'm glad to announce that EclipseFP 2.2.0 has been released. EclipseFP is a set of Eclipse plugins for Haskell development.
The minor version increase is justified by the replacement of the Scion library for the backend by the BuildWrapper executable. I appreciate that lots of work went and is still going into Scion, but I decided that building my own Haskell backend was better for EclipseFP. It calls cabal directly for building, which allows EclipseFP to support things like new style component dependencies (the executable in a project depends on its own library), c files (now my HJVM project, which call Java from Haskell can build, and even report errors in the C code), etc. Note the the haskell code is not bundled with EclipseFP anymore but gets downloaded and installed from Hackage.
This version also comes with a new view, allowing the installation of cabal packages from Hackage. There are also bug fixes and small enhancements all round.
To install, just use the built-in Eclipse install/update functionality. The update site URL is http://eclipsefp.sourceforge.net/updates. The release notes can be found here.
Happy Haskell Hacking with EclipseFP!

Well, briefly put, it is where you found the information. You note it down so that someone else can go to the place you mentioned, see what you found, and match it with their own documentation. You note it down so that, later, you can see several seemingly-conflicting pieces of information and make a judgment call as to which is more likely to be real/true. For example:
Example A: John Smith is baptised on 1 January 1795, source - a book somebody wrote in 1995 about the SMITH name, mentioning John in passing
Example B: John Smith is baptised on 2 February 1790, source - church baptismal register of 1790
Now, which would be more confidence-inspiring to you? The book, written two hundred years after the fact, which only mentions him in passing? Or the official baptismal register, written at the time, probably by the man who actually got his fingers wet at the font and had to sharpen his quill in order to write? The very worst thing that could happen is that you look at your computer program, where it just says 'John SMITH, bap 3 June 1797' (with no source given) - and you wonder where on earth you found THAT information. (And, of course, you don't throw away the reference to the book. You put it in your notes, in case you want to refer to the book later. You just don't necessarily use it as the one-and-only source.)
And, believe me, it is so much easier to cite your sources right from the word 'go', rather than realising when you have been researching for ten years that you now have to remember what you were doing ten years ago and write several thousand sources...

When you are having vaginal or anal sex with a girl from behind and she asks you three times to wear a condom. You then succumb to her request despite the fact that you are not a sailor. Just before you are about to finish you remove the condom with your throwing hand and drop it over your right shoulder (like in football) into your left hand behind your back before you finish raw dog. When she rolls over you pretend to take the condom off and throw it away to assure her that you were wearing one.
So Bro: "She wouldn't let me bang her without a condom"

ST. MARY'S CITY, MD - The York College men's swim team concluded their 2007-08 campaign with a second place finish at the Capital Athletic Conference championships at St. Mary's College in St. Mary's City, MD. The Spartans accumulated 606 points as they were runner-up to perennial champion Mary Washington. The Eagles finished the championships with 831.5 points. York finished 129 points ahead of Salisbury University as the Sea Gulls finished third in the seven team field. Marymount (431) finished fourth followed by St. Mary's (329.5), Gallaudet, and Hood.
Spartan senior Steven Fulcher (Columbia, Md./Calvert Hall) captured the highest honor at the meet as he earned the 2008 CAC Male Swimmer-of-the-Year. At the championships, Fulcher earned two individual wins (50 free and 100 backstroke), an individual second (200 backstroke) and was a member of three relay wins. He is the first swimmer in school history to earn the conference swimmer of the year award.
The Sunday finals began for the Spartans with a third place finish from sophomore Stephen Doemland (Etters, Pa./Red Land) in the 1650 free. Doemland, who had a very solid championship weekend, touched the wall in a school-record time of 17:13.08.
Fulcher picked up a second place finish in the 200 backstroke as he traversed the pool in a school-record time of 1:55.48. Teammate AJ Bean (Ijamsville, Md./Urbana) placed sixth in the race as he notched a time of 2:01.01.
The green and white was well represented in the 100 free as Matt Jennings (Fairfax, Va./Robinson) finished third and Garrett Higgins (Yardley, Pa./Pennsbury) finished eighth. Jennings' time was 47.80 while Higgins notched a time of 50.27.
Freshman Steven Tobin (Estell Manor, N.J./Holy Spirit) finished fourth in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:16.78.
Sophomore Clark Arnold (York, Pa./Northeastern) and Bean earned top tens in the 200 fly. Arnold finished fifth with a school-record time of 2:01.14 while Bean placed ninth, recording a time of 2:03.18.
The 400 freestyle relay team of Jennings, Ben Hilt (Mt. Joy, Pa./Hempfield), Michael Murphy (Farmingdale, N.J./Colts Neck), and Fulcher closed out the championships in grand style with a win in the race. The foursome combined to post a time of 3:11.45.
The Spartans return a bulk of their team next year but will lose Fulcher as he is the lone senior they will lose to graduation. The Spartans finished the dual meet season with a mark of 9-2. During Fulcher's four years in the Spartan pool, York finished with a dual meet mark of 34-5 and a pair of CAC runner-up finishes.

Matthew Santoni, The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
A Maryland man is running across the nation to raise awareness of the importance of exercise for people with diabetes, and he's offering himself as living proof of the difference it can make.Doug Masiuk, 38, of Annapolis was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 3 and managed his condition for about 30 years with a carefully chosen diet and insulin. He took up running about five years ago, and he has noticed a major decline in his need for insulin injections to regulate his blood sugar levels. "If I wanted to make it to 80 years old, I realized I'd have to make exercise a bigger part of my life," Masiuk said. "The more you run, the less insulin you need. ... With the volume I am running, I'm on a quarter of the insulin I'd normally require to stay healthy." Since May, Masiuk has been running from San Francisco to New York in an effort to be the first diabetic among the hundreds who have jogged from coast to coast. He's running legs of 15 to 30 miles per day and stopping at schools, hospitals, hotels, diners and roadsides across America to share his story and hear other people's experience with the disease. "Everybody knows someone with diabetes," Musiak said. This weekend, Musiak met with students from Plum High School, including several diabetics, who were amazed that someone with their condition could accomplish such a feat. Musiak plans to head through Sewickley and Brighton Heights on Monday, cut through the North Hills toward Sharpsburg and Harmar, then speak to students in the Avonworth School District. He plans to end his journey on Dec. 23 at Coney Island in New York City. Masiuk has a blog and updates on his journey at 1run.org. "When my son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 11, I was pretty devastated," said Shelly Cosmides, 52, who hosted Masiuk on Sunday evening in her home in Moon. "My sister has had it for 40 years, and I've seen what it's done to her health. ... I can't imagine having type 1 diabetes and running like that."

CASHING OUT: Joaquin Phoenix mopes around with Gwyneth Paltrow in 'Two Lovers.'
Boy Meets Girls
'Two Lovers' is a melodrama with little drama
By Gretchen Giles
FAMOUS MOMMY Gwyneth Paltrow has famously stated that now that the kids are here, she is restricting her career to just one movie a year. Curious, then, that Two Lovers would have been her choice for 2008. Paltrow's role is largely concerned with flipping her hair about, and while her long blonde locks certainly have their own dramatic tension (Will her part hold in the wind? Do her tresses look better in a ponytail or under a wool hat?), her Michelle is an uninspired cipher, a golddigger with a heart of gold who is trying to separate her married lover from his wife. What attracts Leonard (Joaquin Phoenix) to Michelle is that she is such an unabashed goy. "What's that?" she asks, wandering his parent's stifling apartment. Well shucks, Michelle, it's a dreidel, and they made it out of clay.For his part, Phoenix has announced that Two Lovers will be his last film before he embarks upon what promises to be an unusual hip-hop career, and he does as best he can with director and co-writer and co-producer James Gray's mawkish work. Far better he had ended it with Johnny Cash. Part Brighton Beach Memoirs without the laughs—indeed, part Annie Hall without the laughs—Two Lovers follows Leonard first into the seawater muck off the Brighton Beach pier where he throws himself in the film's establishing shots.
From there, the cinematography remains stubbornly stained an unpleasant green, an unimaginative metaphor expressing poor Leonard's moldy world. Leonard has just come home to live again with his parents, the understated mother-smotherer (Isabella Rossellini) and her worried husband (Moni Moshonov). Mom and Dad own a dry cleaning shop where Leonard works and are in negotiations to sell the business to another family, the Cohens, who have a beautiful daughter, Sandra (Vinessa Shaw), who is inexplicably drawn to Leonard. Leonard has suffered some terrible time and is still recovering. The boy is "sensitive" and clearly suicidal. Yet Sandra nonetheless yearns for him. Meanwhile, Michelle, "trouble" stamped all over her lovely frame, moves in upstairs. She and Leonard have a not-so-cute meet, and she adopts him as a needy brother. He, of course, lusts after all of her WASPy fabulousness. As Leonard's family and the Cohens get closer to closing the deal, so does Sandra try to get closer to Leonard. She, of course, claustrophobically represents family, obligation, books and PBS. Leonard resists until finally taking her in his grimy boy's bed after falling sway to her charms while his stern rabbinical ancestors scowl down from the walls. That he will betray her terribly is as obvious as a dreidel.
Phoenix's job here is to make Leonard's boy-man's plight shine bright to the audience. He shambles, he mutters, he takes listless photos. It's not Phoenix's fault that James Gray chose the fatal triangulation of writer-director-producer; such myopic immersion always results off-kilter, and Leonard is not a sympathetic character for most over age 16. Rather, "Clean up your room!" "Man up!" "Take your meds and shut up about it!" reverberated around this viewer's brain as Leonard tries and fails to go gentile into that good night.
TWO LOVERS (R; 110 min.), directed by James Gray, written by Gray and Ric Menello, photographed by Joaquin Baca-Asay and starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joaquin Phoenix, opens Feb. 27 at Camera 7 in San Jose and the Aquarius in Palo Alto.

Major Improvements Coming to I-5 in Stockton - Including City's First Carpool Lanes
STOCKTON– Caltrans today announced major improvements will be made to Stockton's highways, including construction of the city's first carpool lanes and installation of reinforced concrete on all six lanes of I-5 to give motorists a smoother, safer ride to last for decades.
"This project will encourage commuters to carpool and use transit, which will help reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty. "New reinforced concrete along Interstate 5 will also give motorists a smoother and safer ride to last for decades."
The new car pool lanes will be installed on an eight-mile section of Interstate 5 between Charter Way/Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Hammer Lane. In addition to 16 miles of new carpool lanes (eight miles in each direction), Caltrans will completely reconstruct all six lanes of I-5 with reinforced concrete pavement on a four-mile section between Country Club Boulevard and Hammer Lane. The new pavement is expected to last 40 years and save taxpayers money because of lower maintenance costs.
Caltrans will also add new, specialized lanes called auxiliary lanes between Hammer Lane and March Lane. An auxiliary lane – the extra lane constructed between interchanges – makes it easier and safer for drivers to get on and off a highway and also helps reduce traffic congestion. Soundwalls will be built to reduce noise near the freeway.
The $122 million Interstate 5 North Stockton Improvement Project received $42 million in funding from Proposition 1B, a $19.9 billion transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, the state has allocated more than $9 billion in Proposition 1B funds.
The average daily traffic volume along I-5 in Stockton can surpass 130,000 vehicles.
The project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2015.

Umm... how is dunking cheap by anymeans (even for a guy that doesn't even have to jump to dunk a ball)?
I compare dunking for a big guy to a guy flopping around on defense... you really dont need a whole lot of skill. Kenny George is the most untalented player in college basketball. All he does is dunk because he is tall. I guarantee you that if the rim was raised, he would not be able to dunk, and his career would be done.

By: Don Davis, Forum News Service
ST. PAUL – Minnesota lawmakers are on the verge of considering a bill that would help prevent oil train disasters and respond better if they occur, but the bill includes nothing about pipeline safety.
That does not set well with Gov. Mark Dayton and House Transportation Finance Chairman Frank Hornstein, D-Minneapolis.
In response to a Forum News Service question, Dayton said Wednesday that he told legislative leaders he wants pipeline safety provisions included in the bill.
Later, he followed up by sending legislative leaders and budget negotiators a strongly worded letter asking that they reconsider leaving pipelines out.
"I am deeply concerned that your conference committee has rejected attempts to include pipelines in the hazardous materials disaster preparedness and response sections of the transportation article," Dayton wrote. "I urge conferees to revisit the issue and adopt more stringent requirements, including provisions for responding to spills within a specified time period, submitting environmental response plans, conducting preparedness drills and paying their fair share of the overall program's costs."
Hornstein said that such a letter could sway negotiators' opinions on the issue.
Related: Enbridge Energy official talkas about oil boom's impact on Minnesota
Dayton pointed out that 86 pipelines operate in Minnesota and Enbridge proposes to expand use of one northern Minnesota pipeline and build a new one.
The pipelines carry a variety of materials, including volatile North Dakota crude oil.
"Most Minnesotans will receive little, if any, direct benefit from the transport of these materials across our state," Dayton said. "At the very least, their health and safety, the health and safety of their communities and the quality of their surrounding natural resources should be protected to the greatest extent possible. And they should not have to pay for this protection with their own tax dollars."
Money to fund the oil safety bill would come from an increase in existing railroad assessment and from general tax dollars.
Railroad safety provisions to provide $8.26 million over the next three years are contained in an overall budget bill that House and Senate negotiators are struggling to finish.
Several explosive derailments have grabbed attention recently. The governor and Hornstein said the rail provisions are good first steps to dealing with derailments.
"We fell short on pipelines," Hornstein said.
Hornstein said that Minnesota pipelines have spilled 18,000 gallons of oil since the early 1990s. "We have a record of spills."
A House-passed bill contained pipeline safety provisions, but the Senate measure did not.
"We believe the House taking a reasonable approach to a very important topic," said George Esbensen, legislative chairman of the Minnesota State Fire Chiefs Association.
Esbensen said that 900,000 people live near existing oil pipelines.
"Leaving out these transport routes places a lot of people in potential jeopardy, and we think the oil and pipeline companies have a civic duty to help protect the people in these areas," he said. "We hope that at the end of negotiations, the stronger House provisions will prevail on this issue."
Among items in Hornstein's bill was one to require pipelines to begin cleaning up a spill within eight hours.
The bill contains $2 million to improve highway crossings along oil train routes, mostly from the Moorhead area to the Twin Cities, the route taken by most oil trains.
Among the other beneficiaries of the funds would be first responders, such as fire departments, on oil train routes. First responders would receive state-funded training and equipment.
The bill provides funding to boost the number of state rail inspectors from one to three or four.
Whatever the outcome of remaining talks this year, Hornstein said, the oil transportation issue will be in front of lawmakers again.
"This will be an issue that will be discussed … certainly next year and for years to come," he said, in light of booming western North Dakota oil production. "There is much more we can do."

We writers are a needy bunch.
Perhaps because the only way we can measure success is by the approval of others.
The act of writing is often fulfilling, but by its very nature self-indulgent. And after spending time in our own heads, we need others to validate our efforts because we can't objectively judge them ourselves.
Success in this business requires acceptance from agents, editors, and readers. From the first two, we seek this acceptance by submitting, rewriting, and editing manuscripts, and all too often we get rejection letters for our efforts.
As for readers, we naturally want to reach as many as possible, and get as many of those to like us as possible. But because reading, like writing, takes place in a person's head, there often isn't any indication of how much acceptance we're actually receiving.
So we seek it out. We Google our own names, and check our Amazon rank and reviews, and track our website hits, and count our blog comments, and obsess over royalty statements, and accumulate MySpace friends, and hope that all of this will somehow make us less neurotic and more confident.
But it doesn't make us more confident. It makes us ashamed. We wonder why more people don't like us, at the same time despising why we consistently seek out their acceptance, and hating ourselves for doing so in the first place.
This blog is not going to show you how to be less needy. If you're a writer, that's impossible.
But it is going to tell you something all writers need to know.
It's okay to be needy.
So you can stop feeling bad that you crave approval. You can stop thinking you obsess too much over your career. You can stop worrying that you're some lone freak, feeling small and weak while everyone around you overflows with confidence.
Everyone picks their nose. Everyone masturbates. And all writers are needy.
Neediness is wired into the artistic temperament. Not only does it make us strive to succeed and improve, but once you truly stop caring about what other people think you become both insufferable and a lazy writer.
So go ahead. Embrace being needy. Seek out the approval of others, and when you find it, enjoy it.
And when instead of approval you find scorn, envy, bitterness, and hateful attacks, remember that they're only opinions---opinions that come from whiny, unhappy, nose-picking morons who masturbate waaaaaay too much.
Now I encourage you to leave a comment here, and then forgive yourself when you check back 17 times today to see if anyone responded to you.

And lastly, being in the credit net world, the privacy associated with it - the security that Experian as an organization has is probably the third thing that we are very comfortable with."

"What I value most is each challenge that I've faced I have always been able to call my rep and she's able to find a solution to what I'm looking for. So it may not be what I was originally looking for, but in the end it ends up being the best solution."

"It's really obvious that the reps like to build a relationship with us and so they go out of their way to answer questions and get us information in a very timely manner which is very important these days. So I think that's what I value most."

Kris has blogged on this before in a few places. His initial entry on this, back in January, referred to raptor files and extensions. The blog entry is still accurate, just that file names have changed, which is why I thought I'd update this manual step for SQL Developer 1.0. Kris goes on later to talk about an extension that he put on SourceForge that "enables support for read only XMLTypes and adds export to excel in native excel in the worksheet". He updated this extension (blog entry 8th March) to support highlighting some text and then adding it to the snippets file through the extension.So this entry is not about adding an extension, but creating a snippets file and hooking that into your SQL Developer install. I'll break this down into steps.
I'm using SQL Developer 1.0
Step 1. Create a directory for your snippets. I have created a "mysnippets" directory. I have chosen to keep it with my product installation, but there is no reason why you can't keep this file centrally on a separate file server, you just need to direct SQL Developer to where you have placed it.
Step 2. Create a snippets.xml file. If you have a favorite XML editor, use that. I used Textpad!
Step 3. Add the snippet code.
The XML is pretty straight forward. Here is a skeleton of code:
I know, Textpad does not highlight code like that! I used JDeveloper's XML editor, it uses code highlighting and so it's easier to see the structure.
Here is an example of a small snippet file. Once again, I used JDeveloper's XML editor, for the code highlighting. Notice within one Category, i.e.XML tag
The piece of code between the CDATA [] is what is dragged onto the worksheet. Below is that same piece of code to cut and paste into Textpad:
<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'UTF-8'?>So now you have the snippets.xml file. The last step is to tell SQL Developer about it.
<group category="Sue's Repeated Queries" language="PLSQL">
<snippet name="ALLEmployees"
description="This is just selecting columns from EMPLOYEES">
<![CDATA[SELECT employee_id, first_name, last_name, email,
phone_number,hire_date, job_id, salary,
commission_pct, manager_id, department_id, last_name_id
FROM hr.employees;]]>
<snippet name="Sue's Locations Countries Regions Join"
description="This does the inner join">
<![CDATA[SELECT COUNT(locations.city) "Number of Cities",
regions.region_name regions
FROM(locations INNER JOIN countries USING(country_id))
INNER JOIN regions USING(region_id)
GROUP BY regions.region_name ORDER BY 1;]]>
<group category="More Character Functions" language="PLSQL">
<snippet name="REPLACE"
description="REPLACE lets you substitute one string
for another as well as to remove character strings.">
Step 4. Update the sqldeveloper.conf file. You'll find this in the sqldeveloper/jdev/bin directory.
Once again, using Texpad to edit the sqldeveloper.conf file, add the line of code below to point to your snippets file.
AddVMOption -Draptor.user.snippets=../../mysnippets/snippets.xmlIt's important to note that the path depends on where you have the file. You can put the full path here. Note too that any path separators must be # UNIX style forward slashes '/', even on Windows.
Step 5. Test it!

Need a launch?
1. Place board so you can easily get it on your way to
the water.
2. Pick up your own kite
Watching out that the sand you put on it doesn't blow into
someone's eyes. Better to gently grasp the canopy and let
the sand fall off the front rather than flipping the kite with
all the sand still on it.
3. Clean off the sand if applicable (ever heard of de-icing?)
4. Straighten your bridals if you have any.
5. Signal for some help.
But not someone who is in the middle of attaching their lines.
6. Give Launcher your clean kite and exchange greeting.
7. Quickly move to your bar.
8. Quickly move to correct position so Launcher doesn't need to move.
-if space allows.
9. Tension lines and check for proper attachment and absence of tangles.
Check that bar is parallel to kite tips.
Launcher please be vigilant as well.
10. Signal for launch: arm/thumb up
11. Launcher make sure the is canopy is tight.
12. Launcher wait utill airspace is clear and release
13. Rider thank Launcher. Launcher wish rider a fun session.

As most other Nvidia AIB partners, EVGA also launched a couple of new graphics cards based on the Nvidia Geforce GTX 760 design. To be precise, EVGA actually launched and announced a total of eight different cards, three with ACX cooler and five with the standard blower-style cooler.
The ACX cooled lineup will include the Geforce GTX w/ ACX cooling, GTX 760 Superclocked w/ ACX cooling and the GTX 760 4GB FTW w/ ACX cooling that will launch at a later date. The blower style cooled cards include two standard GTX 760 cards with reference and EVGA blower coolers, GTX 760 4GB one as well as FTW and Superclocked graphics cards.
While most of them are left at reference 980MHz base and 1033MHz Boost GPU clocks as well as 6008MHz for 2GB or 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface, the Superclocked and the FTW version feature a decent factory overclock. The Superclocked version works at 1072MHz base and 1137MHz Boost GPU clocks while memory was left at reference 6008MHz. The FTW version on the other hand will be available with 4GB of memory and works at 1085MHz base and 1150MHz Boost GPU clocks.

SOCORRO, N.M. March 31, 2003 -- The New Mexico Tech Physics Club recently was awarded a prestigious Blake Lilly Prize for 2002-2003 by the national office of the Society for Physics Students (SPS), becoming one of only three SPS chapters nationwide chosen to receive this year's awards.
The annual awards recognize SPS chapters throughout the nation that have made "outstanding contributions in physics outreach" and have demonstrated "genuine efforts to positively influence the attitudes of school children and the general public toward physics," the award guidelines state.
Specifically, the Lilly Prize was awarded to the New Mexico Tech Physics Club based on the club's ongoing series of physics demonstrations to Socorro area school children, with particular mention made of its new trébuchét traveling exhibit, whose design and construction was made possible by a previous monetary award from the SPS.
In addition, the Tech Physics Club's other outreach activities this past year included Van de Graaf generator and Tesla coil demonstrations, hosting an SPS Zone 16 meeting for New Mexico and Arizona chapters, and the always-popular paper airplane contest, which the group holds each April at New Mexico Tech in conjunction with National Physics Week.
The Blake Lilly Prize is named in honor of Blake Lilly, a student of physics and an advocate of physics outreach programs, who tragically died during his graduate studies.
The Blake Lilly Prize consists of a certificate and a three-volume set of "Feynman Lectures on Physics," a celebrated collection of notes and lectures from the late Richard Feynman, considered by many to have been one of the most influential physicists of the 20th Century.

New York Design Week may be over, but we're still digging through all of the fantastic designs we spotted from Manhattan to Brooklyn. This year's design exhibits showcased scores of LED-illuminated lamps, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that LED lighting is the future, and we were hard pressed to find any energy-sucking incandescent bulbs casting a shadow on the festivities. But which green lighting designs stood out amongst the bunch? Inhabitat's intrepid reporters were on the scene to scope out the best and the brightest of the next generation of green lighting. From a hanging pendant lamps exploding with LEDs to beautiful teardrop lights made from recycled Indonesian fishing baskets, check out 10 lamps that really shone bright at this year's New York Design Week!
LED Chandelier – by Group-Two Design
Group-Two Design's elegant LED Chandelier updates the trope of the classic baroque chandelier with twenty-first century lighting technology, and sleek modern lines. Group-Two used laser cutting technology to fabricate each lamp's five arms, which branch out from a central base and light up the night with linear LED lighting strips.
Moooi's Heracleum Lamp
Moooi's beautiful Heracleum Lamps burst onto the scene at ICFF, where they captivated onlookers with delicate forms inspired by plants. Light-bearing LED "leaves": branch out from the lamp's central structure, which carries a low-voltage current to power the lamp without the need for individual wires. In addition to showcasing an innovative use of technology, we think you'll agree that these LED pendant lamps make a stunning centerpiece for a modern room.
Mineheart's Tiny King Edison XII Chandelier
Want to live large in a small space? Look no further than Mineheart's King Edison XII Chandelier, which packs plenty of gilded baroque splendor into a tiny cheeky package. This awesomely fabulous low-energy lamp is lit by a dozen tiny LEDs ensconced within a clear glass shade – which make it look a bit like a giant Edison bulb, until you get up close and see the tiny chandelier inside.
Tucker Robbins' Indonesian Fishing Basket Lamps
Tucker Robbins's beautiful Teardrop Lights are made of repurposed fishing baskets handcrafted by Toraja women in Sulawesi, Indonesia. The handmade rattan baskets are lined with rice paper and give off a diffuse amber glow. Each is handmade and unique – what's not to love?
David Trubridge's Ring of Fire Lamp
No, you're not staring into the fiery eye of the Dark Lord Sauron. This year David Trubridge teamed up with crystal overlords Swarovski to create a spectacular circular LED lamp that is ringed by a row of sparkling crystals.
Mestyle's LED-Embedded Wallpaper
LED technology is increasingly lighting up every facet of our lives – but we never thought we'd find these the tiny low-energy lights embedded within our walls! Mestyle showcased a sparkling series of LED wallpapers at ICFF that lend an ambient glow to any interior.
Reveal Projector Lamp – by Adam Frank
Not everyone is lucky enough to have daylit interiors with expansive windows – which is why this "Reveal" projector light by Adam Frank is so brilliant. This diminutive projector lights up any blank wall with a virtual window – complete with shadowy foliage that appears to sway with passing breezes. With the projector you receive 6 different types of windows and 6 different types of foliage, so you can mix and match to suit your mood!
Moooi's Raimond Chandelier
These spectacular Raimond Chandeliers by Moooi look like the finale of a 4th of July fireworks display! The elegant geodesic structure carries a low-voltage (safe to the touch) current to dozens of LEDs, eliminated the need for messy wires, and providing a stunningly original overhead lighting fixture.
Bower's Magnetic Lamps
Bower's geometric Polaris Lamp is made from faceted pieces of scrap wood built around a LED light. A magnet concealed within allows these flexible lamps to stick to any magnetic surface – so they can easily be positioned for ambient flair or focused task lighting.
Lumen LED Lamp – by Adam Frank
At BKLYN Designs Adam Frank unveiled an LED update to his Lumen nightlight, which casts the form of a towering tree upon nearby walls. This enchanting lamp shows that even small low-energy lights can have a big impact!
