Clarkson University Sculpture Featured in Book
Sculptor David Black has featured a Clarkson University landmark in his book David Black - Urban Sculpture as Proto Architecture.
The book on outdoor architecture features his work "Portside," the large white sculpture outside of the Cheel Campus Center.
The sculpture was a gift of the late Helen Snell Cheel in memory of her son, Bertrand S. Cheel, Clarkson Class of 1962. The Cheel Campus Center is named in recognition of a major gift commitment by Cheel, daughter of Sara and North Country Congressman Bertrand H. Snell, a longtime Clarkson trustee, and wife of the late Harold Cheel.
Black terms his sculptures "proto-architecture," a combining of architectural forms: columns, arch-like units, canopies, and benches -- with sculptural elements: imagery, a mix of stable forms with high energy, and projecting movement.
He began his college career as a physics major. His highly imaginative constructions are carefully engineered, leading to his moniker as "artist-engineer."
Black has been a professor of art at Ohio State University, Columbus, for many years and is a native of Gloucester, Mass.
The book also includes an essay by art critic Donald Kuspit.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

The state government administered 3,148km of roads in Tasmania, 93.6% of which were sealed. Greater Hobart-Southern Region had 1,301km (41.3%) of these roads, 93.2% of which were sealed; Northern Region had 941km (29.9%), 89.2% of which were sealed; and Mersey-Lyell Region had 906km (28.8%), 99.3% of which were sealed.
Roads owned by local government covered 14,272km, 50.1% of which were sealed. Greater Hobart-Southern Region had 5,411km (37.9%), 42.4% of which were sealed; Northern Region had 4,951km (34.7%), 53.5% of which were sealed; and Mersey-Lyell Region had 3,910km (27.4%), 56.4% of which were sealed.

In 2008, 203 (64.9%) serious casualties were male compared to 110 female serious casualties. Male serious casualties outnumbered females in all age groups except for the age group '64 and over' where there were 23 female serious casualties compared to 15 male casualties. Younger males, aged 17-29 years, were most likely to be a serious casualty (28.1%), followed by males aged 30-49 years (17.9%) and females aged 30-49 years (12.1%).
Over one third (37.4%) of serious casualties were aged 17-29 years, 30.0% were aged 30-49 years, 13.7% were aged 50-64 years, 12.1% were aged 65 and over, and 6.7% were aged under 17.

Of employed persons who used one method of transport to get to work, most (76.6%) travelled by car, as driver, followed by car, as passenger (8.9%) and walking (7.1%).
There were 9.6 million Metro bus passenger trips in Tasmania in 2007-08, a decrease of 2.7% in passenger trips from the 2006-07 figure of 9.9 million. Of the trips made in 2007-08, some 7.4 million (77.0%) were in Hobart, 1.7 million (17.9%) were in Launceston and 0.5 million (5.1%) were in Burnie.
During the period 2003-04 to 2007-08, Hobart experienced a 2.8% increase in bus passenger movements, while Launceston (-6.2%) and Burnie (-6.8%) both experienced a decrease.
In 2007-08, most air passenger movement in Tasmania occurred in and out of Hobart airport (1.8 million) and Launceston airport (1.1 million), compared with Devonport airport (98,700) Burnie (Wynyard) airport (95,300), King Island (31,300) and Flinders Island (18,200).
During the period 2003-04 to 2007-08, most of the main airports in Tasmania experienced a substantial increase in the number of passengers boarding or departing by major domestic and regional airlines. Launceston experienced the highest percentage change (64.7%), with an increase in air passenger movements from 671,900 in 2003-04 to 1.1 million in 2007-08. Flinders Island followed with an increase from 11,600 to 18,200 (56.9%); Hobart from 1.2 million to 1.8 million (43.5%); King Island from 23,200 to 31,300 (34.9%); and Burnie (Wynyard) from 89,700 to 95,300 (6.2%) .

In 2007-08, the TT-Line completed 804 voyages across Bass Strait, carrying 385,028 passengers, 177,265 vehicles and 85,594 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of freight. This was a substantial decrease from the number of voyages, passengers and vehicles in 2006-07. The decline in the most recent years is largely due to the sale of Spirit of Tasmania 'III' in September 2006. This vessel began operating in January 2004 between Devonport and Sydney. Services of Spirit of Tasmania 'I' and 'II' continue to operate between Devonport and Melbourne.
Domestic Freight
In 2004-05, a total of 8.9 billion tonne-kilometres of freight was carried in Tasmania. Most domestic freight was carried by sea (51.7%), followed by road (38.2%) and rail (10.1%). From 2002-03 to 2004-05, the proportion of shipped domestic freight decreased from 60.4% in 2002-03 to 51.7% in 2004-05. Conversely, the proportion of domestic freight carried by road increased almost 10.0%, from 32.3% to 38.2%. The share of domestic freight carried by rail also increased (12.5%) during the same period, from 8.3% to 10.1%.
International Freight
In 2007-08, most international freight was carried by sea (99.9%), compared with air (0.1%).

Most eukaryotic cells exhibit three different varieties of cytoskeletal filaments, each of which functions in the cell in a characteristic manner. The long, hollow filaments known as microtubules are primarily responsible for regulating the transport of molecules between intracellular compartments and governing the positioning of organelles bound by membranes. A microtubule exhibits an outer diameter of approximately 25 nanometers and is significantly more rigid than an actin filament. In a typical animal cell, microtubules are nucleated around a small region of cytoplasm bordering the nucleus of the cell called a microtubule-organizing center (MTOC) or centrosome. From the MTOC, the filaments extend out in an astral-like configuration, with their minus ends embedded in the centrosome and their plus ends situated towards the periphery of the cell. A specialized variety of tubulin (gamma-tubulin) apparently plays a key role in the organization of microtubules, forming ring-shaped complexes with proteins that are widely supposed to act as templates for the nucleation of microtubules that have grown to contain the 13 protafilaments characteristic of the structures.
The microtubule network from the adherent culture of APM fibroblast cells presented in the digital image above was immunofluorescently labeled with anti-tubulin mouse monoclonal primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (IgG) conjugated to Alexa Fluor 568 (yielding red emission). In addition, the cells were labeled for cytoskeletal F-actin with Alexa Fluor 350 (blue emission) conjugated to phalloidin, and for cell nuclei with SYTOX Green, a classic nucleic acid stain. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

In 2003 when Graz was chosen as the European Capital of Culture, the city inaugurated a very unusual art museum on the right bank of the Mur river: the Kunsthaus Graz. Although a sharp contrast to the surrounding historic monuments, the ultra-modern building has become a beloved addition to the traditional skyline of red roofs. The museum exhibits are fully dedicated to contemporary art.
The museum unites many art forms under one roof: from architecture and design to photography and new media. The museum doesn't boast its own collection or any permanent exhibits, so each visit can be a whole new experience. Only one thing never changes: the intriguing building itself. The unusual exterior, with its eccentric curves and protrusions, stands out among the surrounding architecture. Locals often refer to the building as 'the friendly alien'.
One of the most striking aspects of the building is the 900-square-metre BIX façade. The name is a combination of the words 'big' and 'pixel', a reference to the 930 circular lamps installed on the outside of the building. Centrally controlled by a computer, the lamps can create simple images and animations, like pixels on a computer screen. The effect is visible from afar.
The innovative building was designed by London architects Peter Cook and Colin Fournier. Its exterior resembles a blue blob. The unique exterior of this 'alien creature' is an example of the so-called Blob architecture – a style that has emerged thanks to new digital design techniques. Inside, the building has over 11,000 square metres of exhibit space, a café and a media lounge.
Graz is a real university town, with approximately 50,000 students among a total population of 300,000. The city's young and dynamic vibe is one of the reasons why Graz was elected as the Cultural Capital of Europe in 2003. That same year, the Kunsthaus Graz opened its doors as part of the city's comprehensive urban renewal projects in the surrounding district of Lend. This working class neighbourhood on the west bank of the Mur river never attracted much attention, but today it has been transformed into the city's young creative district, packed with cafés, designer stores and hip restaurants.

UV-Quartz glass is stronger than hard glass and highly resistant to temperature extremes and vibrations, which eliminates the risk of explosion. Philips quartz-glass lamps (filament 2 650º C and glass 800º C) are able to withstand severe thermal shock. With the capability to withhold increased pressure inside the lamp, UV-quartz glass is able to produce more powerful light. ^Application varies per bulb type
Only a burning bulb made of quartz glass (filament 2650°c, glass 800°c) can resist thermal shocks : such as, if a drop of cold water touches the hot bulb, when you drive through water with a broken headlight unit. ^Application varies per bulb type
Philips special anti-UV coating technology protects the headlights against harmful ultraviolet radiation, making Philips UV-coated quartz glass perfect for all driving conditions and ensures their longevity

Project Description
The Poggio Civitate Archaeological Project is among the oldest and best known field schools in the world. Our program provides students the opportunity to excavate at the site under the direction of a staff of professional archaeologists, conservators, illustrators, and photographers. Participants receive training in all aspects of field work, including excavation and data collection, archaeological survey and drawing, objects conservation, illustration, photography, and cataloguing.
At Poggio Civitate, we believe that the best field experience is comprehensive. Students are encouraged to work directly with directors of excavation units, follow artifacts from discovery through conservation and into cataloguing. Most of our Participants come with no field work experience – many have never even taken an archaeology or classics course –and by the end of the season, we believe, each comes away with a foundation in Etruscan Archaeology and field methods, as well as an appreciation for Italy and rural Italian culture.
The 2011 field season will focus excavation on an area of the hill recently discovered to preserve remains of the sixth century B.C. archaic complex, as well as to explore other areas for traces of non-elite architecture. Work is conducted Monday - Friday, with the weekends free to explore Tuscany and further afield in Italy.
Period(s) of Occupation: Etruscan, Archaic, Orientalizing, Pre Roman Italy
Minimum Length of Stay for Volunteers: June 28 - August 2nd
Room and Board Arrangements
Participants are housed in a building of the Albergo di Murlo, a local hotel run by the honorable Rubegni family, in double to quad rooms. All meals are provided Monday - Friday, and are prepared by the excavation chef. A pool is available for a supplement.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – Georgia College senior women's cross country student-athlete Victoria Dobson (New Hamburg, Ontario) was named to the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) All-Academic Team, as announced by the conference office Thursday afternoon.
Dobson claimed the honor after an exceptional 2011 campaign on and off the field. The English major has compiled a 3.65 GPA over her tenure at GC, while picking up three top-20 finishes this season.
Her best effort came in the Bobcat Invitational, finishing 12th overall with a 5K time of 22:23.
Georgia College also had a trio of sophomores earn PBC All-Academic Honorable Mention accolades, as Allison Lones (Kathleen, Ga.), Ashton Passino (Alpharetta, Ga.) and Madeline McCane (McDonough, Ga.) were named to the list.
Lones, a pre-nursing major, has put together a 3.36 GPA while also shining on the course. She led the Bobcats in all six races this season, finishing in the top-10 three separate occasions en route to All-PBC Second Team honors for the second consecutive year.
Passino was also a key contributor for the 'Cats, earning a pair of top-20 finishes. She also has a stellar GPA of 3.78 as a pre-nursing major.
Rounding out the collection of scholar-athletes is biology major McCane, who ran in four of six races this season. She currently owns a 3.69 GPA in her second year at Georgia College.
The women's cross country team will head to Charlotte, N.C. Saturday, Nov. 5 to compete in the NCAA Southeast Region Championships.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement. Sign up at www.twitter.com/BobcatSports and www.facebook.com/gcbobcats for up-to-the-minute reports, and visit www.GCBobcats.com for more information, and to nominate your favorite former Bobcats and Colonials to the GC Athletics Hall of Fame.

Summer Short Course Targets Management Grad Students
SOCORRO, N.M. July 21, 2009 – The New Mexico Tech management department is offering another summer short course for master of engineering management students.
Management department chairman Dr. Peter Anselmo said the graduate classes are designed for the working professional to get maximum value in management education.
Over the summer, New Mexico Tech has offered one class in June, and a second two-week course in the graduate Engineering Management program will be offered starting Monday, 10 August. Anselmo said the first course offered in June was very successful and he expects the next course to be equally well received.
Each course is worth three credit-hours and includes 40 hours of classroom work. Anselmo said students can expect to spend an additional 40 hours on the course outside of class time.
Dr. Frank Reinow will teach Managing Change in Technology Organizations, which aims to prepare technical managers and professionals to plan and implement changes at all levels of the organization, with an additional focus on building cross functional teams assigned to change initiatives.
"We've tossed around the idea of offering short courses in recent years, but this is our first effort," Anselmo said. "We're responding to the changing needs of professionals who are working toward an advanced degree."
Anselmo taught Financial Management in June, targeting the class toward working engineering professionals. He said the students appreciated the intensive short course. The courses are streamed live on the Internet, through New Mexico Tech's distance education program, a division that is among Tech's fastest growing.
"Our distance education capabilities have grown considerably the last few years, and we can provide a live, interactive classroom experience that is critical for the learning experiences we want our graduate students to have," Anselmo said.
The cost for the course beginning August 10 is $2,500, which Anselmo said is a bargain for this type of graduate level course from a high-quality institution such as Tech.
A typical master's of engineering management student has a bachelor's in engineering and several years of work experience. However, many of these students are working professionals and have difficulty working a full semester of classes into their schedule, Anselmo said.
"A lot of high-tech companies are changing operations and transferring people," he said. "It's become harder for engineers to work a two-year program into their career. We're being responsive to the needs of the students and the needs of the market."

How to install a new theme in Prestashop 1.5
NOTICE! PrestaShop 1.6x has been released! Here is our guide on installing themes in PrestaShop 1.6.
Prestashop 1.5 has a great default theme. It is very clean and well laid out. However, you may want to make your PrestaShop 1.5 store look different than the others out there. A new theme can give your store its own personality. Adding a new theme to your PrestaShop 1.5 store is a two part process. The first part will be getting the files up to your hosting account and is done outside of the PrestaShop application. Once that is done, the configuration will be done within PrestaShop itself.
The instructions below will take you through the process assuming you are using the cPanel application on your hosting account. You must have already downloaded either a free or premium Prestashop 1.5 theme onto your local computer. These can be found elsewhere on the web or from the Prestashop website.
Uploading the theme files to your hosting account (cPanel)
- Log into your cPanel account.
- From the cPanel main page, locate the "Files" category on the right hand panel and click on the File Manager icon.
- When you open File Manager you will see the main file manager screen with a split window. In the top right hand corner, click on Settings. This will open the Preferences window. Click on the drop-down arrow in the field under Document root in order to select the domain or subdomain for your Prestashop store. Next, select the radio button labeled Document Root For. Select the domain that you are using as your primary domain, or select the domain that you are using for your PrestaShop installation. Once selected, click on the Save button at the bottom to move on to the File Manager.
- You are now in the File Manager. Scroll down the right hand panel and locate the themes folder. From there, double click it to enter.
- You are now inside the themes folder. Now we want to upload the theme zip file you have on your local computer. Click on the Upload icon from the top menu bar.
- This takes you to the screen to select your file from your local computer. To select it, hit the Browse button and find it from your local files. The upload will begin automatically once selected.
- Go back to your themes folder in the File Manager and you should see the zip file for your new theme. From here, right click on it and click on the Extract option from the pop-up menu.
- You will be greeted with another pop-up menu. The settings are correct, so simply click on the Extract File(s) button. After the extraction, you will see another pop-up. click on the Close button to continue.
- You will now see a new folder with the name of the new theme within your themes folder. This means the new theme is installed within the files of your hosting account.
Be sure to remember or write down the name of the folder as you will need it in the next part.Now, we must enter PrestaShop and configure it so you can use it.
Activating a new theme in PrestaShop 1.5
- Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard.
- Using the top menu bar, hover over the Preferences tab and click on the Themes option from the menu.
- At the top of the next page, locate and click the green Add New button.
- You are now on the configuration for the new theme. The name in the Name Of The Theme field can be anything meaningful to you. The second field, Name Of The Theme's Directory must be the name of the folder that was installed previously. Click the green Save button once you have entered your information.
Your new theme should now appear in the themes list.
That is how you install a new theme into PrestaShop 1.5. You may want to move on to our article on how to set a theme for your store in PrestaShop 1.5.

Prestashop 1.7 has an option to Add a Theme. I would recommend following the instructions they provide here. It does not appear that the themes folder's location is different between the 2 versions.
2015-03-09 4:20 am
Hi John,
I have been trying to install PS 1.5x theme to my latest ps 22.214.171.124
I have no success when trying to install from the back office. I have read through the forum about how to manually install prestashop theme via ftp file transfer to theme folder and extract the zip file.
My question is, the content file and folder of the theme (1.5x) i downloaded were completely in a quite different order to the 1.6X version.
I saw: cache, css, img, js, lang, mobile, modules, pdf folders
And also: index.php, config in XML, and plenty of files with .TPL extension.
Would you mind share with us how to classify and locate which file/folder to the appropriate folder in my web host server?
Thx before....Looking forward to hear from you.

Hello Hendra,
Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer for making a PrestaShop 1.5 theme work in PS 1.6.
You will essentially have to custom code/develop the theme in order to make it work. The official PrestaShop Theme development fundamentals guide can assist you when editing a Theme.
Alternately, you may want to contact the 3rd party theme developer, as they may have a work-around, or solution since they originally coded it.
Thank you,

Natixis Asset Management and Dorval Finance strengthen their strategic partnership.
After six years of fruitful cooperation, Natixis Asset Management and Dorval Finance are strengthening their strategic partnership. On 9 September, Natixis Asset Management increased its stake in Dorval Finance from 25% to 50.1%.
For Dorval Finance, a specialist in conviction-driven flexible management, the goal is to accelerate its development in France and internationally with private wealth clients, independent financial advisers and institutional investors. For this purpose, Dorval Finance will rely on both Natixis Global Asset Management's global distribution platform and the French banking networks of Groupe BPCE. Dorval Finance will also continue to benefit from the assistance and expertise of Natixis Asset Management's support functions while preserving its autonomous and independent investment management.
Pascal Voisin, Chief Executive Officer, Natixis Asset Management explains : "Taking a majority stake in Dorval Finance is in line with Natixis Global Asset Management's strategy of extending its multiaffiliates model in Europe to offer investors a broad range of high-performing and innovative solutions".
Louis Bert, Deputy CEO and CIO of Dorval Finance adds : "Since we first set up our strategic partnership with Natixis Asset Management, we have achieved a fivefold increase in assets under management.

Happy boxing day! I hope everyone had a lovely day with their loved ones yesterday! I sort of can't believe it's over. It always seems to sneak up on me.
Today I have a two more contributions for the series…
The fantastic Barbara from Hodge Podge and our fave @Glamamama Christine from Decor by Christine are sharing some of their holiday traditions!
When my husband and I started a family we knew we wanted to continue some family traditions on Christmas. Two that I have kept from my childhood is 1) we always eat seafood on Christmas Eve and 2) my 2 daughters are allowed to open one gift after dinner on Christmas eve – it helps calm some of the excitement before the big day. A new tradition we began with the girls is watching a Christmas movie or show each night starting December 1st all the way to the 25th. Our favourites are the Santa Claus movies with Tim Allen and of course, How the Grinch stole Christmas with Jim Carrey and the original animated version. As soon as Dec 1st hits, the girls excitedly get out all our Christmas DVDs to begin our holiday viewing extravaganza!!
At our home we mix several holiday traditions together, combining my husband's and mine's. When I decorate though, I love to incorporate my Czech heritage into the mix. It was such a vital part of my life growing up, making Christmas feel so magical and important.

Marines in Afghanistan Banned From Making Audible Farts
The military has banned Marines serving in Afghanistan from emitting audible farts, as such gastrointestinal expressions offend the Afghan people.
According to the Military Times, this is just the latest lifestyle restriction on our Marines, who have already been told not to cuss or talk about religion, politics or girls when they are serving in combat zones in Afghanistan.
It's also possibly the most short-sighted — as everybody knows it's the silent ones that are the most deadly.

WASHINGTON -- A full-blown nor'easter huffed and puffed its way through the mid-Atlantic region Thursday, shutting airports and government offices a day after the storm battered much of the Old South, leaving hundreds of thousands without electricity and many heeding warnings to stay home and avoid dangerous roads.
Up to more than a foot of snow had fallen in parts of Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania and the storm was still packing plenty of power as it punched its way through the metropolitan New York area, heading toward New England. In a winter that has already seen many snowfall records blown away by a series of furious storms, the current blizzard was pouring more grief onto shoulders already weary of the seemingly never-ending cycle of digging out and preparing anew.
At least 14 deaths have been reported in the storm's march across the South and more than 600,000 customers remained without electricity as utilities from Arkansas to New Jersey fought to repair power lines downed by heavy ice and falling trees. More than 10,000 flights have been canceled and the economy has taken a hit as shoppers stayed home.
In the nation's capital, the biggest storm of the season shut down the federal government, airports and schools, creating an Olympic-like challenge for anyone trying to get around. It further taxed residents weary of the cold weather, snow days and canceled meetings.
Even if anyone wanted to go out, it wasn't going to be easy getting anywhere, with more than a foot of snow already on the ground in some areas and more forecast through the day.
Cancellations mounted throughout the day. Vice President Joe Biden canceled a trip to address the House Democrats' retreat on Maryland's Eastern Shore. Also canceled: the Disney on Ice show at the Verizon Center. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority suspended bus service due to "extremely hazardous travel conditions'' and warned commuters that above-ground sections of the rail system could be shut down.
Runways were closed at Dulles International and Reagan National airports.
With the exception of an occasional car or two, the roads are quiet around Foggy Bottom in the district's downtown. By one entrance to the State Department, there was only a security guard standing by several large bags of salt.
"It's the worst [snow] we've had in the last four years," Malcolm Griffin said on his way to work. "I think this may be worse than last year."
Demi Skipper, who said she has lived in the district her whole life and was on her way back from picking up files at the Capitol, was stoic.
"People freak out for no reason and things just close," she said.
Some were trying to find ways around cabin fever, an emotional danger given the number of days spent indoors because of the frequent storms this year.
In the Annapolis, Md., area, a Jeff Solsby, born and raised in Southern California, planned to go exploring in his four-wheel-drive truck.
"Thus far today, our street isn't plowed and only a few hardy souls have ventured out,'' he said. "Our dog is upset because we won't let him run off leash in the piles of snow; the kids are upset because the snow is too mushy and wet for sledding; and, mom and dad are praying the power stays on so we can deploy the nuclear option for child care -- Disney movies!"
But any kind of travel remained a problem as governors up and down the East Coast declared states of emergency and warned motorists to remain inside.
John Townsend of AAA Mid-Atlantic's Washington office said in an email that many roads were "littered with disabled cars.'' Virginia state police reported one weather-related road fatality, the 14th in recent days in the South.
In Garrett County, Md., county administrator Monty Pagenhardt echoed the sentiment of many mid-Atlantic residents who have endured a winter of very cold temperatures.
"I'm just getting tired of it,'' he said.
In New York, the snow was hard, nearly hail-like, and had piled up on sidewalks and steps by early Thursday morning. Trucks and cars slid on the snowy roads, icy from previous storm, and in many parts of the city, unplowed. Wind gusts reached 20 mph in the morning and a winter storm warning was in effect until 6 a.m. Friday.
Schools were not canceled, leading some parents and kids to trek across unshoveled sidewalks, and other students to just stay home. Others took to Twitter in anger, blaming Mayor Bill de Blasio for telling people to stay off the roads but keeping schools open.
Brian Troffer was leading his 6-year-old daughter across an unshoveled sidewalk in Brooklyn on her way to school. He said he had to check online to make sure there was school, but sure enough, schools were open. Then, he was going to head into work.
His daughter, Zoe, dawdled, jumping in the snowbanks and generally reveling in the snow, although the wind was whipping the icy snow horizontal, causing it to sting cheeks.
Troffer said he was sick of the winter. Was Zoe?
"No!" she said.
Many school districts outside of New York City canceled school or opened late; state courts are closed outside of the city as well.
"Because of its timing and intensity, this storm is going to make both the morning and evening rush hours extremely difficult," De Blasio said Wednesday.
Antonio Rodriguez was out shoveling the sidewalk in front of the hair salon where he works in Brooklyn on Thursday morning. It was one of the only sidewalks clear of snow on the block. So few sidewalks were shoveled that it took Rodriguez 20 minutes to walk to work--it usually takes 10.
"People must be staying in, or just waiting for more snow to fall," he said. It is supposed to snow throughout the day.
It's Rodriguez's fifth time shoveling the walkway this winter, he said. He thought about staying home, and forgetting about yet another cold morning of shoveling.
"But then I thought of all the other people who had to go to work and school, and I came in," he said.
While the Northeast braced, the South was trying to recover. Much of the storm was over but the effect had been large on an area not used to dealing with snow and ice. At least 13 inches of snow had fallen in Laurel Ridge, Va.; 11 inches in Lake Toxaway, N.C.; and 10 inches in Cullman, Ala., according to the National Weather Service.
A half inch of ice has been reported across a wide area of central Georgia, enshrouding places like Augusta and Marietta. An inch of ice coated Orangeburg, S.C., where the state asked people not to drive until the storm passes.
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory again asked drivers to stay off the roads as the state braced for another one to three inches of snow that was expected to blanket major highways crews had just cleared from Wednesday's snow and ice storm.
"The bottom line is, this storm is still dangerous,'' McCrory said at a mid-morning news conference in Raleigh, N.C. "Stay at home unless it's an emergency.''
As National Guard troops and highway patrol officers rescued motorists from abandoned cars and checked other vehicles left on the roadsides during Wednesday's massive traffic jams, people struggled to dig out their cars from roadsides. The North Carolina highway patrol responded to nearly 3,000 calls for assistance and 1,900 traffic accidents, according to the patrol commander, Col. Bill Grey.
The governor said only cars blocking travel lanes were being towed – about 140 vehicles by mid-morning. Hundreds of other cars scattered across highway shoulders and medians will not be towed, McCrory said.
Motorists who can safely get to their abandoned cars on cleared roads before snow arrives later Thursday should move their vehicles, McCrory said. Otherwise, they should wait until after crews clear roads from Thursday's expected snowfall, he said.
"Use your common sense,'' said the governor, who spent most of the night at the state emergency center in the capital, Raleigh. "If anyone is left in their car, we'll find them and help them.''
Another huge problem was the downed power lines. Hundreds of thousands were still without power.
In Atlanta, temperatures were forecast to rise during the day, but drop below freezing again overnight. Forecasters warned of the danger of black ice. Georgia Power, whose customers are concentrated in the metro Atlanta area, said about 462,000 homes and businesses have lost power at some point during the storm, though about 200,000 have had service restored. More than 5 million people live in the metro area.
Still there was some joy over having a play day.
Hope Winston, 28, a correctional officer shopping at a Giant market, said the snow "is beautiful. This is what we need ... the more snow the better."
She said she expected to spend the day off playing video games and playing with the dog.
It's a "lousy day, lazy day," she said.
Simon reported from Washington and Semuels from New York. Staff writers Daniel Rothberg and Lalita Clozel contributed form Washington; David Zucchino in North Carolina and Michael Muskal in Los Angeles also contributed.

Joe Jonas is cementing his career away from his brothers: tonight he takes the solo limelight at the Ed Sullivan Theatre for Live on Letterman. The exclusive webcast will see him perform his new material ahead of his forthcoming US tour.
Today Last.fm Trends is looking into his career so far, to see what viewers can look forward to.
"See No More" was his first release in June of this year, and it's got him off to a running start. Debut album Fast Life is due in September, and should continue a pretty solidly growing fanbase.
The recently-debuted track "Love Slayer" is also sure to be a part of his set, but we'll have to wait and see what else he brings to the stage later tonight: tune in to see what his solo show delivers.
Meanwhile The Jonas Brothers themselves remain on good form. Their top tracks have so far matched up to Joe's solo work, however a slow decline in listeners to songs like "Burnin' Up" and "S.O.S" suggests that some listeners are abandoning the brothers' works to pick a favourite of the trio. So far it's close to call, with Nick and Joe just a few thousand listeners apart.
Learn more about Joe Jonas at his Last.fm page, and tonight at 9 PM ET/ 6 PM PT catch him on Live on Letterman presented by AT&T, re-think possible.

Sworn to protect your data, wherever it is.
Available with: MozyPro | MozyEnterprise
Somewhere in your building there's a superhero. His powers become more obvious when you realize that day after day he silently monitors backups and guards your data from disaster. He's… the IT backup guy.
When the IT backup guy gets a call from branch offices looking for lost data, it's up to him to restore it. And quickly. This isn't as easy as it sounds. If a branch office isn't consistent with its backups, if their backups solutions don't work, or if recovering lost data just takes too long (tape, anyone?), our hero can't save the day.
With Mozy, however, IT managers can save the day, every day. Mozy allows your office superheroes to easily deploy Mozy to every remote office's computers and servers, directly from their laptops. They can also set Mozy to back up files automatically, so users never have to lift a finger. To top it all off, IT managers can even give employees what they want—a personal file sync solution. Mozy file sync gives them instant access to the files they need for greater productivity, while IT maintains control of company data, all from a single pane of glass with their Mozy cloud backups. You'll be singing praises to your IT backup guy—and Mozy.

I found WindMerge awesome, but when you need to compare two version of the same file, you must use the browse, folder... to select each.
Wouldn't it be easier to simple drag/n/drop two files from distinct folder into the WM interface?

Romney and Obama Get High Ratings for Love
Sept. 9, 2012—
Columbia University Teachers College Psychologist Examines How the Candidates' Convention Talk Appealed to Voters' Emotions
Issues like jobs, taxes and war surely affect how people vote, but research shows that people cast their ballot based on emotional reactions to candidates.
Some political analysts have suggested that both the Republican and Democratic conventions left people confused about whether the party in power has created more jobs or fewer, and unsure about the answer to the question, "Are you better off now than four years ago?"
So how did the candidates stack up with regard to feelings? Was it any clearer?
In revealing personal aspects of their marriages and family lives in their convention speeches, the candidates seduced us by making us yearn for aspects of healthy relationships.
Here's how the candidates scored on dimensions of healthy relationships, as outlined in my book, "The Compete Idiot's Guide to a Healthy Relationship":
Mitt Romney
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's opening comments in his campaign acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., on Aug. 30, defined his running mate Paul Ryan first as "a man with a big heart," and later as a "caring" leader, earning Romney a score of "7."
Surveys show that "caring" is a top personal quality women seek in a partner. Just as the heart provides essential lifeblood, a big heart indicates highly desirable generosity and compassion. These qualities humanize Ryan as well as Romney, himself -- highlighting softer, loving traits.
Romney's definition of his parents' unconditional love, as if straight out of a psychology textbook, earned him an exceptionally powerful score of "10." Unconditional love is the best foundation parents can provide for a child's growth, self-esteem and confidence in pursuing their dreams.
"My mom and dad gave their kids the greatest gift of all -- the gift of unconditional love," Romney said. "They cared deeply about who we would BE, and much less about what we would DO."
Such support is often out of adults' reach, constricted by criticisms and judgments, yet it is an ideal to strive for. In parenting with unconditional love, disapproval can be directed at a behavior, not who the child IS.
Similarly, love between partners should not depend on what you look like, earn, do or say, but be extended for who you are inside as a person.
Love heals and nurtures.
"All the laws and legislation in the world will never heal this world like the loving hearts and arms of mothers and fathers," said Romney, earning him a score of "10" for elevating love over power or rules. "If every child could drift to sleep feeling wrapped in the love of their family -- and God's love -- this world would be a far more gentle and better place."
Indeed, putting children to bed and waking them up with a cheerful and loving spirit prepares them to grow up being kind and peaceful adults.
Couples should do the same for each other to be better able to face inevitable stresses of the day. Loving and feeling loved reduces anger that fuels aggression and attempts at control.
All couples want to know the "secret" to an enduring relationship and love life. In his acceptance speech, Romney revealed the "secret" to his parents' 64-year marriage, evidenced by the sweet gesture of the rose left daily by his father for his mother -- a sweet tip worth a score of "6."
A calendar of romantic acts is one of the many tips outlined in my book, including simple daily romantic words or actions, like a loving note tucked in a briefcase or lighting a candle over dinner.
Achieving "true" partnership, being "there" for each other, is one of the true tests of love outlined in my book.
Romney provided a top-notch example of this, earning him another score of "10," when describing how when his "mom ran for the Senate, my dad was there for her every step of the way."
Such support is an excellent example for all American couples.
Respect for and honoring of women is evident in Romney adoring his mother's "beautiful voice," in his hiring women, his appreciating the value of his wife, Ann Romney, in her role as mother (even in contrast to his own "job" as breadwinner), and also in his adoration of and loyalty to her in times of trouble. The image of Romney hugging his wife as they heard her diagnosis of multiple sclerosis was a true display of a healthy relationship, in stark contrast to pervasive unfaithfulness suffered by so many American couples (and certainly to the betrayal of a previous high-level political candidate in the face of his wife's tragic struggle with cancer).
Fulfilling the promise of being loyal "in sickness and in health" is a fundamental characteristic of a deeply loving, long-lasting and healthy relationship. Romney's display rates a score of "10" because such loyalty inspires trust -- shown by surveys to be a top quality desired by couples and essential for a healthy relationship.
Creating a sense of family provides a secure foundation to grow and function in today's stressful world. In the face of high divorce rates and all-too-common fractured families, few can resist the endearing image of a parents' bed invaded by five rambunctious young sons -- as Romney described one of the joys of parenthood for he and wife, Ann. It evoked an image worth a score of "6."
Short of that ideal, couples can create extended families to develop deep connectedness that contribute to thriving.
Barack Obama
President Barack Obama didn't have to say much about his marriage to his wife, Michelle Obama, in his acceptance speech for the Democratic nomination on Sept. 6 in Charlotte, N.C., because she did it all for him. Her widely touted speech two days earlier delivered a public love letter likened to none in the history of presidential conventions.
In her testimonial, she said, "Today, I love my husband even more than I did four years ago ... even more than I did 23 years ago, when we first met."
She also used a magic word that seals a healthy relationship, according to hundreds of surveys: trust.
"I love that we can trust Barack to do what he says he's going to do, even when it's hard -- especially when it's hard," she said.
The first lady also praised "unconditional love" from her parents, just as Romney did the week before. The use of this professional term so soon after Romney's use of the same made me wonder whether she or her speechwriters knew the positive psychological impact that allusion would have.
With such a testimonial, Obama didn't need to say as much directly about his wife and marriage as Romney did. He needed only to open his speech with a solid affirmation of love that therapists recommend to all couples: Turn to your partner directly and say how you feel.
"Michelle, I love you so much," Obama said, looking directly at his wife in the front row.
The three simple, magic words -- "I love you" -- are what so many women desperately want to hear their man say directly to them. Those are also the three magic words so many men and women fear saying, or forget to say after years of being together.
His words were made even more powerful -- worth a score more than "10" so I gave it a "12" -- by adding the words "so much," and by using the partner's name, as Obama did, saying, "Michelle, I love you so much."
Obama scored higher than Romney in his opening remarks by addressing his wife first, instead of first pointing out the positive qualities of his running mate.
Continuing his avowal to his wife and letting us all in on it, the president continued, "A few nights ago, everyone was reminded just what a lucky man I am."
Such recognition is a partner's dream. It added "7" more points to his score.
As therapists advise, bump up your appreciation with using additional simple, but magic, words: how lucky you are. The more you let everyone know how lucky you are to have your partner, the more she glows from being so adored and valued.
Everyone likes to be acknowledged and praised for what they contribute to a relationship and that they provide valued support in their partner's life.
The president did that deftly, saying, "[It] wasn't about me. It was about you," and adding, "You're the reason a young man in Colorado who never thought he'd be able to afford his dream of earning a medical degree is about to get that chance. You made that possible. You're the reason a young immigrant who grew up here and went to school here and pledged allegiance to our flag will no longer be deported from the only country she's ever called home; why selfless soldiers won't be kicked out of the military because of who they are or who they love."
The passage earns a "7" for evoking imagery of reaching dreams, being home, loving whom you choose. It pulls at heartstrings.
In saying, "I'm hopeful because of you," the president expressed a kind of dependence that is healthy in a relationship.
Couples crave knowing that they're needed and like being asked to help. Obama's appeal was even more direct when he said, "Help me recruit 100,000 math and science teachers in the next 10 years, and improve early childhood education."
His expression of need was worth a score of "6."
The partnership Romney described in his parents' marriage, Obama extended to us.
"I'm proud of what we've accomplished together," he said, drawing us in. His reassuring us that, "We will pull each other up," earned him another score of "6." Being given credit and being reassured of being part of a team in success intensifies a bond.
Other words and phrases that stand out in the president's speech, even buried within more political points, evoke allusions to healthy relationships -- words like "commitment" and phrases like "our destinies are bound together."
Commitment is essential in love, and feeling tied by forces stronger than yourselves intensifies the bond. Each one earns a score of "3 1/2" (which would be more, if elaborated), for a total of "7."
Perhaps one of the most risky, yet also essential, aspects of a healthy relationship is admitting your own inadequacies or failings, and how you've let the other person down. It takes great courage and Obama showed it -- earning score of "10" -- when he said in his speech, "You can be disappointed with me," and "I'm far more mindful of my own failings."
Quoting President Lincoln, he said, "I have been driven to my knees many times by the overwhelming conviction that I had no place else to go."
Such admissions are essential for any partner to agree to move forward in a relationship -- affirming the relevance of "forward" as the president's reelection campaign theme.
"We will learn from our mistakes," he said.
Apologies have to happen before a betrayed partner can regain trust and agree to give the transgressor another chance -- like Obama is asking the American public to do, in the face of broken promises and disappointment in his performance.
Romney vs. Obama: The Love Scale Score
Score 59 for Romney and 55 for Obama on the love scale.
Joe Biden's Love Address
Interestingly, Vice President Joe Biden took a similar tact to the president in his convention speech with an opening comment directly declaring devotion to his wife. Like Obama, he addressed her by name, and used those three simple magic words: "I love you."
Expanding the romance, he let us deeper into his boudoir talk, with a poetic twist, when he added, "You're the love of my life and the life of my love."
What woman would not be seduced by the thought of a man so wildly pursuing her love?
Unashamedly, Biden declared in his speech how thrilled he was to hear his wife say publicly in her address at the convention, "I've always loved you." Here was a man admitting his relief in being told he's loved, after a history of five pleas before getting her nod.
Another healthy relationship move the V.P. did: value your wife's career -- again, the more publicly the better.
The happiest spouse will say, "He helps me be who I really want to be," and, "He tells the world how wonderful I am."
Biden's acknowledgement of his wife's accomplishments as a teacher would make any female voter think, "I want a man like that in my life."
In the past, President Obama has also admitted to pursuing his wife before she finally gave in and dated him.
A man willing to be vulnerable and admit his pursuit of being loved is appealing indeed. So is the Romney story of childhood sweethearts in long-lasting love.
With the American people suffering so much from fractured families and financial woes, the candidates would do well to invoke these qualities of healthy relationships in their race for the hearts of Americans.
