Laurinburg & Southern Railroad
The Laurinburg & Southern Railroad was incorporated on 4 Mar. 1909 in response to protests from three industries in Laurinburg that were dissatisfied with the service of the railroad on which they were located. N. G. Wade, D. M. Flynn, J. F. McNair, J. Blue, A. L. Jones, and J. A. Jones were the incorporators, with McNair serving as president. Construction from Johns to East Laurinburg was completed on 2 July 1909, and soon the railroad made its first shipment of freight, a carload of finished cotton goods. Within a year the line was completed to Wagram, and on 12 Nov. 1921 a section from Wagram to Raeford was purchased from the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad. Passenger service began on 11 June 1910 and later that year was expanded to include through service with the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad.
In the early 2000s the 28-mile Laurinburg & Southern was owned by the Gulf & Ohio Railways of Knoxville, Tenn., which also owned the Nash County Railroad and the Yadkin Valley Railroad and connected with CSX and the Aberdeen & Rockfish Railroad. Its chief traffic included grain, fertilizer, soda ash, coal, and lime. The company also performed contract track construction and crossing maintenance.

Hello Dave,
I have played back the original Audacity recording that was made when FUNcube-1 was first activated on 21 November 2013. With the latest version of the Dashboard it was possible to decode the first few frames that were received. Those were not decoded at the time. Everything has gone wrong that day, the Internet connection fell away and I could only upload the few frames that I got after the pass, manual Doppler compensation and the tuning steps on the FT-817ND were too big and to top it all an important telephone call came through just when FUNcube-1 started transmitting... Switch-on also took place when FUNcube-1 was already dipping down to the horizon. Still, I got something :-)
Back to the question: Is there any way in which archived FUNcube-1 data from the Warehouse could be obtained, either by direct access or on request? I am just very curious to see where these newly recovered frames would have fitted in among those initial ones that were uploaded by Alan, ZS1LS, and from here.
Thank you!
73, Jan ZS6BMN

Thanks to MindLoveMisery's Menagerie for hosting this week's photo prompt:
Time's clock is forever ticking above death's throne. The clock's glass face absorbes the colours of the landscape where death resides. The greyish-green of the stone mass, a floating island, and the pinky-red fire of the sky above and below, reflects on the clock's face.
The figure of death sits soberly in his throne. The stone carved form a perfect fit for his lanky tall body. Beneath death's left and right hands, the leering skulls of his first two victims sit. They are from our first two ancestors, people who lived exceptionally long compared to the humans living in modern times. Adam and Eve had tried to evade death, even though they knew he was coming for them. They had been ignorant and had no idea what death actually meant until they breathed their last.
Their souls he'd had to let fly in heaven, gold birds with giant wings exploring their freedom and return to painlessness. He had kept their skulls, though one day he knew he would have to return them. For now, Adam and Eve's skulls peered eerily out onto whichever soul was before death seated on his throne. Together with the dying person, death watched their last seconds of life tick away. He towered over them in his realm and let their soul sour to heaven or to hell, there was no inbetween except him.
Some souls who stood before him were not afraid. This always amazed death. He was an imposing figure, giant and fearsome, his red hair as consuming flames, and his eyes burning coals. Some humans gazed up at him with what frightened death as wisdom, something they had gained, which few knew, not even him. Their souls flew away and he knew he would never see them again. Other people crumbled before him and he took time to torment them whether they went below or above. He was death after all, a fearsome being.
Yet, he had no control where a soul went. Death had no power to choose or to do as he wanted. He had a job, a task. He was death, he killed; but he was not merely an end. He was also the beginning. What he valued most of all, freeing those souls trapped in decaying bodies or in bodies injured profusely. Death was a contradiction of terms, both good and evil. Souls of faith went above and souls of disbelief went down to hades. Even death was afraid of what lay far beneath him in the abyss.

Revision as of 22:18, 13 July 2009
Anaconda use mdraid for certain BIOS-RAID types
Use mdraid instead of dmraid for certain BIOS-RAID types (currently only Intel BIOS-RAID using imsm meta-data).
- Name: Hans De Goede
- email: jwrdegoede AT fedoraproject DOT org
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 12
- Last updated: 2009-07-09
- Percentage of completion: 70%
Detailed Description
Anaconda will use mdraid instead of dmraid to get access to BIOS-RAID sets using the imsm metadata format. Supporting imsm Raid 0, 1, 5, and 10 sets.
Benefit to Fedora
mdraid offers a number of features over dmraid, and mdraid is where all future development for Intel BIOS-RAID will happen, the most direct visible benefit is support for raid5 sets.
The code is mostly written and is currently being tested, still todo:
- dracut support
How To Test
Testing will require Intel BIOS-RAId capable hardware.
We will have to verify the following areas of functionality:
- recognize Raid 0,1, 5, 6, 10 devices and install correctly
- on new partitions
- on existing partitions
- on new LVM logical volumes
- on preexisting LVM logical volumes
- automatic partitioning of systems
- clearing of existing devices/partitions
- boot successfully after install
- grub needs to be installed correctly
- dracut needs to handle imsm metadata raid sets correctly
- detection of existing upgradable installations with widely varied storage configurations
- rescue mounting of existing systems with a wide variety of storage configurations
User Experience
No impact unless you have this hardware but current users of Intel ISW hardware and dmraid will find their device names changed.
- mdadm 3.0 final (in rawhide now)
Contingency Plan
Fall back to using dmraid for imsm metadata, the dmraid code will be kept around for handling other metadata formats.
- FIXME: Will need to include in Installation Guide.
Release Notes
Fedora 12 now uses mdraid instead of dmraid for installation onto Intel BIOS-RAID sets, which should be detected automatically. Devices with Intel ISW metadata will be recognized as mdraid NOT dmraid after this change, which will cause them to have different device node names.
This means that special precautions must be taken when upgrading systems with Intel BIOS-RAID sets, by default Fedora does not refer to these device by their device node name, but uses UUID, so default installations can be upgraded without problems.
Before upgrading installations with local modifications to /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab, or to other configurationfiles which refer to device node names, the affected files need to be manually edited to refer to the devices by UUID instead of by device node path, see the output of the "blkid" command for the UUID's for your devices.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Four Cobras scored in double figures in Coker's 71-58 loss to Queens University of Charlotte on Wednesday (Jan. 8) night.
Julian Nelson led the way for Coker with 12 points, while Eren Moses had 10 points and seven rebounds. Teon Beckett and James Brown also scored 10 points apiece.
Queens took the lead early with an 8-0 run to start the game. Coker clawed its way back into the game and took its first lead of the contest, 19-18, thanks to a jump shot from Moses with 9:18 left in the half. The game remained tight for the remainder of the half, and the Royals took a 33-31 lead into halftime.
The Royals continued to add to their lead in the second half. The Cobras were able to trim the lead to just 10 points, 68-58, with a minute remaining, but Queens went on to take home the victory 71-58.
The Cobras will return to the floor on Saturday (Jan. 11) for a SAC road game at Anderson. Tip-off is set for 4 p.m. following the women's game at 2 p.m.

Listed below are frequently asked questions regarding DenaliCare pregnancy coverage.
You may click on a subject or scroll through this page and see if your question can be answered here before contacting your local Public Assistance Office.
1. What is the correct process for notifying DenaliCare when a baby is born?
A report of birth may be submitted by the mother, provider, or hospital, via telephone, mail, fax via your local Public Assistance Office. Reports of birth should contain the name of the parent(s), mother's DenaliCare ID number or SSN, child's name, sex and date of birth.
2. What happens after the DenaliCare office is notified of the birth of a baby?
The DenaliCare office will determine eligibility for the baby within ten days of receipt of the report of birth. Information will be available on the Eligibility Verification System (EVS) system within approximately one week after eligibility is established.
3. How can this process mentioned in question 2 above be hastened for newborns requiring emergency medical treatment and/or emergency travel?
Emergency medical treatment is generally provided regardless of coverage. Providers generally cover true emergencies and can work on forms of payment after the fact. The health care provider or parent would call the DenaliCare office during business hours and explain the circumstances.
If the baby requires emergency travel, the report of birth may be telephoned to the DenaliCare office as soon as possible.
4. How can a health care provider be assured that a newborn requiring emergency medical treatment will be eligible for Medicaid/DenaliCare?
A child born to a woman who is eligible for DenaliCare in the delivery month is automatically eligible for DenaliCare without an application. Eligibility for the newborn continues until the end of the month in which the child turns one year old if the child remains in the mother's household and both mother and child remain residents of Alaska.
A mother is not required to submit an application for DenaliCare for herself before delivery, but in order to have the birth month covered, the woman must apply within the three month retroactive period and be determined eligible for the month of birth. In other words, as long as the mother applies for and is eligible for DenaliCare for the birth month, even if she applies after the baby is born, the baby is eligible for Newborn coverage.

Birth control pills come in packs. The most common type has 3 weeks
of hormone pills. Some packs have sugar pills for the fourth week. During that
fourth no-hormone week, you have your menstrual period. After the fourth week
(28 days), you start a new pack.
Some birth control pills are packaged so that you take hormone pills continuously for a period of time. With pills packaged in this way, you may not have a monthly period or you may only have a period every couple of months.
There are several ways you can start taking your first pack of
pills. Talk with your doctor about when to start taking your pills:
Take your hormone pills every day, at about the same time of day.

The Betafactory
The Betafactory is an important knowledge and innovation platform that operates within the Faculty of Technology, Innovation & Society at The Hague University of Technology and serves as a networking organisation. We coordinate the supply of technological competencies and the need for them that arises from the business community, government authorities and educational institutions; ultimately, this will result in innovation and enterprise. You should also know that the Betafactory is the hot spot for applied research for this faculty's 14 degree programmes that are located on 2 THUAS campuses (The Hague and Delft).
A networking university of applied sciences
One of the aims of THUAS is to be a networking university of applied sciences; the Betafactory organises various activities for this purpose. A few examples:
- The Betafactory Award: the student team that submits the best version of the project wins the award. How do you win? In any case, by scoring well on these criteria:
- Quality (depending on the students' academic year)
- Degree of innovation
- Effort
- Research
- Application
- Hackatons: Ever want to get together and get hacking for 24 hours straight? Well, you can. During this 24-hour hackathon, students in the Faculty of Technology, Innovation & Society devise innovative solutions for problems faced by a certain sector like healthcare. Besides the assistance provided by coaches from the realms of education and business, the hackathon also features various workshops. A jury then assesses the final result as based on factors like its feasibility and degree of innovation, as well as the methods used by the team.
- Conferences and symposia: every year, all the stakeholders are invited to work together on formulating R&D proposals for the future. The objective? To guide the developments that research, education, business and students will be working on in coming years and, when possible, to cement this collaboration further.
- During the project fair, companies and lecturers can search for opportunities for collaboration and discuss how the case studies from industry match the education in the short term.
CollaborationThe purpose of the Betafactory is to promote a circulation of expertise between the Faculty of Technology, Innovation & Society, the business community, and government authorities. This circulation of expertise comes about by intensive collaboration with research groups and degree programmes. Working together on research with the business community on projects that will be to its benefit is an effort that develops and applies expertise related to products, systems and prototypes. Our participation in the HighTechCentreDelft also involves collaboration with the technological education chain. Not just the engineering and technology universities but also senior secondary vocational education and lower secondary school education work together in the HighTechCentreDelft.
Research Areas
Within the Betafactory, we have what we call 'Research Areas'. These Research Areas are further developed, applied and verified by the Betafactory with our research groups.
- Smart Sensor Systems
- Urban Symbiosis
- A Circular Economy
- A Designerly approach
- Process Optimisation
- Smart (functional) Materials
- Photonics
- Smart Manufacturing & Robotics
- Lightweight Constructions
- The Built Environment & Energy
Betafactory 16

Mounties charge Canadian IT guy over botnet scam
Worldwide keylogger empire alleged
Canadian police have arrested a man accused of planting key-logging malware on hundreds of computers across the world.
Joseph Mercier, 24, of Laval, Quebec, allegedly hacked school board systems in Canada as well as computer networks in the US, France, Russia and the United Arab Emirates. Mercier – who was in charge of his employer's information security – reportedly ran his alleged botnet scam at home and at work, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reports.
Mercier was released on bail following a brief court appearance on Tuesday. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are still investigating the scope of his alleged misdeeds. It's unclear whether any banking fraud resulted from the scam, the precise motive for which remains unclear.
CTV Montreal has more on the case, including a courtroom sketch of Mercier, in a story here. ®

As many as 12 US Secret Service agents preparing for President Obama's trip to Cartagena, Colombia, apparently fell short of the service's motto – "Worthy of Trust and Confidence" – and were sent back to the US, according to published reports, for excessive drinking and consorting with prostitutes.
Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan wouldn't confirm the numbers of agents involved or the circumstances for their reprimand. But he said, "The Secret Service takes all allegations of misconduct seriously."
But the head of a law enforcement union that represents Secret Service agents said at least one accusation involved an agent and prostitutes. While soliciting prostitutes is legal in Colombia, the Secret Service considers it inappropriate.
How much do you know about the US Constitution? A quiz.
According to staff at the Hotel Caribe, Secret Service staff drank heavily in the hotel, where White House staff and members of the press were also staying. A separate report said a prostitute complained to police after one of the agents failed to pay her.
A supervisor admonished the agents and sent them back to the US on Thursday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said the move had no operational impact and did not affect Obama's security, though it came amid tight security and two separate bomb blasts in Cartagena ahead of the Summit of the Americas.
The scandal may be one of the largest for the buttoned-up agency that's known for its sunglasses-and-earpiece wearing men who protect the president, vice president, other top US officials, and visiting dignitaries. But it comes just two years after about 100 agents dished dirt about their jobs and the people they've protected over the years in "In the President's Secret Service," former Post reporter Ronald Kessler's gossipy peek into the Secret Service's inner workings.
The scandal also comes at a proving time for the agency, which is dealing both with a boom in cyber-crime – its ancillary responsibility – and growing perceptions of threats against senior US officials, all on top of protecting the first black US president, who receives a steady dose of death threats.
"Once Obama became president," Kessler wrote in his book, "the Secret Service experienced a 400 percent increase in the number of threats against the president, in comparison with President Bush."
Created by President Abraham Lincoln to tackle counterfeiting, the US Secret Service began protecting presidents in 1901, and its role has continued to evolve, especially after 9/11, when it was moved from the Treasury Department to DHS. The constant expansion of mandated protectees by Congress has complicated the agency's mission, according to the Congressional Research Service, which has suggested Congress consider splitting the agency in two in order to refine its investigative and protective missions.
Others say the agency, which has a $1.5 billion budget, most of which goes to support 3,200 special protection agents, is fine as it is. They point out that agents haven't lost any of their protectees in nearly 50 years. The last attack came in 2005, when a man in Tbilisi, Georgia, threw a hand grenade at President Bush. The bomb, which landed 61 feet from dignitaries including First Lady Laura Bush, didn't detonate.
With movies like "In the Line of Fire" featuring Clint Eastwood and the 1939 "Secret Service of the Air" starring Ronald Reagan, Hollywood has often glorified the long-veiled Secret Service (although "Air Force One" starring Harrison Ford as a president who endures treachery from a Secret Service agent is the rare critique).
More broadly, Americans have more than once seen agents risk their lives.
Agents Clint Hill and Rufus Youngblood were hailed for their selfless reaction to the shooting of President Kennedy in Dallas and protection of first lady Jackie Kennedy, and agent Tim McCarthy was commended for taking a bullet and widening his stance to protect President Ronald Reagan in 1981 as John Hinckley fired six rounds. In all, agents have successfully protected six presidents from seven attacks, according to the Congressional Research Service, with Gerald Ford, surviving two separate gun attacks.
The agency has its critics, to be sure. In a 2009 book review, James Bamford, a noted intelligence analyst, writes, "But for all their talk of danger, there are few jobs in law enforcement as safe as that of a Secret Service agent. None have been killed during an assassination attempt in more than half a century, and few have been wounded. It is far more hazardous to put on a Bureau of Indian Affairs or Park Police badge."
The publication of Kessler's book also stung the agency, as it recounted tabloid-style observations from the outwardly straight-laced agency, providing a jarring contrast to some critics.
Interesting in light of the latest accusations, for example, agents discussed Lyndon Johnson's "stable" of female friends, and dished on Vice President Spiro Agnew, whom agents claimed to have escorted to hotels for trysts. "We felt like pimps," one agent said.
The book also showed Secret Service agents to be, on the whole, a conservative lot, who considered George W. Bush "down to earth, caring," while criticizing the Clinton Administration for its chronic tardiness at events.
This week's scandal came as two bomb blasts rocked Cartagena ahead of Saturday's summit in a region still struggling to control violent drug lords and a global cocaine trade.
"These personnel changes will not affect the comprehensive security plan that has been prepared in advance of the President's trip," Mr. Donovan, the agency spokesman, said.

Emergency Watershed Protection Program
/ Emergency Watershed Protection Program
Loading Tree...
The purpose of the Emergency Watershed Protection (EWP) program is to undertake emergency measures, including the purchase of flood plain easements, for runoff retardation and soil erosion prevention to safeguard lives and property from floods, drought, and the products of erosion on any watershed whenever fire, flood or any other natural occurrence is causing or has caused a sudden impairment of the watershed.
It is not necessary for a national emergency to be declared for an area to be eligible for assistance. Program objective is to assist sponsors and individuals in implementing emergency measures to relieve imminent hazards to life and property created by a natural disaster. Activities include providing financial and technical assistance to remove debris from streams, protect destabilized streambanks, establish cover on critically eroding lands, repairing conservation practices, and the purchase of flood plain easements. The program is designed for installation of recovery measures.

Since 1996, NRCS has been authorized to purchase floodplain easements on lands that qualify for EWP assistance. Floodplain easements restore, protect, maintain, and enhance the functions of the floodplain; conserve natural values including fish and wildlife habitat, water quality, flood water retention, ground water recharge, and open space; reduce long-term federal disaster assistance; and safeguard lives and property from floods, drought, and the products of erosion.
Floodplain easements are permanent conservation easement that provide the NRCS with the full authority to restore and enhance the floodplain's functions and values. In exchange, a landowner receives the least of one of the three following values as an easement payment: (i) a geographic rate established by the NRCS state conservationist; (ii) a value based on a market appraisal analysis for agricultural uses or assessment for agricultural land; or (iii) the landowner offer.

Hello everybody!
My name is Dal, I am student in Norway. From all those language courses that I had, the one that I enjoy programming in most, is Java. I feel quite comfortable programming with Java, but there is still so many things that I would like to learn.
Accidentaly I stopped by in your forums, and I liked it here - very friendly community. I were arround for a few days now and I did learn a lot by reading others written code, it gave me a different perspective on things I am trying to make myself. Also it is interesting to see what problems others are having, and help them on the way.
I am finishing my current project now (C#), just few more days left, then I will start with new one, this time in Java, and I might need some help, so I gues you will hear from me pretty soon again.
Meanwhile I will stick arround and try to help others once I get free time.

Brewery cans 15 packs
Not only is a local brewery growing to be one of the largest breweries in the nation, it's also starting some trends.
Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids will be the first major craft brewery to put out a 15 pack when its All Day IPA cans hit the market in March in the unusual case.
The All Day IPA is a 4.7 ABV session India Pale Ale, brewed with Simcoe and Amarillo hops. It took home a 2010 silver medal in session beer at the Great American Beer Festival and recently won a national Good Food Award.
There's a unique twist to the increase in product — it will be the same price as the 12 pack currently on the market.
"We are able to offer 15-pack cans due to production efficiencies from packaging cost savings," Founders Brewing CEO Mike Stevens said. "We're excited to pass the savings on to our customers as a way of saying thank you for their reception of All Day IPA."
All Day IPA will still be available in six packs of bottles.
The creation and original release of Founders' leading brand didn't hint to this new "brewer's dozen."
The beer was a limited release in 2012 because of hop shortages, but eventually went to a year-round offering last year.
It was also the brewery's first offering in a can, now accompanied by Centennial IPA.
"We recognized the need for a full-flavored IPA with a lower ABV," said Founders Brewing Co-Founder Dave Engbers. "The challenge was creating a beer that had intense hop aromatics balanced with the malts, without packing a big ABV punch."

World News on Wednesday night continued to try and link Mitt Romney to the comments of a Republican Senate candidate in Indiana. Anchor Diane Sawyer began the program by hyping, "The Romney campaign wrestles today with a landmine on a big issue for women."
On Tuesday, Richard Mourdock said that life is a "gift from God" and that "even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something that God intended to happen." Reporter David Muir insisted the words "have caused a firestorm." On Wednesday's Good Morning America, George Stephanopoulos warned that "Romney [is] catching some flak for his ties" to Mourdock.
Muir has a habit of playing up every Democratic talking point. On October 18, Muir obsessed over Mitt Romney's "binder blunder."
On September 27, the journalist prematurely lectured Romney, "I'm curious what you would say to some of your supporters tonight, your donors who might be concerned this could be slipping away?"
A transcript of the World News segment can be found below:
6:30 tease
DIANE SAWYER: The scramble. Does the only movable voter in the Presidential campaign now look like this? The Romney campaign wrestles today with a landmine on a big issue for women.
DIANE SAWYER: And now, we move on to something else millions of Americans are watching tonight, the red-hot race for the White House. Our new ABC News/"Washington Post" poll out today shows the two men deadlocked, Governor Romney on top by a hair tonight. So which group of voters could still break this tie? And why was the Republican camp scrambling on a hot-button issue today? Thirteen days until Americans go to the polls, it's "Your Voice Your Vote." And ABC's David Muir is in the battleground state of Iowa tonight. David?
DAVID MUIR: Diane, good evening from Iowa tonight. And that hot-button issue you speak of is a women's right to choose and it's back front and center in the news tonight because what a Senate candidate said during a debate. That candidate had just been endorsed in a new TV ad by Mitt Romney. Tonight they are words that have caused a firestorm, from a Senate candidate who just days ago put up this ad, an endorsement from Mitt Romney. Now that Senate candidate, reigniting a flashpoint when asked in a debate if he supported abortion in cases of rape, he said this:
RICHARD MOURDOCK: I came to realize life is that gift from God and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something that God intended to happen.
MUIR: Within hours, the Romney campaign trying to distance itself, saying those comments don't reflect Romney's views. But word today, Romney will continue to support the Republican candidate from Indiana. For Mitt Romney, though, it complicates his final push to appeal to more women voters. President Obama leads among women. But among a key group, white, married middle-class women, Romney is ahead by more than 20 points in our newest poll tonight. Increasing that number could be the key the victory. Romney speaking of women on the trail today in Nevada.
MITT ROMNEY: I think of this single mom right now raising a child or two or three that is scrimping herself - for herself so she could put a good meal on the table.
MUIR: in that final debate, a more moderate tone that might appeal more to women.
ROMNEY: We want a peaceful planet.
MUIR: ) But on the delicate issue of abortion, shifting tone is more challenging. Romney during the primaries--
ROMNEY: Do I believe the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v Wade? Yes, I do.
MUIR: But then, just this month, he told the "Des Moines Register" this.
ROMNEY: There's no legislation with regarding - regards to abortion that I'm familiar with that would become part of my agenda.
MUIR: The President calling these moderate moves an issue of trust. Today, in Iowa--
BARACK OBAMA: You can choose to turn back the clock 50 years on women and immigrants and gays or, in this election, you can stand up for the kind of America that says we embrace everybody.
MUIR: And tonight, the Obama out with its first ad featuring Michelle Obama.
MICHELLE OBAMA: Every young person in this country has access to good schools.
MUIR: An effort to reassure voters, among them women, who might have given Romney a second look, hoping that they'll stick with the President. The Obama campaign tried to accomplish two goals with that new ad with Michelle Obama. They're trying to reach those women who might be considering Mitt Romney. They're trying to bring them back to President Obama. They're also reaching that key voting block of Hispanic voters. Meantime here tonight, Diane, Mitt Romney is gonna be here in Iowa, moments from now. He'll end the night in the key battleground of Ohio. No surprise there, Diane.

Protecting personnel and equipment from damage is a top priority for most companies, especially those whose work involves industrial power systems. The neutral grounding resistor (NGR) with integral Sigma relay from I-Gard, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is helping employers achieve this goal by incorporating grounding circuit monitoring along with a ground fault relay. According to the company, the NGR is the only product currently available that limits both the duration of a fault as well as the fault magnitude.
"This hasn't been done before," says Tony Locker, I-Gard's director of business development. "Normally, you'd have two separate products — one would monitor the resistor, and the other would be a ground fault relay. We've combined them into one system."
Introduced to the market last spring, Locker explains two main factors prompted the development of the product. "In the past, there were resistors out in the field with wires connecting them to the power system," he says. "Either the resistor itself would fail due to things like loose or corroded connections, or the copper wires running from the power system to the resistors were stolen because copper scrap was becoming so valuable. So even if the resistor was intact and functioning well, it couldn't operate if the copper ground wires were missing."
Compounding the dilemma was the fact that the only time a resistor or relay comes into play is if a problem occurs on the power system. "During normal operation, there is nothing going on with the resistor — 98% of the time it's literally just sitting there," says Locker. "So you don't know if you have a bad resistor until you have a problem on the power system. This product alerts you about a resistor's status prior to an anomaly on the power system."
Bernard Geurts, an operations supervisor with ABB, Zurich, Switzerland, says the device is being used on a 600V unit substation application in Canada to monitor the ground fault resistor and ground fault current on the distribution transformer. "Along with auxiliary relays, it is used to alarm on the presence of a ground fault and trip the main secondary 600V breaker or loss of resistor," he says. "It also fulfills the requirements of the Ontario Mining Code by constantly monitoring the condition of the grounding resistor and the possible presence of an active ground fault. It provides separate contacts to allow independent operations, depending on the type of fault."
Initially geared toward the mining industry, I-Gard expanded the product offering to industrial customers and utilities. Branching out into new markets brought different design considerations. "The atmosphere and different types of environments — such as heat, cold, high humidity, and salt air — had to be taken into account," says Locker. "Also, we had to develop a human machine interface (HMI) that could attach to the resistor enclosure so users didn't have to open the enclosure to get inside to look at or operate the relay."
In addition, all of the NGRs are standardized on the edgewound element design. According to I-Gard, the edgewound element material is mounted on porcelain supports that are not affected by high temperatures or high voltages. Thus, the coiled element is able to expand, will not deform when heated, and offers consistent current density. Made of a special grade of electrical alloy with a low-temperature coefficient of resistance, the element material prevents the resistance value from increasing sharply as the resistor operates through a wide temperature range.
"Customers have been impressed with the controlled change of resistance," confirms Locker. "They also see the benefit of having a resistor and relay in one package. It allows one product to be used in lieu of several, which lowers the system cost and reduces space requirements."

We (That's totally a Victorian "We". My husband did all the work) ordered it last week. It showed up on our door step two days ago and we love it. The timing of Shauna's email question and the arrival of the book could not have been better.
I've seen photos books around for a long time but I'm not going to lie, I really wasn't interested in them. I'm old school. I love to scrapbook so the thought of just plunking pictures down on a page and having a book made didn't seem as special. Boy, was I wrong. I'm not changing my ways, scrapbooks, glue, paper, embellishments, still rock. But, these books have something special all on their own.
So, my idea for nice gift for Grandparents day is to make one of these books. Ours was just a bunch of photos that showcased my kids spending time with their grandparents. Plus, we added in some quick captions. However, if you don't have a lot of photos, you could have family members write a letter on one page and add a photo on the other or something like that. There's a lot of flexibility here. Plus, if you get it ordered soon, you'll have it in time. Shutterfly was super quick with ours, it was printed and shipped in less than a week.
In looking at this book I am reminded at how special these two people are in the lives of my kids. What a great reminder to have it all in one place. Plus, I know they are gonna LOVE it.
Just a bit of info, Grandparents day is always celebrated the Sunday after Labor Day. This year it is on September 11th. In the U.S. we've been celebrating it since 1978 and it was created in an effort to get the youth to recognize the contributions seniors have made through out history. Pretty cool!
Also, I'm in no way sponsored by Shutterfly but I was very pleased with them. This is the second book we've made and ordered and I love them both. Right now I think they have some free shipping deals going on, you can check them out here: http://www.shutterfly.com/

For most people, marriage by proxy went the way of the sword and farthing-ale, but the Internet has made proxy marriage bloom.
The phenomenon is being fueled by immigrant communities in the United States, according to the New York Times. In the story, American citizen Punam Chowdhury married her Bangladeshi husband via Skype and with the blessing of her own imam in Jackson Heights mosque.
Marriage by proxy, where only one member of the couple is present, is usually thought of as an ancient tradition -- something akin to a maiden kissing a knight's sword as proxy for her absent groom during the Crusades. The Internet and streaming video have changed all that.
In the United States, most proxy marriages seem to occur because one member of the union is on military deployment. Only a few states, among them California, Montana and Texas, allow proxy marriages to occur.
The rise seen in immigrant communities is based on the idea that proxy marriage is blessed by the Koran. "After all these advancements in technology and all kinds of telecommunication tools, scholars came to the conclusion that it is acceptable," the imam Shamsi Ali, of the Jamaica Muslim Center in Queens, told the Times. "Skype is making it easier. . . . These days you have Google Hangouts, too."

I recently heard sociologist Robert Putnam speak at a Georgetown University event that gathered people of faith and no faith to discuss the common good. In his speech, he complained about America's "radically shriveled sense of we." The author of "Bowling Alone," the famous 1995 essay on the decline of social capital—our connection to each other through activities and institutions—Putnam converted to Judaism in part because of its strong sense of community.
There was a time, Putnam argued, when churches and schools threw together youth of differing social class in ways that connected and motivated them, and helped poor youth escape poverty. This is not mere nostalgia. Putnam has surveyed decades of data to show how communities have become more segregated, and how the children of parents without a college education are now deprived of the things that create equal opportunity.
Kids from working-class homes used to be "our kids," he said. Now they are other people's kids, and we expect other people to solve their problems. But young people are our future. Their problems are ours.
Putnam was talking about inequality, which, he said, causes problems that need both conservative and liberal solutions. Liberals, he said, must learn to appreciate the conservative stress on family structures and the potential of faith communities. Solutions "have to involve churches," he said in a 2012 speech.
Further, he said, "I happen to think that hugs and time are more important than money." But, he went on, "money is important, too," and that means conservatives are going to have to recognize the need for government action in everything from tax structure ...1

Tinea versicolor is a common fungal infection that causes patches of discolored skin. Tinea versicolor is most common in warm, humid weather. The patches — which can be white, brown, red or gray-black — might be mildly itchy and are often more noticeable after sun exposure. In adults and adolescents, the patches usually develop on the back, chest or arms. In children, tinea versicolor usually affects the face.
Treatments include over-the-counter antifungal creams, lotions or shampoos. Skin color might remain uneven for months, however, and the infection might return — especially in warm, humid weather.

Does anyone know anything about the "Fundamentalis Tabula Arithmetica" or what could be special about the numbers 106 and 117 that would make Europeans in the 1600s want to know their multiples? Googling reveals nothing about a "Fundamentalis Tabula Arithmetica". Is the word "Fundamentalis" really Latin?
From: Alex Bellos
Date: Mon, Jul 11, 2011 at 11:01 AM
Subject: [math-fun] tables
To: math-fun
Hi - I've just received an email from a reader who saw in a Cologne museum a document called Fundamentalis Tabula Arithmetica from 1638. It is a table of multiples for all the numbers up to 100 and also the tables for these five numbers:
106, 117, 256, 318 and 365
It's pretty obvious why 256 and 365 are included.
Might anyone have any thoughts as to why 106, 117 and 318 (3x106) are also included?

Opportunity knocked. The Dodgers didn't answer.
Now they need to bounce back Friday with a win against the best road team in baseball or things could go downhill fast. All that's because the Dodgers lost game one of the League Championship Series 8-6.
The Philadelphia bullpen was supposed to be a weak spot the Dodgers could attack. It was — Los Angeles had the bases loaded in the sixth and men on base in every inning after. But the Dodgers hit just 3 for 14 with runners in scoring position, rarely taking advantage of their opportunities.
The Dodger bullpen was supposed to be its strong point, especially with lefthander George Sherrill setting up in the eighth inning. But Sherrill gave up two walks and a three-run homer. The Phillies grabbed their opportunities.
That's why they are World Champions. It's what the Dodgers will need to do in the rest of this series if they want a shot at that title.
Not all the blame for the loss falls on the Dodgers players — Joe Torre has the best bullpen in baseball, but it can't help you if you don't use it. For the first time this playoffs, Torre stuck with his starter hoping he could work his way out of trouble and the result was a five-run fifth inning for the Phillies.
Dodger starter Clayton Kershaw was great through four innings, but with two outs in the fourth two boarder line calls — okay, they were strikes — were called balls against Phillies power hitter Ryan Howard, who walked. After that, the young Kershaw was never quite right. He got out of the fourth but on a fly ball out to the warning track.
Then in the fifth he couldn't find the strike zone. Kershaw had three wild pitches in the inning — a League Championship Series record. Worse yet was the three run homer by Carlos Ruiz that put the Phillies up 3-1. Then there was the two-run double by Ryan Howard to make it 5-1, still with Kershaw in the game.
In the first game of the previous series against the Cardinals, starter Randy Wolf got in trouble and Torre didn't hesitate, pulling him in the fourth inning. He did hesitate Thursday, and it cost his team.
Fortunately, the patience of the Dodgers hitters through the first four innings — racking up the pitch count on Phillies starter Cole Hamels — paid off in the fifth. Helped out by a blown double-play ball by the Phillies infield that brought Manny Ramirez to the plate with Andrew Either on bas., Manny reminded the Phillies his slump was over — well, it is if you keep throwing him off-speed stuff and not fastballs — and hit a homer deep into the right field bleachers.
It was 5-4 Phillies in the eighth when Torre made what should have been a smart move, going to Sherrill, who had made 33 appearances for the Dodgers this season and given up just four earned runs. But when he gave up three Thursday the game was all but over.
Maybe if Casey Blake can get one hit for the Dodgers things are different. But you have to take advantage of your opportunities. Dodger fans better hope they start doing that fast.

MILFORD, Conn. — It's no April Fools' joke. The baby bunny really does have two noses.
Allison Noe, a Connecticut pet shop worker, found the nosey bunny in a delivery of 6-week-old dwarf rabbits that arrived at the Milford store last week, according to the Connecticut Post. Both noses have two nostrils.
The owner of the Purr-Fect Pets shop says he's never seen anything like it in 25 years in the business. He says the bunny eats, drinks and hops around like the rest of the litter.
Beardsley Zoo director Gregg Dancho says the deformity could be the result of too much inbreeding or the parents' exposure to pesticides or poisons.
Store workers have begun a naming contest with Cyrano de Bergerac and Deuce among the contenders so far.
